Juan Luis Ruiz

Founder of Gen Pilates Studio in Santiago.

Juan Luis brings not only impeccable Classical lineage but also a warm-hearted, generous South American spirit that is felt the moment he enters the room. His teaching offers a rare combination of clarity, kindness, humour, and depth — inviting effort without strain and discipline without rigidity.

Lineage held with heart

Juan Luis stands firmly in the lineage of Joseph Pilates and Clara Pilates, and has continued his education with Kathryn Ross-Nash and Peter Fiasca.

What distinguishes him is how clearly lineage is observed in his teaching — in how he moves, speaks, times the work, and how the Method shows up in action, rhythm, choice, and presence.
