The Pilates Center (TPC), located in Boulder, Colorado, was established in 1990 by sisters Rachel Taylor Segel and Amy Taylor Alpers. Locally TPC is known as a leading woman-owned business offering premier Pilates instruction from beginner through the most advanced exercises. Internationally TPC is renowned for providing one of the most rigorous and robust Pilates teacher training programs available.

TPC is a large bright studio that offers both private and small group sessions on all the uniquely designed Pilates equipment including Mat, Reformer, Pole and Chair. Our Pilates is taught in a tradition that directly demonstrates the philosophy and methodology of "Return to Life" written by Joseph Pilates. In addition to Rachel and Amy, there are 7 other instructors representing a cumulative Pilates teaching experience of nearly 100 years.

In 1991, a Teacher Training Program (link to Teacher Training info page) was developed at TPC with the assistance of Romana Kryzanowska. The Program was labeled "The Harvard of Pilates Teacher Training Programs" in Pilates Style Magazine and is known for graduating comprehensively trained teachers who can teach and perform through the most advanced Pilates movements. Comprised of 950 hours, it is the most rigorous program available and currently has over 500 graduates from around the world. Today TPC offers 5 different Teacher Training Programs as well as a Winter Forum , Summer Conference and numerous workshops provided around the world.
