O:RIN

orin

O:RIN is a Pilates and GYROTONIC® studio in Hong Kong (Quarry Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui).

The idea behind our studio is to help clients achieve an overall sense of well-being through the benefit of Pilates and GYROTONIC® that gives your body an elegant posture in a friendly environment. Our team of certified instructors makes Pilates and GYROTONIC® a transformative and delightful experience for everyone.

We offer private training and group classes, where we offer a wide range of exercises highlighting the fluidity of movement. We employ the principles of Pilates and GYROTONIC® together, giving clients a strong mind-body connection. After every session, you will feel rejuvenated, relaxed, and more aware of your body movement.

From the architecture of the studio to the expertise of the trainers, it is our mission to give you an active mind and a healthier body. Regardless of your background, age, gender, or weight, we welcome you to experience O:RIN in a unique way.

O:RIN

A play on the word original – gently coaxes the body and mind back into their infant state of equilibrium and unfettered individuality.

about the
founder

O:RIN was founded by Karen Chen in 2019 to share the transformative benefits of Pilates and GYROTONIC®. Karen grew up in Vancouver and later returned to Hong Kong to complete her Master’s degree.

Karen was always accompanied by a tired body and chronic back pain while she was worked in the investment industry. To heal her weak immune system and gain relief from the constant pain, she turned to Pilates and GYROTONIC®. With Pilates and GYROTONIC®, she was able to strengthen her core, improve posture, and give her flexibility within her movement. This unique exercise paved the way for rebuilding her body, mind, and spirit.

Pilates and GYROTONIC®  soon become Karen’s passions and sanctuary from the bustling city life. She observed her health issues were a common problem in Hong Kong. Many individuals around her faced similar health problems with no permanent solution or cure. Determined to build a community around this soothing, mindful exercise, Karen opened the first postural correction studio and returned to the original body alignment. She helps people feel the deeper connection between their minds and bodies. By doing so, she wants them to recover from the build-up exhaustion and stress locked up in their bodies.

how does Pilates & GYROTONIC® make a difference in her life?

Through Pilates, Karen strengthened her core muscles and eased the pain in her muscles. The stretching and pulling involved within the exercise helped her alleviate back pain and assisted her in overcoming her posture-related issues.

GYROTONIC® boosted her range of motion, reduced joint stiffness, and improved blood circulation around her joints. This helps her fight arthritis. So, Pilates and GYROTONIC® was a life-changing element for Karen in more than one way.

Why do men do Pilates?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Over the past year we've been getting more male clients joining our classes and many join because they have injuries or even unbearable pain that they need help with. We really wanted to highlight the benefits of doing Pilates as a preventative measure because we know men tend to be more skeptical about trying Pilates than women. (Yes we know our studio is quite girly but we don't bite! 😜)​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Pilates helps to:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
- Build deep core strength and reduce muscular imbalances associated with aches and pains​​​​​​​​
- Build deep core strength to help with other exercises that you do at the gym or other workouts (we've seen people with toned abs who still struggle with pilates core work because they only work on the abs muscles on the surface!)​​​​​​​​
- Improve flexibility to prevent or help injuries​​​​​​​​
- Improve mobility and range of motion to help with other activities such as golf!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you're unsure if it's for you, drop us a DM with your questions and we can help to guide you in the right direction 😊️​​​​​​​​

We get a lot of questions asking what the difference between Pilates and Yoga is and why people should do Pilates.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Many think both are the same, and while there are many similarities, they are very different and can be very complementary.​​​​​​​​
Yoga is originally designed for mind and soul control, and Pilates is for rehabilitation and muscle balance. If your goal is to train your spirit you go Yoga, if posture correction and muscle balance, Pilates.
​​​​​
Imagine building a house, first you have to lay solid foundations. The things that you won't notice on the outside but overall make a huge difference to the stability and longevity of the house. That's the beauty of Pilates ❤️
