Small classes.  Experienced Teachers.
We have trained over 1,000 Pilates and GYROTONIC® teachers at Boston BodyWorks Studios.  Our teacher training courses feature small groups with lots of personalized instruction and followup.

Boston BodyWorks Studios™ is the New England teacher training studio for POWER PILATES® and a teacher training studio for GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS®.  We are one of the few fully equipped Pilates and GYROTONIC® studios in the United States, which means you can train on all the equipment for both exercise systems in one place.

We are the home studio of Master Trainer Kathy Van Patten.
