It's a low-impact exercise system focusing on core strength, flexibility, posture, and body awareness. It was created by Joseph Pilates. We are practicing a contemporary version of Pilates adapted for group fitness, focussing on the Reformer.

Grip socks are mandatory for all classes and we have some available for purchase at the studio. Please come early if you intend to purchase grip socks!

Wear comfortable clothing that allows full range of movement. Please leave phones in bags on silent and bring only your water bottle to your reformer.

Absolutely! We can't wait to introduce you to reformer pilates - you will love it! We recommend all beginners start with a Stira class to familiarize themselves with the machines at a slower pace.

We recommend having experience with reformer pilates before booking in to our Forza and Bella Booty classes. These classes move quickly and we prefer not to slow down the pace / affect the work out for the other students in the class.

Yes, book your class online in advance to secure your spot!

Classes open for booking 21 days in advance.
