JAVIER PÉREZ PONT
Javier Pérez Pont had a successful career as a dancer for over 15 years, working as a soloist and principal dancer in several European companies.
In 1995, he encountered the Pilates Method. After receiving classes for over a year in the authentic method, he was so impressed with the results that he decided to enroll in the prestigious training program to become an instructor, studying under the legendary Romana Kryzanowska and her daughter Sari Mejía Santo in New York. After receiving his certification, he stayed on with them for over two additional years to learn more, teaching at the New York studio and assisting his maestras in presenting instructor training seminars internationally.
In late 1999, he decided to return to Spain, his home country, with Esperanza Aparicio Romero. They chose Barcelona to open the country’s first Pilates studio to teach the authentic method in its original form, with the blessing and support of their teachers.
In 2002, Romana Kryzanowska named them to lead the Independent Instructor Training Program in Spain, making their studio an official certification center. Since then, they have traveled all over the country and worldwide to introduce the original Pilates method, as well as appearing on television and radio programs.

In 2005, Esperanza Aparicio and Javier Pérez Pont wrote El Auténtico Método Pilates, El Arte del Control, the first book on the subject by Spanish authors, published by Editorial Planeta. It was a best-seller not only in Spain but also in all of Spanish-speaking America. The book describes how to perform the mat exercises correctly and safely in great detail. It has since been translated to Portuguese.
In 2013, they published a collection of seven e-books through Haka Books under the general title of “Contrology Pilates Physical Culture” covering the work using the apparatuses invented by Joe Pilates. Originally published in Spanish, it has been translated to both English and Portuguese.
In the same year, they also published the first biography ever written about the inventor of the method and the apparatuses. Hubertus Joseph Pilates. La Biografía marked a before and after in the body of knowledge about the creator of Contrology. An exhaustive work that debunks nearly all the myths about his work and life, it brings us the fascinating true story of Joe Pilates’s life. Originally published in Spanish, it has been translated to English and Italian.
Today, Javier Pérez Pont is a Level 1X instructor in the Romana’s Pilates International organization, in addition to being regional director for Spain, Portugal, and South and Central America. He continues to speak on Contrology at conferences and present workshops all over the world, with the mission of preserving the legacy of Romana Kryzanowska in its original form Romana’s Pilates International Independent Instructor Training Program.
