Who is Incore Pilates?

Incore Pilates was founded by Anja Hummel and started in Berlin in 2005 and in Copenhagen in 2009. In 2025, Anja entered a collaboration with like-minded Pilates studios to strengthen the national and international Pilates community.

Incore Pilates offers daily training as well as upcoming workshops and retreats for individuals and organizations.

Incore Pilates strives to integrate the Pilates method into people’s lives. This purpose stems from the belief that a healthy balanced body strengthens our mental health and uplifts our mind and spirit.

Incore Pilates is also an appreciation and cultivation of Joseph Pilates’ philosophy and concept, applied using his unique and complete training method “The Pilates Method of Body Conditioning”, originally “Contrology”.

The overall purpose of this method is to immerse oneself through physical practice to create change physically and mentally and hereby improve the quality of life and live a life in balance. Thus, the method extends beyond training and into our everyday lives.

What is classical Pilates

The original classical Pilates method is practiced with concentration, depth and purpose on Joseph Pilates’ many different unique machines/apparatuses. Pilates training in this spirit is practiced through Joseph Pilates’ own systematically organized exercises and movement sequences in carefully thought-out progression via a certified instructor.

Pilates training on the various machines/apparatus developed by Joseph Pilates both challenges and supports the entire body in alternating lying, sitting and standing exercises. The entire body is exercised simultaneously, with balance and holistically. You will get the full benefit of the Pilates method and achieve better body awareness, freedom and range of movement, strength and significant results effectively. Private lessons are also recommended if you are in rehabilitation. 

Semi- private / Duet Pilates

The training is with 2 participants who want to train together and still have an individual focus. The training consists of exercises on the mat and on classical Pilates machines such as Reformer, Towers, Cadillac, Chairs and Barrels. The exercises are systematically structured according to the classical Pilates method and train the body holistically with strength, mobility and flexibility.

"After moving to Copenhagen in 2009, I searched around extensively for a Pilates studio for a long time. I had years of experience from San Diego, Los Angeles and Memphis. I was truly fortunate to discover Anja Hummel´s studio Incore Pilates and had the priviledge to work with her as my instructor for more than 10 years now. Anja took my experience with Pilates to a whole new level. Her professionalism is unsurpassed. She is there for you every step of the way, pays incredible attention to every detail of your posture and technique and she is immensely knowledgeable. She possesses a rare combination of warmth and strength that makes every minute spend training with her both serene and challenging at the same time."
Magdalena, Associate Professor, KU
"When I started at Incore Pilates, my stomach muscles were very weak after three abdominal surgeries. I never went anywhere without a hernia support belt and I was afraid that any strain could trigger another hernia. After only 6 months of training, I no longer use a hernia support belt. Both my stomach and back muscles are stronger and I have a much better posture. Anja is a very attentive, professional and friendly teacher. Every time I train at Incore Pilates, she has a well prepared program that fits into the course. I feel that I am seen and heard and that my boundaries are respected."
Gretty Mirdal.Dr.Phil. Former Professor of Health Psychology
"I was very fortunate to find Anja`s studio Incore Pilates, when I relocated to Copenhagen for a 2-month period, and I took private classes for the first time in years. I felt a fast improvement, and that the calm but very intense sessions also made my mind conpletely focus on the body and the movements, which cleared the mind, almost like an active meditation."

"Just think, I have a muscle there too! This is what I often remark after training, because Anja Hummel actually knows my body better than I do myself. Pilates has become essential for my physical well- being. I simply feel better when my body is given attention from an expert."
