About Us

Hi, I’m Greta, a certified Pilates instructor and the founder of Pilates University 1883.

This brand began on the studio floor, inspired by a need for grip socks that could keep up with real movement. Every silhouette, fabric blend, and grip pattern starts in my own practice and is tested with my clients during daily reformer and mat sessions.

Before a pair joins our collection, it goes through hundreds of lunges, footwork reps, and plank variations, with stability, comfort, and confidence at the heart of every design.

Performance comes first, but style is never an afterthought. I curate our seasonal palettes with inspiration from runway and studio trends, bringing a little more intention and personality to your practice.

Our name honors 1883, the birth year of Joseph Pilates, connecting our modern designs to the roots of the movement we love. Every pair is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified, meaning it has been tested for harmful substances.

Thank you for making us part of your practice. See you on the reformer!

xx, Greta
