Our pilates classes

At our studio you make two choices: the type of class (Reformer or Mat) and the format (private, duo or trio). We also offer functional training as a separate package. There are never more than 3 people in a class.

1. Type of class

Reformer or Mat?

Both are based on Joseph Pilates' method; the difference is what you do the movement with.

On the machine

Reformer Pilates

You work on a sliding platform with springs that provide resistance. The springs can make a movement harder or support it, so beginners and regular exercisers both work at their own level.

  • 3 Bendis reformers, one of them a Cadillac reformer
  • Private, duo or trio

On the mat

Mat Pilates

You work with your own body weight and small equipment such as a ball, band or ring. There is no machine to carry you, so it is simple but challenging.

  • Core strength, posture and flexibility
  • Private, duo or trio

Separate package

Functional Training

Strengthens the movements you use every day: squatting, bending and lifting, pushing, pulling, carrying and rotating.

  • Alongside pilates or on its own
  • Small group or private

2. Class format
