Our daughter introduced Darlene & I to Tone Pilates and absolutely loves the studio. We had no concept of what Pilates was but after going through the 8 week beginner sessions during which Oliver introduced us to all the various aspects , we were totally sold on Tone Pilates and have signed up for further sessions. Oliver & Brita move the classes along at a nice pace while paying a lot of attention to Form. We are always amazed at how quickly the time passes and how much better we have both felt as a result of the exercises.read more
I love Tone Pilates! Oliver is a great, encouraging instructor. Given the small class sizes, he can give each student the attention needed to perform the exercises to the best of their ability. I started with the Beginner Series, which laid down a great foundation to move onto the more difficult classes. I started pilates to increase my core strength and reduce back pain, and I feel a huge difference in just a few months of weekly classes! Coming to class at Tone Pilates is something I look forward to every week!read more
I would definitely recommend Oliver and Tone Pilates to everyone! I don't normally give reviews but Oliver and this studio are exceptional. I have taken classes at multiple community centres before but with Oliver is different. He is patient and always checks in during the session to make sure I have the correct posture and adjust the weights and springs if needed. The equipment and facilities are sanitized properly. If you are the kind of people who are searching for a personalized studio for pilates practice, Tone Pilates is the best place to go!read more
I started with beginners series couple months ago and have been going to tone pilates since then. Oliver is attentive instructor and notices details that helps to improve my movement in a small sized class. I like challenges in his program with different equipments. I can feel the difference after every class. I look forward to next session 🙂read more
I highly recommend Tone Pilates for anyone looking for technical classical pilates. The small classes are structured so each person can focus on form and receives individual attention. Quite the breath of fresh air comparing to other studios that pack you in. The easy access from the seawall and classes at a reasonable rates makes this studio even more desirable in the summer months. Thank you, Oliver!read more
Tone Pilates is awesome! Super supportive and engaging teaching that uses all the apparatus to keep things interesting! Lots of encouragement combined with challenging moves helped me find my abs again!read more
Tone Pilates is a refreshing change. All new clients are required to go through 8-weeks of training to ensure they learn and execute the exercises correctly, which means maximum benefits from the classes. And everyone - a max of 4 per class! - is at the same level. The attention to form and muscle engagement is super helpful, and for me means I'm less likely to re-injure myself. I do love that good exercise stiffness the next day and have already noticed a difference in my running form!read more
I was looking for good beginner Pilates classes and I stumbled upon Tone Pilates. I’m so glad that I did! Oliver is super nice and a great instructor. I would recommend this to everyone! 🙂
I can't recommend this place enough. I took the Beginner Series classes last Fall, and have since moved on to Rookie Classes. Oliver is a fantastic instructor, always paying close attention to form, which the small group setting especially allows for. As someone who also does a lot of strength training and cardio (mostly spin), Pilates has only proven to enhance my overall fitness, particularly where conditioning, flexibility, and posture are concerned. Also, beautiful location!read more
It took me awhile to find a Pilates studio in Vancouver that is not just rehab based. I came across Tone Pilates one day, and there is no going elsewhere. Oliver is an awesome instructor who runs his Pilates classes with a variety of equipment so it’s always challenging and fun. Love the small group classes and the personalised attention. I’m always learning different ways to strengthen my core and muscles that I’ve never thought existed.read more
Amazing place for a wonderful person inside. Arrived from Italy and chose this place to do some good Pilates during the stay. Best place in town to train!
Tone Pilates was recommended to me by my previous Pilates instructor (who I'd taken classes from for years, and who Oliver had trained under), and I've been very happy!Oliver is thorough and encouraging, with a focus on bettering the body through proper moving, rather than rushing the workout. He breaks down movements when needed, offering clear cues and advice. Classes are small in size, which allows Oliver to be mindful of each client while maintaining a good, fun flow. I hope more time slots open up so that I can book classes more frequently!Bonus: there are showers, water bottles, and hair elastics available if needed.read more
I think Tone Pilates is a great boutique Pilates studio! I used to go to larger Pilates classes and thought they were great, but Tone, with its small class sizes (max of 4) offers a much more personalized and satisfying Pilates training experience. Oliver (the instructor) pays close attention to little details such as how your spine articulates or your shoulders rise etc. I find all these subtle adjustments make a big difference to the exercises. Another aspect I really like is the rotation of Pilates equipment between matwork, reformer, tower and chair (It is not just reformer and/or matwork, which can get a bit stale). Every class uses a different piece of equipment, which means you get a better workout overall, as your body is trying something different every week. It also keeps it interesting and varied.Overall I really enjoy the friendly environment with knowledgeable instruction. I have found my core strength has greatly improved since I started and also notice the difference when I go for long runs (it’s amazing how many little muscles in your feet and legs that Pilates can help strengthen for runners!). Overall highly recommended!read more
I've taken some private classes at Tone Pilates and think it's a great studio. I took one star off my review because I think it's a bit small. I prefer lots of space to work out in. Other than that, these folks offer precise and personalized instruction. I have never been made to work so hard!read more
I love Tone Pilates for its personal approach and creative classes. Oliver is an excellent attentive teacher. I always look forward to my next session.
As a newcomer to pilates, Tone Pilates offered me a friendly and non-threatening environment to learn this great form of exercise. Oliver is a patient, clear, concise and skilled instructor working out of a great location and offering a variety of classes with convenient scheduling options. Thanks Tone Pilates!read more
I have without a doubt benefitted from attending Tone Pilates for over a year now, and this practice continues to be integrated into my weekly fitness routine. Oliver is an exceptional and informative instructor. I appreciate the smaller class size and hands-on attention/corrections he provides. I also appreciate the variety. Each class is different.The core awareness I have received from Tone Pilates supports my other fitness activities which has resulted in being stronger with better alignment.I've also appreciated getting to know the other participants in the classes who are dedicated to their practice too. We have a lot of laughs (and a lot of 100's!)read more
Oliver is an immensely thorough & knowledgable pilates instructor. I have practiced pilates on a reformer for over 10 years and I am thrilled to have discovered an instructor that offers an intense, challenging, beneficial & fun class. The location, equipment & facilities are wonderful as well!read more
Oliver is highly professional, masters his art and pays close attention to the needs of his clients. He checks on everyone regularly, in-person or via email, and listens to feedback carefully. I really enjoy his teaching method and his gentle push to go a little further beyond what I think I can do. Lastly, the location is just awesome. It feels good just to ride my bike to his classes.read more
As a professional contemporary dancer and yoga teacher, I have had the opportunity to study with some great movement teachers. Oliver is one of these teachers. He teaches from a deep understanding of Pilates in his own body. His special strength is being able to give me just the right image to work with. I always leave a session with Oliver with some new and transformative way to think about a particular element of my Pilates practice. I also leave having accomplished much more difficult movement than I thought was possible, and all without ever feeling pushed outside of my comfort zone.read more
I wasn't sure what to expect when I started doing Pilates with Oliver. I had a shoulder injury which was preventing me from going to the gym or even doing everyday household chores. A friend suggested Pilates and Oliver as my instructor. Within weeks I started to increase my mobility, and within a few short months I was back at 90%. Amazing! Oliver was kind, caring, understanding and patient, and helped me get back to a full life.read more
I am now a pilates convert thanks to Oliver. The classes are fun, challenging, and Oliver's concise exercise explanations and guidance really enhance the experience and ensure I am really getting everything out of every movement. I feel a dramatic difference in my inner core strength and overall life endurance. Thank You Tone Pilates!read more

Oliver is an expert. He knows what level of exercises that fit his students. He is very careful and patient in explaining how to use the equipment.

Oliver is a thoughtful and dedicated instructor who utilizes a wide variety of equipment to keep his classes interesting. He does his best to modify routines to suit all abilities and accommodate injury limitations. The prices at Tone Pilates are very reasonable for the area too!read more
Oliver is a very special and gifted teacher. David and I have been with Oliver since he opened Tone Pilates in Leg-in-Boot Square. He embodies what Pilates is all about and has a way of explaining the various exercises that makes sense both from a how-to and a why-to perspective. Mindful of our age and stage, Oliver opened a special class for Retirees - further evidence of his ability to teach to the needs of his clients. Sally and David Rehorickread more
