Hey!
Alright fam — it’s time to wrap up our Pilates Project 2025… or so we thought. We had one final slot left on our “Top 5 Pilates Studios in Poznań” list, and instead of just picking another trendy spot with neon lights and avocado smoothies, we figured — why not go old school? Like real old school.
Did you know there are two worlds out there? The flashy “new wave” Pilates with influencer playlists and sculpted leggings — and then the classic kind, the OG Contrology, the deep, mindful stuff that actually kicks your core into gear and rewires your spine. We’re kinda old souls at heart, so we went hunting for the real deal.
After the usual journalistic deep dive — aka stalking every Pilates hashtag, lurking on Insta, and asking around like we were investigating a crime — one name kept popping up: Pilates Flow. So we hit up Ania and Ola, the founders, to get the lowdown.
Meet Ania & Ola — The Dynamic Duo of Flow
We found out that two women who couldn’t be more different, somehow met through Pilates and decided to create a studio together.
Ania spent 15 years knee-deep in the financial jungle — charts, stress, deadlines, probably more coffee than sleep. Then one day, she hit the mat, took a breath, and realized her body needed a break from the stock market chaos. Pilates became her reset button — a place to balance numbers with namaste.
Ola, on the other hand, has been doing sports since most of us were still trying to climb monkey bars. Mountains, swimming, skiing — you name it. While living in Singapore, she stumbled upon Pilates and had that “this is it” moment. Fast forward a few years, and now she’s bringing that global glow and calm energy back to Poznań.
Their paths crossed in a Classical Pilates training program with Weronika Ratkowska at Pilatesroom, and boom — PILATES FLOW was born in October 2025. Since then, they’ve been running this serene yet sweaty corner of Grunwald, teaching people that your body isn’t a problem to fix — it’s a home to take care of. (And yes, that’s their actual motto.)
What’s the Flow About?
Pilates Flow teaches Classical Pilates — the kind invented by Josef Pilates himself before influencers discovered leggings with pockets. It’s all about control, precision, breath, and that sweet body-mind sync. No trends. No fluff. Just movement that makes you feel alive (and occasionally very aware of your abs).
They tell us that every class here is about you: your posture, your breath, your energy. Age, size, flexibility? Doesn’t matter. They’ll meet you exactly where you are — and probably make you realize your spine hasn’t moved properly since 2019.
What’s Next?
We’re rolling up (literally) real soon to test some of those classic moves ourselves — and to see if we survive “The Hundred” without looking like a wet noodle. We’ll also be dropping an iterview and sitting down with Ania & Ola for a chat — unless we’re too sore to sit, in which case they might just have to talk at us.
Until then, if you’re a Grunwald local looking to level up your body awareness — or just find your flow (pun 100% intended) — go check them out:
