About Joyce Ho

I have always been keen in movement of the human body. I took Ballet during my teens but there was no passion - more from parental pressure than my personal wants. Just before 2000, I took up Pilates as a form of exercise - to keep fit and supple, and then as I persisted, I grew from loving the exercise to developing a passion for the movement. I decided to dwell deeper into this fascinating body movement (Body Contrology) as Ron Fletcher calls it, and discovered it has so much more to offer.

The more I studied the movement, the more I learn about Pilates. It’s evolution and progress of the movement, the customization and studying of the Pilates movement - never boring or repetitive, always challenging the mind and body - fascinates me.

In 2004, I started my own Pilates studio at Margaret Drive, Queenstown. It was the beginning of a passion. It was a small studio with only 3 Reformers and a Cadillac. The place was small but it was fun and at the same time exciting - seeing my students grow in number and the studio seemingly getting smaller in size as the 500 square feet floor area shrinks with each addition of an equipment.

By 2005, the studio was too small to accommodate my activities.

This was the start of iPilates at Claymore Point in Claymore Hill. The bigger studio could accommodate larger classes and more equipment and above all, I was able to hold my Teacher’s training program ( The Ron Fletcher Program of Study ).

Through the years, I have evolved from a student into a teacher and now a Studio Owner.

I wish to bring the passion I have for Pilates and instil this (passion) into my students and teachers alike.

The joy of Pilates knows no boundaries indeed!
