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.

Testimonials
Since starting Pilates with Sophia in the Sydney studio, it became part of my everyday life. Sophia is a very caring teacher and took note of my ability level and health issues to make sure I got the most out of the classes. I still hear Sophia's voice in my head reminding me of the core principles of the exercises.
— Denise Lacey, Sydney, Australia —
I was 44, overweight and unhappy with my body. No exercise had helped me - the gym, running, swimming, cycling. My doctor told me to try Pilates to help fix my back pain, which is how I met Sophia and it literally changed my life forever. Pilates fixed my body and I feel amazing.
— Dennis Carter, Oxford, UK —
I loved Sophia's Pilates classes in Oxford and miss them terribly! Sophia was excellent at motivating us to improve our ability whilst being careful to ensure we were moving correctly in a healthy way. After each class I felt I'd had a very good workout for my mind and body and it renewed my energy levels.

The Studio
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.
