True Pilates

True Pilates is a small Altea studio for people who want classical Pilates, taught the way Joseph Pilates laid it out, rather than a gym class that borrows the name. It's run by Anna Rubau, a former classical dancer who trained in France and the US with teachers from the original lineage, and that background shapes the whole approach. Sessions are one-to-one or small group, built around a programme for you, and there are live online classes if you're not always in town. Anna also runs instructor training and the odd workshop, including one on posture. The website has sections on Pilates for pregnancy, sport and dance, and for people working alongside their physio after an injury. Reviewers mostly talk about Anna herself: experienced, attentive and patient, especially with people who've had back trouble and tried other things first. Testimonials come from Swiss, Belgian and Dutch clients, and some carry on online after they head home. Booking is through the form on the website, so get in touch before turning up on Calle Baja.
