Specialties
Tone Pilates is Vancouver's first MOBILE Pilates studio. Tune your body at our False Creek location or have classes delivered to your office or home. We believe Pilates is the smartest, most versatile fitness system around and we want to share its many benefits with you.
We provide Classical Pilates instruction in the tradition of Romana Kryzanowska - the direct heir of Joseph Pilates' work - in the form of mat, chair, tower and reformer classes as private one-on-one lessons or group lessons for two to four people. The benefits of Pilates are many and can help you meet many fitness and wellness goals. Pilates has helped many people restore their physical vitality, build muscle strength and tone without putting on unsightly and unnecessary bulk, and develop core stability. Because Pilates is whole-body and low-impact, many people who practice improve their strength, flexibility, posture, stamina, and lung capacity, improve their mental control and understanding of their bodies, relieve stress, aches, and pains.
If your schedule doesn't make it possible for you to visit a traditional studio or take classes within someone else's time frame, we travel to you. We tailor our Pilates instruction to meet your specific needs and your individual fitness goals, work with you to ensure that you perform exercises properly and build a solid foundation in the Pilates method, and use it to change your life for the better.

Meet the Business Owner: Oliver G.
Tone Pilates' founder, Oliver Giving, was a Hatha yoga teacher for five years and a practitioner for 13. He experienced several health setbacks from running and weight lifting, and discovered Pilates as a way to move forward, heal, and grow. He studied Pilates for two years, then enrolled in the Advanced Teacher Training Program at Pilates from the Center in North Vancouver. While he was there, he logged 1200 hours of training and practice - 250 more than he needed to complete his 950 hour program - and worked under the guidance and supervision of Matilda Christensen, Veronica Mcclure and Katherine Denham.
