💙 Gratz Equipped Studio Tour | JPilates 💙

Founded by Joanne Cobbe, @jpilatesuk is rooted in a deep respect for the Classical Pilates method and a commitment to continued learning. With studios across Ireland and the UK, Joanne’s teaching journey has evolved alongside her dedication to teacher education, helping both new and experienced instructors deepen their understanding of the work.

Why Classical Pilates?
Joseph Pilates was an absolute genius and visionary! His philosophy for living, his inventions, the exercises and order are as relevant, beneficial and powerful in today’s world as they were then. Added to this, we have the fabulous additions from the Elders. Understanding, practising and constantly delving deeper in the Method, brings the best results not just to our clients but ourselves.

What’s your favorite piece of equipment?
Definitely the Wall Unit (although I would need to find a palm tree to attach it to!) It ticks all the boxes for every ability and it is my go-to for my own practice.

What’s a piece of advice you always come back to?
It has to be a quote from Eve Gentry
“Don’t just be a conveyor belt. You will not grow....you will get stuck and the mechanism won’t work”

What color upholstery is your studio equipped with?
Royal blue!

Tell us about your clientele.
I own and run a Pilates teacher training company so most of my clientele are teachers either beginning their teacher journey or deepening and enhancing their understanding and knowledge.

Why Gratz?
There is nothing like Gratz-it is the gold standard. I always feel the apparatus is my workout partner-you don’t fight it, it gives you support when you need it and challenge when you want it. You don’t ride it, you work with it.

How did you start your studio
I first qualified in the early 2000s and have had studios in Ireland & the UK. I tried my first Gratz reformer in 2017 and had to change everything to Gratz after- there was no going back!

Thank you Joanne and the Jpilates community for carrying the method forward! 💕

✨The JPilates Story✨

I am so excited to finally reveal what we have been working on over the past few months!

I have had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with the incredible film maker @cansen.yilmaz to tell the story of JPilates, our training, our teachers and our unique community.

I am often asked about my story and how I created JPilates and so here is the first preview of the JPilates Story.

I hope you enjoy watching!!

With the opening of our new studio in Whitstable and the imminent arrival of more beautiful @gratz_pilates equipment, I am so excited to share the first of a new series, Beyond the Studio on 20th November.

Immerse yourself in a day of classes and mini workshops designed to inspire, refresh, energise and re-connect, specifically created for you! The day is designed to allow you as a teacher to simply be taught, to move, to ask questions and to enjoy the company of other teachers.

You can book as many of the sessions as you wish, choosing from classes and mini workshops, morning or afternoon or book the whole day.

Sessions are:

9.30-10.30-Class- Find strength with length
10.45-11.45-Class- Magic Circle everywhere!
12.00-13.00-Mini Workshop- I spy with my little eye…….

13.00-13.45- Lunch

13.45-14.45- Class- My favourite cues
15.00-16.00- Class- Focusing on longevity

Joseph Pilates said about the Reformer….
“Why use my strength? So I made a machine to do it for me. Look, you see it resists your movement in just the right way so those long inner muscles really have to work against it. That’s why you can concentrate on movement. You must always do it slowly and smoothly. Then your whole body is in it.”

With the incredible popularity of Reformer classes in studios & gyms, adding Reformer to your existing Mat qualification will greatly enhance your teaching opportunities or begin your journey into a full Comprehensive teacher.

A last minute space to join these training dates has come up.

✨My heart is full & my soul is singing! 3 days in #fountainebleau at the Pilates Center Immersion 🇫🇷with the most incredible teachers, true masters, who are so warm, genuine & deeply inspiring.

I first met @amyalpers in 2015 at Pepilates, London. She blew me away then & 11 years later- mind blown again! So much depth of expertise & knowledge yet creativity within the system.

Being back with Debora, @dkolwey in person was pure joy! Her sessions were so thought-provoking & beautifully combined with inherently, natural movements to underpin Pilates exercises, all wrapped up in such perceptive cueing.

Meeting @kaileziemba for the first time was so fabulous- exploring the elements of the archival work on the Low Chair in depth & detail - I loved it!

Being with old friends & meeting new was so amazing- we have such an incredible world-I feel so lucky to be a part of it.

Being in the breathtaking town of Fountainebleau, the food, the wine & the hospitality of @nina_blisspilates was unforgettable. Sharing it all with @pilateswithkasia was the icing on the cake!

I feel refreshed, restored & returned to life!Just as Joe wanted! Thank you @thepilatescenter - until next time!

GRATITUDE | June & July- you have been incredible! Every workshop, course & Pilates moment spent with you all has been amazing.

To share, learn, move & deepen our love for the work of Joe Pilates is so special. ✨

Thank you to every single one of you, teachers, studios & students who have shared the past 2 months with me. It has been a complete honour! From the JPilates Convention, to Studio Equipment training, bespoke studio training to guest teaching- it is such a privilege!

We are taking some space & time over the next few weeks but I will still be here for any support or questions as always!

🤍What’s the best part of the JPilates Convention….?

I absolutely loved
✨Delving into Joe’s Physical Culture Routine & the Archival Mat from the 1940s
✨Celebrating the exercises and adaptations of the 2nd Generation teachers
✨Blending biomechanics & neurology to better understand neck issues
✨Finding strength and space for the Diaphragm to supercharge breath
✨Exploring Joe’s Steel Bottom Slippers & unilateral work.

But the best part is US!🤍🤍
Being, moving, supporting & laughing together. Our community is the most precious & priceless element of JPilates. Thank you for being a part of it!

So much gratitude to our incredible supporters @ampwellbeing & @gratz_pilates 🙏🙏🙏

Looking forward to seeing you at the Winter Convention January 2027!

☀️JPilates Associates- Your summer bundle of resources is here!

As we are heading into the summer break, added to the Associates Area are June’s classes and also some extras to dip into!

☀️The Mini Loop- Who doesn’t love a mini loop?! This class is short but wow did I feel it!

☀️Tower with a little....! -This class went with a bang! I really hope you enjoy the spicy variations and feel the intensity!

☀️Mat- D is for Dots-Using dots is the most powerful yet simple cue ever! This external cue will bring the most incredible awareness, connection and effective movement.

☀️Reformer- J is for Joseph Pilates-Obviously, working through the Alphabet there can only be one J- Joseph Pilates! This class explores Joe’s (not the Classical) Order of Reformer including calling the exercises by the original names!

☀️Virtual Night Out- Class Planning including Hands on Teaching -I am so often asked about class planning and also how to incorporate hands on teaching. In this VNO I give you an easy-to-use template and clearly explain how to develop your own skills.

While Joseph Pilates is more famous for creating tension & load using metal springs and body weight, he also invented many accessories including his Steel Bottom Slippers designed to “pull students’ legs farther, over and down” as shown in a fabulous advert from the 1940s, shared by Cathy Strack in her book, “Get to know Joe Pilates”

These iron boots were also called Cinderella Slippers and were worn during the Mat exercises. A fantastic way of replicating the steel bottom slippers is to use ankle weights. Several of the Elders including Carola Trier and Kathy Grant used ankle weights.

We are so delighted to be collaborating with Amp Wellbeing this Summer Convention on 4th & 5th July and we will be using their gorgeous ankle/wrist weights in our last session where we will discuss further the history of these Cinderella Slippers!

There are a few spaces left if you would like to join us. Click the 🔗 in the bio for full details.
