ABOUT ESSENTIAL MOVEMENT®

essential movement​^® llc was established in 2002. Since then, it’s become a leading studio for Pilates in Bergen County, dedicated to the authentic exercises of Joseph Pilates. The teaching is based on the acclaimed training of Romana Kryznowska (aka “Romana’s Pilates”), and the studio is fully equipped with top-of-the-line Gratz equipment.

The studio is in a private, quiet setting with abundant natural light and a spa-like atmosphere. ​​

In 2021, the curriculum expanded, offering Private and Group lessons in both GYROTONICS^®  and the GYROKINESIS^® method.  These groundbreaking workouts address the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences.

It’s an original and unique method that coordinates movement, breath, and mental focus.

What makes essential movement​^® llc unique is the teaching approach.  Your needs are always the priority, whether it’s schedule flexibility or an exercise modification. The goal is to make you comfortable and confident in every session. It’s not just what you do in a Pilates or a GYROKINESIS^® session that’s important, but how you do it. The structure of the workout is key, but it’s more important that you experience and understand the goals and leave feeling better than you did!

Pilates or the GYROKINESIS^®method can benefit everyone. Athletic people improve performance in many different endeavors: golf, tennis, running, softball, dance, skating, and more.

Some clients come to essential movement^® to improve everyday “issues” such as knee pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, scoliosis, sciatica, herniated discs, post-surgical recovery, pregnancy support, joint replacement, breast cancer recovery, MS, or Parkinson’s Disease.

You’re invited to try any of our offerings, Privates, Mat Classes, GYROTONICS^® and the GYROKINESIS^®  method to experience the personal and unique atmosphere of essential movement​^®
