“I founded core reform, core barre etc. They are hybrids, with principals based on Pilates. Functional training based on Pilates. We use a contemporary Pilates equipment. For core barre we use the ballet barre with techniques that are anatomically based. These classes are taught all over the world now. I certified all the master trainers to teach this class.”
As a pioneer in the Pilates world Ole has greatly affected the lives of many trainers and clients. He found his passion and threw himself into it completely. As an active soul, he has always been athletic and in love with movement.
“As an exercise it focuses on the deep stabilising muscles of the torso, hips, and shoulder girdle and helps develop long, lean, functionally strong muscles without bulk. This can improve your flexibility, strength and mobility, restoring balance to your body. These deep muscles help change and improve your posture and enable you to move with ease and feel more energetic.”
