Grant & I met in Alpine, TX, & our hearts reside in the vastness & beauty of the wilderness & isolation of Texas' most breathtaking region, Big Bend. This is subsequently, where my classical Pilates experience began.
Our love for the desert coupled with our commitment to preserving Joseph Pilates century long legacy of authentic classical Pilates made the century plant seem like a no brainer. Its "long to bloom" reputation embodies the transformative powers of classical Pilates & our body's inevitable metamorphosis over time to finally enter a period of blooming.
Joseph Pilates began developing his method in Europe & moved to the United States of America in the year 1926 where he set up shop on 8th avenue in New York. He spent his lifetime honing his craft & we believe his method was perfect as a result of his natural genius. We don't reinvent the wheel, we preserve his method.
We are definitely, "Anchored on a Century of Tradition".

"Emily is FANTASTIC and so welcoming and a joy to be around! Finding her has been such a blessing!! I had never done Pilates before and I absolutely love it!
I found Emily and Century Pilates when I needed something to strengthen my core after dealing with excruciating sciatic nerve pain due to bulging discs. She is SO knowledgeable and was easily able to provide variations of exercises to accommodate my limitations. I’ve been seeing her twice a week for over a year and the nerve pain hasn’t returned! I’ve been a lifter for a decade and Pilates has complemented my strength by giving me extra mobility, flexibility, and much needed core strength. A couple months into it, I remember one day realizing how much taller and in control of my body I felt. I’m terrified of becoming immobile as I age so Pilates will be a lifelong practice for me. Thank you Emily!! 😘"
"To begin my review, I would like to provide my rating of Century Pilates.
on a scale of 1-10, my rating is 10+. Emily (the owner) is a true professional and a Pilates artisan. I have been doing Pilates on and off for 5+ years in different cities. Emily is the best instructor I have ever trained with. Our first session was a discussion of what my expectations and goals were along with a brief session to determine the amount of "work" needed. we focused on core strengthening, posture improvement, flexibility, and overall conditioning. after (3) months, all areas have been improved and greatly enhanced and I look forward to my continuing journey.
If you thought about Pilates, please give Emily an opportunity and you will welcome your personal results."
"I have aging goals. They aren’t to be thin or pretty but to be strong and independent. Pilates is my long term care insurance. I’ve been taking pilates classes for over 15 years. In those years I’ve had teachers with a range of teaching skills. My journey started with private lessons from a remarkable professional so my foundation is strong. After a move to a different pilates community I struggled to find my pilates home. My search was over after I found Emily at Century Pilates. The intimate (and beautiful) space is a sanctuary, albeit a hard working one, that ticks all my boxes. I receive classical pilates training, individual attention even in groups because the groups are semi private, a top notch professional instructor, & a gorgeous space :) Worth every penny!"
"Emily is amazing!! I started going to her in January having consistently weight trained for years but had never done Pilates. I was barely able to touch my toes, had chronic back pain as well as a weak core from pregnancy and diastasis recti. 10 months later my back pain is so much better and I feel stronger than ever. She is a wonderful instructor - patient, knowledgeable, kind, funny and I now look forward to working out every week! Plus her studio is luxe and gorgeous!"
