ABOUT US
POWERHOUSE PILATES is a licensed Pilates studio in the Philippines, steadily establishing itself among the country’s leading Pilates studios. As an official member of OptionsStudio Philippines’ expanding network of branches and affiliates, we work in direct partnership with Pilates Master Trainer Ole Eugenio, widely recognized as one of Asia’s foremost Pilates instructors.
​
Built on the mission of preserving and sharing the original and authentic methods of Joseph Pilates, Powerhouse Pilates offers a practice distinct from contemporary, trend-driven approaches seen in many studios today. We are the first Pilates studio in Nuvali, Laguna, and have since expanded with the opening of Powerhouse Pilates Greenhills, located at The Cornerhouse in Greenhills, San Juan—strengthening our presence both south of Metro Manila and within the city.
​
Both studios are equipped with industry-leading Classical Pilates apparatus, carefully selected to prioritize safety, comfort, and precision in every session. We welcome individuals of all ages and backgrounds, embracing diversity while guiding each client with thoughtful, personalized instruction.
​
At the heart of Powerhouse Pilates is a team of highly trained and dedicated instructors, committed to supporting long-term physical fitness, holistic well-being, and a better quality of life. Through intelligently designed, personalized Pilates programs, we help clients move past limitations, build strength with intention, and achieve meaningful, lasting results.
OUR STORY
Established in 2023, POWERHOUSE PILATES began with a strong ambition to transform the exclusivity of Pilates into an all-inclusive form of exercise for the benefit of all. Driven by years of personal practice and lived experience, the studio’s owner and founder, Ms. Alex Roces-Nuyda, began her Pilates journey just like everyone else—as a client.
​
“Ever since I started practicing Pilates in my teen years, I’ve always believed that it is an exercise that would benefit individuals from all walks of life. I realized then that I wanted to share how amazing Pilates is for the body, the mind, and the soul.”
​
From this belief, her passion for Pilates grew into a deeper commitment. She discovered that Pilates, when practiced correctly, is a low-impact yet powerful method that emphasizes internal strength, control, and awareness—going beyond ordinary exercise.
​
“Pilates helped me become more aware of my posture and allowed me to correct it continuously. It supported me through three pregnancies and my post-birth recovery. Despite the changes in my body, I still felt strong and graceful.”
​
Pilates proved to be truly inclusive—suitable for children, pregnant women, PWDs, seniors, and athletes alike. As Ms. Nuyda often shares, “Pilates can be gentle and safe for kids and the kids-at-heart, yet still be deeply challenging even for the strongest athletes.”
As Powerhouse Pilates grew, the studio strengthened its foundations through direct partnership and mentorship with Ole Eugenio, one of Asia’s leading Pilates Master Trainers and the founder of OptionsStudio Philippines. This collaboration ensures that Powerhouse Pilates remains grounded in the authentic Classical Pilates method developed by Joseph Pilates, guided by structured progression, precision, and teaching integrity.
​
In March 2024, POWERHOUSE PILATES expanded with the opening of its second branch, Powerhouse Pilates Greenhills, located inside The Cornerhouse, Greenhills San Juan. This branch continues the studio’s commitment to Classical Pilates while expanding into recovery-focused services such as Myotherapy, supporting a more holistic approach to movement and well-being.
​
Powerhouse Pilates Greenhills is also an Authorized Training Center for Smart Movement Academy International, where aspiring Pilates instructors are trained under structured, classical-based education standards.

WHAT IS PILATES
Pilates is a mindful movement practice that focuses on building strength, control, flexibility, and alignment through intentional, low-impact exercise. Rooted in the original method developed by Joseph Pilates, it emphasizes core stability, proper breathing, and precise movement to support the body as a whole.
​
Rather than relying on force or speed, Pilates trains the body to move efficiently and with awareness. Each exercise is thoughtfully sequenced to improve posture, enhance mobility, and develop balanced strength—helping you move better not only in the studio, but in everyday life.
​
Suitable for all ages and abilities, Pilates can be adapted to support beginners, athletes, individuals recovering from injury, and those simply seeking a more sustainable approach to fitness. When practiced consistently and guided with care, Pilates becomes more than a workout—it becomes a foundation for long-term strength, confidence, and well-being.
