Authentic Pilates
8 Pilates is Kuala Lumpur’s first Authentic Pilates studio.
Why Authentic?
He created it. We teach it.
This is the true form of Pilates as created by Joseph Pilates himself. He passed it on to his protege Romana Kryzanowska, who taught Cynthia Lochard who taught Sophia Oh. Sophia is now back here in Kuala Lumpur, providing one-to-one lessons and group classes.
From her home studio in Bangsar, you will discover how Pilates can move your body in a new, controlled way. It strengthens your core, improves your posture and corrects your aches and pains.
Your Instructor
Sophia Oh
Trained overseas and certified to the highest international standard, Sophia can draw upon the entire Pilates method of hundreds of exercises to meet your specific exercise goals.
With over 1,200 hours training, continuing annual training and 11 years international teaching experience in Sydney, Oxford, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Sophia has helped countless people change their bodies for the better.
Whether it be strengthening, increasing flexibility, control, balance, posture, rehabilitating an injury or optimising the efficiency of a professional athlete, Sophia will tailor you a program targeted to your needs.
Joseph designed this system for the benefit of everyone. We are here to pass it down through the generations.
Testimonials

Work-out in this peaceful Bangsar neighbourhood.
Plenty of parking right outside.
Gratz
Learn faster and go deeper
At 8 Pilates, you’ll be using Gratz machines – the original Pilates apparatus since 1929, endorsed by Joseph Pilates himself. Each machine allows Sophia to teach you exercises which strengthen, stretch and train your body for what it was designed to do.
Joseph deliberately designed exercises with and without machines:
- Machines enable you to do exercise and stretches you couldn’t otherwise do – they help you feel exactly how to move your body and permit exercises you could not otherwise do.
- Mat exercises can be done at home, in the park or anywhere else outside the studio.
Why do Pilates?
We asked 30 clients what Pilates does for them. This is what they said:

Mat exercises are an important part of the Pilates method. Joseph created the exercises to get real results from both mat and machine. You don’t need both but ideally you would combine them for maximum results.
