History of Power Pilates

Power Pilates has been operating since 1989. In 1997 we established the certification programs in New York City to preserve and teach the classical technique of Joseph Pilates. The demand for quality instructors lead to an international network of training centers all of which meet Power Pilates high standards of education and commitment to excellence. We have certified over 2000 instructors at over 20 different locations worldwide.

Our teacher training programs use the strong foundation of Joseph Pilates to help prospective instructors learn the specifics of a balanced workout. Instructors learn the methods of dealing with special case clients and most importantly the Power Pilates teaching tools, which provide an easy-to-follow formula for success.

The senior level team is made up of Founder/President Dr. Howard S. Sichel; Co-Owner/Vice President Susan Moran-Perich; Co-Directors Bob Liekens and Phoebe Higgins; and Senior Instructors Dana Eisenstein, Alison Laundrie and Juliet Harvey, to name a few. Combined, they have over 100 years experience in Pilates training. Susan, Bob, and Phoebe were all trained by Romana Kryzanowska in the 1980's. The collective knowledge and experience of our staff makes Power Pilates the leader in the field.

We presently operate 6 Power Pilates studios in New York City, 3 in southern California and 2 in Chicago. In addition to our studios, we have over 30 affiliate training centers in 5 countries.
