Therapilatics — private classical Pilates in Melbourne, Florida. One room, one client, every session.
Private Pilates built around your body — for people who go to the gym, stay active, and still have a back, neck, or hip that will not resolve.
No shared space. No group cueing. No one else's music. The room is private, the work is specific to you, and no two sessions are the same.
You Might Be Here Because
You are active and fit, but something in your back, neck, or hip has not been right in months.
Physical therapy helped, then plateaued, and you are not all the way back to yourself.
You have been told to stay active, but the gym and group classes seem to make it worse.
You are managing a diagnosis and want someone who works with you one-on-one, not a room full of people.
You want to protect your golf or tennis game, not give it up because of your back.
You want to stay strong, mobile, and independent for decades — and you want to do it right.
The work adapts — to injury, to recovery, to a golf swing, to age.
It's a workout.
It's a class of one.
It's a corrective way of moving.
You are probably already active. You go to the gym. You are not deconditioned. But you have a back problem, a neck problem, a hip that has not been right since the surgery two years ago — and the workouts you are doing are not fixing it, and may be making it worse.
What you have not tried is work calibrated to your specific body, in a private room, with an instructor who came from engineering and looks at movement the way an engineer looks at a structural problem.
About Laini →Movement First
I do not teach everyone the same workout. I assess how you move, identify what is limiting you, and build the work around your goals — walking farther, returning to your sport, reducing pain, or getting up from the floor with confidence.
You are not buying a class. You are buying thoughtful, individualized movement work — from someone trained to the highest level of the classical method, on the original apparatus, with no one else in the room.
In Their Words
"The exercises are aimed to correct body weaknesses by gradually pushing you out of your comfort zone to strengthen specific muscles — not easy at times, but our instructor Laini is always full of positive energy and encouragement. My husband feels that his neck's range of motion has improved and we are developing body awareness."
"Laini is absolutely amazing! This was my first time doing Pilates and can't wait for my next session. Her instructions guided me and her positivity was uplifting. A very comfortable environment that delivers privacy and inspires confidence."
"I am new to Pilates and the instructor took me through a revitalizing session. Many things were harder than I expected, but the instructor talked me through it. Can't wait to do it again!"
"My lower back had been painful and after workout my back felt so much better and the next day was pain free."
"I do Pilates twice a week and those two rounds that I play after Pilates are my lowest scores of the week."
"I've definitely become stronger because of Pilates. My golf ball is certainly going further since I started."
"My SI joints are greatly improved from my previous xray. I didn't realize how much I needed that stability and how it all connects. Thank you so much for teaching me how to listen to my body."

Details →The Apparatus
Gratz Cadillac
The most versatile piece in classical Pilates. Allows full work when you cannot yet access the Reformer or mat — including post-surgical, severely deconditioned, or acute pain presentations.
Gratz Reformer
Built to original specifications by Gratz Industries — the manufacturer Joseph Pilates worked with directly.
Gratz Pedi-Pole
Spinal alignment, postural feedback, and decompression work. Rarely found outside specialist classical studios.
Ladder Barrel
Spinal extension, lateral flexion, and hip work. Addresses restrictions from sitting, surgery, or chronic tension.
Gratz High Chair
Seated and standing work in a small footprint. Builds the strength that transfers directly to getting out of a chair, climbing stairs, and staying upright.
