Thank you for a fantastic Summer Season of Group Class Pop Ups! We’ve just finished up for the season but join us for 1x1 Sessions in our Private Studios or sign up below to be the first to know when we open our Group Classes again
THE CIRCUIT: Our Answer to Mat Pilates
High Intensity Pilates Mat Classes that bring our Athletic, Contemporary, Pilates Reformer Method to a group class setting.
Trust us, you don’t need a Reformer to get a killer workout
Mix up your routine and see how strong you can get with Contemporary Pilates Mat.
The class is as high-intensity as you'd like to take it. We'll build the framework for your strongest, most functional body whilst checking all of those pilates boxes. Think abs, abs, and more abs. If you've tried Pilates before and found it too easy or boring, give this a shot.
We teach you how to move so that you can find your strongest self in and out of the studio.
What we offer
60 mins (yes a full hour) of Athletic, Contemporary Pilates with all of the best props to maximize the class. Progressive programming (we repeat and advance every week) and smart functional training.
Learn the fitness foundations that will make you even stronger (think mastering the basics to advance) while still getting a great workout in. Feel empowered to work out yourself knowing you have the right technique and focus.

FAQs for Group Classes
-
The CIRCUIT Group Class will include a variety of standing and lying-down work. You’ll work your entire body using an assortment of props and exercises. We'll guide you on proper form, alignment, and breathing techniques for each exercise, ensuring safety and effectiveness.
We play music (+ take requests via Instagram each week) and keep the tone light. It’s a hard class but an extremely welcoming and friendly environment.
-
Wear comfortable, form-fitting clothing that allows for ease of movement! You should avoid loose or baggy attire if you want to clearly see your form but comfort is the priority. Pilates socks with grip bottoms or bare feet are also recommended to provide traction and stability during exercises. Feel free to bring your own water bottle and towel, but all mats and equipment will be provided.
-
We’d say generally yes! The class is extremely mixed level. However, if you have a severe injury that limits movement a private session may be better suited.
Additionally, we do planking, lunging, and some lying on the floor. If you’re not comfortable doing these exercises yet we’d recommend booking a private first.

Pilates Ball for instability
Glider to replicate the Reformer
Resistance bands to add weight
-
It is important to have energy during a class! It’s advisable to eat a light meal or snack 1-2 hours before a Pilates session but to avoid heavy meals that may cause discomfort during exercise.
-
We unfortunately don’t recommend the class for our pregnant clients due to the intensity and frequency of ab work. When we work with Pre-Natal clients in our privates we ensure that you’re doing the work that’s best for your body in each stage of pregnancy. In the Group Class, the training goals are different so we find it safest to recommend privates instead.
If you’re in your first trimester or feel comfortable modifying exercises, you are absolutely welcome to join the class. If you have any questions please feel free to email us as we’d love to have you and just want to keep you safe.
