Our Story

At Lilates, everything started with a simple idea: real people deserve real solutions.

Our founder, Lila, began her journey in her 20s as a personal trainer, always looking for ways to help others move and feel better. After exploring different workouts like yoga and strength training, a trip to Hong Kong in 2007 changed everything.

There, she discovered different types of Pilates — Barre, Stott, Reformer, Clinical — and realized how each style could help solve specific body needs. This sparked her passion to study body anatomy more deeply, understanding that no two people move the same.

She brought this vision back home to Semarang, Java — and Lilates was born. A space where every move is personal, every story matters, and healing happens from the inside out.

From one studio to now six across Indonesia, Lilates continues to grow with the same mission: to help real people move better, feel stronger, and live more confidently.

 

The Lilates Philosophy

At Lilates, we believe true wellness goes beyond how you look — it’s about how you feel and how you move through life.

We focus on realistic, sustainable progress — not quick fixes or unattainable standards.
Every session follows a posture-first approach, building a healthy foundation that supports your body for the long run.

No two bodies are the same, and neither should their Pilates journey be. Whether you’re healing from an injury, managing scoliosis, expecting a child, or just starting out, our programs are built just for you.

Lilates is a space for everyone — women, kids, beginners, and anyone seeking real, lasting change.
We don’t want you to rely on us forever.
We want to help you become more self-aware, stronger, and able to heal from within.

It’s not about money — it’s about trust.
Give yourself a chance to experience it. You’ll feel the difference
