The name 'Pilates O Ka La' was given to the studio because what makes Pilates and our training method unique is that it focuses on strengthening and moving from your core - your abdominal muscles. With our background in personal training, Pilates, and yoga, we incorporate all the disciplines in our method of teaching. Yoga discusses the importance of your chakras, and your abs are located in your 3rd chakra, which is represented as a yellow sphere, the sun, and light. Thus, O Ka La, ‘of the sun’ in Hawaiian, was realized.

In the wake of our nation's healthcare crisis, obesity epidemic, aging population, and decline in nutrition, creating and nurturing health, fitness and wellness are the answer for our future. Pilates O Ka La was created to fuel this purpose. We believe we can make a difference by teaching proper fitness technique and whole body wellness - one mind, body, and soul at a time.

We’re revolutionizing the way Hawaii stays fit and balanced. We create the perfect melange of intelligent fitness and Kama'aina culture. Come workout and see for yourself!
