Zip Pilates Studio

Located in Gdynia, Poland, Zip Pilates Studio was founded from a deep passion for Joseph Pilates’ original method and the apparatus he designed.

The studio offers an authentic Classical Pilates experience in a welcoming, supportive environment where clients can improve their movement, deepen their understanding of the method, and develop a stronger connection between body and mind.

The studio is fully equipped with professional Gratz apparatus. This comprehensive collection allows clients to experience the Pilates method across the full range of classical apparatus and receive instruction tailored to their individual needs, abilities, and goals.

Zip Pilates Studio serves a diverse community, including beginners, experienced practitioners, athletes, younger adults, older adults, and individuals seeking to improve their posture, mobility, strength, coordination, and overall body awareness. Every client is welcomed with an individualized approach grounded in professionalism, attentiveness, empathy, and encouragement.

Beyond individual and group instruction, Zip Pilates Studio is committed to preserving and expanding knowledge of the Pilates method through education and international exchange. The studio organizes a 500-hour Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training Program led by Lolita San Miguel, a direct student of Joseph Pilates and a First Generation Pilates Master Teacher. It also hosts workshops, training camps, and conferences featuring internationally recognized Pilates educators.

Through these initiatives, Zip Pilates Studio creates opportunities for instructors in Poland and throughout Europe to deepen their knowledge, strengthen their teaching skills, and learn from educators dedicated to carrying forward the principles and legacy of the original Pilates tradition.

Tania Kantor is the founder of Zip Pilates Studio in Gdynia, which she opened in 2020 after many years of studying and teaching Pilates.

Her Pilates journey began following a spinal injury and an extended period of pain and treatment. After exploring various physiotherapy approaches in an effort to move freely and comfortably again, she discovered Pilates. The improvements she experienced in her physical function, body awareness, and overall well-being inspired her to make the method an integral part of her life and career. Contact Zip Pilates here.
