What the classes are
Pilates is the heart of this studio, and nearly every class is a pilates class. The method is deliberate: each movement is performed with attention and control, so the work stays precise rather than rushed. Many classes are labeled as strong, with a clear emphasis on the core and the pelvic floor, and several work on balance. More than half are open to all levels.
For those who need a slower approach, pilates+ is a separate option. It runs for 45 minutes, with a calmer tempo and more individual adjustments, and it is designed for people living with injuries, ongoing discomfort or pain. A gentler pace is also part of the regular timetable for about a third of the classes.
How the week runs
The studio's timetable is built around the morning. Classes start as early as 9am and run until 10:15am at the latest, with the busiest starts at 9am and 10:15am. Mondays and Thursdays carry the most classes. Most standard pilates sessions last about an hour.
Anouk leads a larger part of the classes than any other facilitator, and the small team means each session has a steady, familiar rhythm. The studio sits in the quiet Ouderkerk aan de Amstel area, a short distance from the city center.
