Introduction
The Pilates Works is one of the most prominent studios in Singapore, and the love-child of Collin Low, who is the Protégé of Pilates Master Teacher Alvin Giam (1955-2015). Master Alvin single-handedly started the pilates movement in Singapore and was also a great influencing teacher in Asia. His Pilates Bodyworks was the first pilates studio in Singapore. The late Master Alvin studied with Joseph Pilates's students Pilates elders Mary Bowen and Ron Fletcher as well as the 1st and 2nd generation students of Pilates elders Eve Gentry, Diane Miller, Michele Larsson and Pat Guyton.
Collin was schooled and groomed under the careful tutorship of Master Alvin for close to a decade, and ran the Bodyworks almost as long as it has been there with Alvin. Post Alvin's passing, Collin transited and continued Alvin's legacy under The Pilates Works.
The Pilates Works provides Pilates Teachers Training Program from Core Dynamics, a high-quality boutique-style, individualised training program based out of USA.
