About Active Pilates
Movement is medicine. Precision is the method.
We believe the human body is designed to move — and when it can't, professional Pilates training can help you rediscover that pain-free, fluid, and powerful state of movement.

Our Story
Built to close the gap between fitness and rehabilitation.
Active Pilates was founded in 2019 in Richmond Hill, Toronto, as a boutique studio of approximately 300 sqm. Founder Bin Mou and two instructor partners formed the original team, focusing on promoting Pilates philosophy and teaching practice.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the team united, launched online and in-person programming, and broke CAD $1 million in revenue within 8 months — a remarkable achievement during economic downturn.
Today, with studios across Toronto, North York, Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, and internationally, we serve thousands of clients. Active Pilates has grown into one of Canada's leading clinical Pilates brands with over 100 instructors and staff, 40,000+ sqft of studio space, and 2,500+ monthly sessions.
