Management and Leadership
Adopt Environmental Policy Statement
Description of Action: 
At Ken Pilates, we are committed to promoting a healthy lifestyle for both our clients and our planet. As a leader in the Pilates and group fitness industry, we understand the importance of sustainability and strive to minimize our environmental impact through mindful practices. We regularly review and refine our operations to reduce waste and promote eco-friendly alternatives. For instance, we have eliminated single-use cleaning wipes in favor of reusable towels and eco-friendly cleaners. Our dedication to environmentalism extends beyond our studio walls. We actively participate in Earth Day events and environmental festivals, fostering a sense of community and awareness about the importance of protecting our planet. By integrating sustainability into our everyday practices, we aim to inspire our clients to join us in creating a healthier, greener world.
Aspirational Goals
Description of Action: 
In our aspirational goals, Ken Pilates aims to further enhance our sustainability efforts by sourcing merchandise and equipment from local and sustainable manufacturers. We also seek to increase partnerships with local businesses to collaborate on environmental initiatives that benefit our community. Additionally, we are committed to phasing out the use of plastic throughout our operations, aligning with our vision for a more environmentally friendly studio environment. These goals reflect our ongoing dedication to sustainable practices and fostering a greener future for Hoboken.
Waste
Waste Reduction
Description of Action: 
In our commitment to waste reduction, Ken Pilates has eliminated single-use cleaning wipes from our classes, which previously generated approximately 2 pounds of waste daily. Instead, we have adopted an eco-friendly cleaning agent used with reusable cleaning towels. This shift not only saves us money by eliminating the need to restock cleaning wipes but also significantly reduces our environmental footprint by reusing cleaning towels, thereby minimizing the amount of waste generated at our studio each day.

Water
Water Conservation
Description of Action: 
We have one toilet on the property, and it is a WaterSense-certified toilet that uses 1.28 gallons per flush. This toilet meets the Environmental Protection Agency's standards for water efficiency, which helps us conserve water and reduce our overall environmental impact. Compared to standard toilets that use up to 1.6 gallons per flush, our WaterSense-certified toilet significantly reduces water usage, aligning with our commitment to sustainability and resource conservation.
Community
Improve Indoor Air Quality
Description of Action: 
We have four air purifiers with HEPA filters in our business, one in each room, to maximize the air quality throughout the entire space, contributing to sustainable practices by ensuring a healthier indoor environment and reducing the need for chemical air fresheners.
Support Community Initiatives
Description of Action: 
We support community sustainability initiatives through active participation in local events and partnerships. For three years, we have participated in the City of Hoboken's Fitness In The Park program, attracting over 100 people to our free, open-to-all-levels class. Additionally, we have headlined the Hoboken Earth Day Festival, providing live fitness demonstrations in the park alongside eco-friendly activities and businesses. Year-round, we partner with local businesses to offer community-based fitness classes, such as Pride Pilates, Juneteenth Pilates, and more, promoting both fitness and environmental awareness in our community. Furthermore, we sponsor outdoor community events like the Hoboken Dance Festival and the Hoboken Community Ball, fostering a culture of wellness and inclusivity throughout Hoboken.
Shop Local
Description of Action: 
Throughout the year, we actively support local businesses by partnering with them for various events and initiatives. For example, we collaborate with Alfalfa for nutrition discussions, partner with local ice cream makers for our Juneteenth event, and work with local med spas for our Wellness Day event. These partnerships not only promote community engagement but also strengthen our commitment to supporting and showcasing local enterprises in Hoboken. Ken, the owner of Ken Pilates, serves as a board member on the Hoboken Business Alliance, which aims to energize and enhance Hoboken’s business environment and maximize consumer engagement through collaborative alliances, creating a thriving place for small businesses.
