KOS PILATES Opens Its Doors in Fukuoka
Fukuoka's largest Pilates studio,
KOS PILATES, has officially opened in the Hirano area, promising a unique atmosphere where comfort meets wellness. Located just a two-minute walk from Nishitetsu Hirano Station, this new studio is the brainchild of
mare Inc., led by president
Kaimana Kojima. Set to make waves in the fitness community, KOS PILATES invites people to indulge in the art of Pilates in an environment designed to enhance both body and mind.
The Concept of 'Space'
KOS PILATES is built around the concept of "Yohaku" or 'Space.' The intention is to provide a sanctuary that allows individuals to pause and reflect on their physical and mental well-being. The studio features:

Remarks from the Founder
Kaimana Kojima emphasizes the significance of prioritizing individual well-being over societal pressures in today’s fast-paced world. “In this age where social comparisons can create anxiety, we want to offer a space where women can focus on themselves first,” says Kojima.
