“Working with Ken has improved my overall health, posture, and awareness of my body! The space has amazing equipment and is very clean. I have lupus and have experienced a decrease in pain, more flexibility, and better gait as I have continued to work with Ken. He makes me feel comfortable and safe. I’m definitely a long-term client and can’t imagine going anywhere else.”


“Ken Heizman is a terrific Pilates instructor who teaches Pilates in the traditional Joe Pilates method. His equipment is the most complete and best that I have seen.  Ken is excellent at ensuring that exercises are matched to his students’ abilities and done with the proper form. My sessions with him have made a big difference for me physically and I look forward to everyone.”

“Original Method Pilates is exactly what the name says, original method pilates. Ken Heizman, the owner is one of the few pilates teachers who not only studied the original method, as Joseph Pilates meant it to be , but teaches the method with integrity and an attention to detail that is very rare today.
Ken has a calm and easy style of teaching. Don’t be fooled by that. He is a very tough teacher. I have been a serious student of pilates for almost 30 years, and when I met Ken a few things became clear to me. He is a great teacher, and I had a lot of work to do if I was going to be allowed to practice the pilates exercises I was accustomed to doing in other studios, with Ken. I was willing to start at square one because it became evident very quickly that he was the real thing. The years of serious work he has put into becoming a pilates teacher are obvious in everything he does. He has the ability to see the smallest corrections, which make the biggest changes.
I highly recommend Ken and Original method pilates to anyone who is thinking about trying pilates and those of us who already love the method will enjoy having the experience of learning the original method of pilates, as Romana and Joe would teach it today.”


“I have been a student of Ken Heizman at Original Method Pilates for almost three years. I feel longer and stronger than ever! I can always tell the difference in my body if I miss sessions because of being out of town. Ken has several certifications and is the most knowledgeable teacher I have had the pleasure of working with. Wonderful studio to practice Pilates.”
