Welcome to Somos
Somos Pilates KC is a small, private Classical Pilates studio in Kansas City, Kansas, just minutes from KU Medical Center. Here, you’ll learn the complete method Joseph Pilates created, taught with care and adapted to your body.
Somos is intentionally small, designed for individual attention and thoughtful teaching. The studio has multiple pieces of Classical equipment, made to Joseph Pilates’ original specifications, so your practice is never limited to just one machine. Whether you’re completely new to Pilates or have practiced for years, this is a place to learn the method, understand your body, get stronger and keep progressing.
Somos is by appointment only, so every visit is quiet, calm and focused on you. Before each session, we’ll email you a personal door code, and you can walk right in.
Different bodies. Different backgrounds. Different starting points.
You belong here.
Why “Somos”
“Somos” means “we are” in Spanish. It’s a name that captures what this studio is meant to be.
Pilates was never meant to belong to one type of person or body. It’s a powerful tool for moving through life with more strength and ease. Somos exists to bring it to as many people as possible, meeting each of them exactly where they are.
Pilates is an individual practice, but there is something meaningful about learning, moving and growing as a community, right here in Kansas City.
We are different bodies. We are different backgrounds. We are different starting points.
We are Somos.
Rooted in Kansas City, Kansas
Somos founder Margarita Amezola first came to Kansas City from St. Louis on a travel nursing assignment. She fell in love with the area and decided to stay. Somos is her way of building something lasting in the community that became her home.
The building has deep roots here too. Around 1930, it was the Gerner-Cessna Motor Co., a DeSoto and Plymouth car dealership on Southwest Boulevard in the old town of Rosedale. Look closely at the front and you can still see the original stonework from that era. Inside, the old brick and wood beams remain overhead, and light pours in through the glass block windows onto the fjord blue equipment. A full wall of mirrors lets your instructor see you from the front and back at the same time, so nothing gets missed and every cue is more precise.
Somos is locally owned, woman-owned and Latina-owned. When you practice here, you’re supporting a small business built by someone who chose this community, for this community.
We’re proud to be in KCK, close to KU Med and the people who keep this community healthy. And to the nurses and healthcare workers out there: from one nurse to another, email us at margarita@somospilateskc.com to hear about our special offers.
Come as you are. Learn the method. Discover what your body can do.
