Joe’s Gym Welcomes You

Joe's Gym is a unique experience not to be missed! This equipment, designed by Jay Grimes, offers the closest possible experience to the original apparatus. The precision it requires of each exercise is a game-changer from start to finish. And, just like Joe’s original studio, you can pop in when it’s convenient, no appointment necessary, take full advantage of all that Pilates On Tour® brings us! On a personal note, I purchased the Jay Grimes 80” Reformer after just one session with Jay on it, and I couldn’t be happier. Since then, I’ve acquired the entire line.

At Joe's Gym, you'll find passionate instructors who are experts on The Contrology Line. They own the line themselves and are personally invested in providing a student-led experience. You are not expected to have any preexisting knowledge of the Classical work; they will meet you where you are. They will be available to answer your questions and guide you through exercises, whether you prefer a one-on-one consultation or small group instruction. They will also be happy to leave you to your own work and experience the apparatus independently, giving you the time and space you need.

The instruction provided will perfectly complement the clarity of the apparatus, and I’m confident you'll discover something new. Personally, I found the foam density and the spring design required me to recalibrate my entire relationship to my center. You’ll learn of other special design features that will give you a beginner’s eye for an exercise you’ve done hundreds of times. Understanding the fundamentals behind the original design will deepen your practice, whether Contemporary or Classical.

For those interested in the Classical work or simply curious, visiting Joe's Gym provides a direct connection to the roots of Pilates. Simply, Jay Grimes taught the way Joe did, and this apparatus design reflects Jay's dedication to sharing Joe's vision of universal health.
