La pilates opens new women-only studio in Gotanda

La pilates, a women-only personal pilates studio brand established in 2023, has opened a new location in Gotanda, Tokyo. The studio utilizes a proprietary method that combines osteopathic manipulation (bone membrane osteopathy) with machine pilates to address core muscle strength and joint mobility.

Since its first location opened in Ebisu in October 2023, the brand has expanded significantly, reaching 108 directly managed and franchised locations across Japan as of August 2026. The Gotanda facility offers one-on-one instruction designed to improve posture, stabilize the core, and alleviate chronic physical discomfort such as shoulder and back tension.
