Ness Pilates: A New Frontier in Hirakata’s Health Scene

Ness Pilates, a personal training studio that expertly merges chiropractic care with machine Pilates, is gearing up to launch its fourth location in Hirakata city, scheduled for a grand opening on February 1, 2026. Founded by Ryotaro Ishida, Ness Pilates celebrates a year of success with over 300 members and an impressive retention rate of 96%.

A Strategic Move to Hirakata

Hirakata was chosen as the latest location due to its ongoing urban redevelopment and its vibrant community that comprises health-conscious individuals, from families to business professionals. With its proximity to the original Takatsuki studio, the new Hirakata studio aims to deepen community ties and provide localized services.

The Unique Services at Hirakata Studio

At the Hirakata studio, the focus will be on delivering personalized training tailored to each individual's needs using top-tier equipment.

1. High-Quality Pilates Equipment

Ness Pilates will feature five different types of Pilates machines - the Reformer, Tower, Cadillac, Chair, and Ladder Barrel - facilitating over 800 different exercises. This comprehensive setup allows for nuanced adjustments in resistance and movement assistance, significantly benefiting users whether they're beginners or seasoned athletes.

2. Chiropractic for Optimal Performance

One hallmark of Ness Pilates is the integration of chiropractic sessions within Pilates workouts. This approach is rooted in enhancing the body’s mobility and preparing it for efficient movement, thus ensuring the benefits of each Pilates session are fully realized.

3. Innovative Conditioning Tools

The studio will incorporate various modern training tools, such as the Naboso Ball to stimulate the feet and activate the brain, and water bags to train the inner muscles, providing a holistic training experience that directly relates to daily life and sports activities.

The Groundbreaking ‘Body Mapping’ Method

Ness Pilates offers more than just physical workouts; it focuses on fundamentally reshaping the body's internal representations with their unique ‘Body Mapping’ approach. This entails retraining the brain’s perception of body mechanics, ensuring movements are executed with precision and effectiveness.

4. Reviving Proprioception

By harnessing the resistance provided by machines, the training helps reawaken dormant sensors in the muscles and joints that communicate their position to the brain, ultimately leading to better body awareness.

5. Mindful Movement

Each session emphasizes concentration and mindful movement, which helps in establishing new neural pathways in the brain exercised during the workout.

6. Feedback from Equipment

The machines themselves offer tangible feedback, serving as a physical guide to adjust and correct the body’s position, enhancing the learning experience.

Commitment to Quality Training

Ness Pilates places a premium on instructor expertise, ensuring all trainers possess extensive academic backgrounds in anatomy and physiology. Monthly training sessions maintain high teaching standards supported by a solid commitment to one-on-one attention for each member.

The Philosophy Behind Ness Pilates

Founded on the belief that traditional therapies treat symptoms rather than addressing the core of physical ailments, Ishida aims to lead clients from negative to positive body alignment through Pilates. This innovative blend of chiropractic and Pilates ensures clients not only recover from injuries but also build resilience against future ailments.

The Future of Ness Pilates

With plans to expand to 20 locations by the end of 2026, this Hirakata studio marks an essential step in Ness Pilates' growth strategy. By enabling more individuals to make time for their health and wellness, the studio aims to contribute to the overall longevity of the community’s well-being.
