GYROTONIC® Method || Asheville Pilates, Pure Pilates Asheville, Fusion Pilates Asheville

The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is a modality of movement that encourages gentle yet effective movement, stimulating, stretching and strengthening muscles and tendons.  By utilizing a system of pulleys, counterweights and springs, GYROTONIC® machines provide constant and smooth resistance while guiding your body through the proper movement, and each exercise is optimized through corresponding breathing patterns.

The undulating, rhythmic exercises performed on GYROTONIC® machines offer many of the same benefits as yoga, swimming, some martial arts, dance and gymnastics, including enhanced aerobic, metabolic and cardiovascular function, increased coordination and endurance, and improved neuromuscular rejuvenation.


Developed in the early 1980’s in the United States by Hungarian dancer Juliu Horvath, the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® asserts itself more and more all around the world as a valid instrument to exalt physical excellence in all sport disciplines.  It is gaining increasing attention as one of the best techniques of physical rehabilitation directed towards one’s functional recovery as a means for re-establishing structural and functional well-being.

Welcome to Cisco Pilates

Thank you for visiting and for supporting a woman-owned, local business in Asheville! Cisco Pilates is one of the only Classical Pilates studios in Asheville, North Carolina. Pilates has been changed over many years and combined with other forms of exercise and ab workouts, but Classical Pilates stays true to Joseph Pilates’ original sequences and intentions.

Cisco Pilates is a small, cozy studio located in a private residence just North of Downtown Asheville, North Carolina, in the Five Points Neighborhood. If you’re looking for an intimate, relaxing, and non-competitive environment with birds chirping outside the window, Cisco Pilates is the place for you! Gyms and large studios aren’t for everyone. Cisco Pilates has capacity for up to two students, and specializes in private and duet classes on the reformer and other equipment, as well as mat classes in another private residence a block away.

What is Pilates?

Pilates is a form of exercise for everybody and every body-type. Using equipment with spring resistance, Pilates tones your body safely and effectively, focusing on mobilizing tight areas and stabilizing and strengthening weak areas. Mat work and mat classes are also a part of the practice. There are six Principles of Pilates: control, concentration, centering, breathing, precision, and rhythm/flow. The goal of Pilates is to have a completely balanced body of strength, flexibility, and control.

No gender, age or physical restrictions apply. Some people start at age 70, some at age 10 or younger. Try a duet with your child, friend, parent, or significant other. Try a private lesson to get the most out of your workout with one-on-one attention and complete privacy. Try a mat class for the fun and flow of it! Cisco Pilates also serves locally made organic CHOCOLATE at every mat class.

Who invented Pilates?

Joe Pilates was the genius behind the creation of what he called “Contrology” and is now called “Pilates”. Born in 1883 in Germany, Pilates was a boxer, gymnast, diver, and yogi, who trained injured soldiers as well as the German police force. He emigrated to the United States in 1926 and opened a Contrology studio in New York City with his wife Clara. After Pilates died in 1967, his work was carried on by his wife, as well as several of his students; the most well-known of whom was Romana Kryzanowska. Alexis Miller of Cisco Pilates is a third-generation teacher, certified by Master Teacher Dorothee VandeWalle, who trained with Romana.

Story behind Pilates

Developed by Joseph H. Pilates in the early 20th century, Pilates is a system of comprehensive, whole-body exercises that emphasize breath, concentration, center, control, precision and flow. Each of the more than 500 low impact, flowing movements that make up the Pilates tenet, promotes mental focus to achieve proper breathing, correct postural alignment and smooth execution of the exercise.  As a result, your body moves in safer and more efficient patterns of motion, experiencing a greater sense of balance, vitality and posture.

Welcome to Asheville Pilates

Asheville Pilates is a movement studio where individuals of all ages, body types and fitness levels can increase strength, flexibility, motion and tone, all while reducing stress and improving mental focus and clarity.  Our nurturing instructors foster mind-body awareness through individual and group sessions, including Pilates classes using mats or equipment, GYROTONIC® classes, GYROKINESIS® classes and reflexology treatment.

Many exercise programs and classes - including those using free weights and traditional gym equipment - encourage participants to push through workouts, placing great strain on muscles, joints and the rest of the body.  This often leads to pain, stiffness and other negative side effects. But at Asheville Pilates, the focus is on smooth, controlled movement and breathing.  The result is a workout that's less stressful on - but highly beneficial to - both body and mind.

Isn't it time your body and mind reached their full potential?  Contact Asheville Pilates and schedule your visit to our custom-designed studio.
