What the studio offers
The studio is built around pilates in its many forms. Reformer classes are the core of the timetable, running from beginner to advanced, with the reformer level 0 to 1 class asking for some mat experience first. Mat classes cover the same progression, and the studio also offers a cardio pilates class that adds interval-style intensity to the usual precision work.
For people who want something gentler, there is an all-levels reformer class that starts the day with flowing, stabilizing movement. A small number of classes mix pilates with yoga, and one focuses on mobility and stretch.
How the week runs
The timetable is weighted toward the evening, with about half of the classes starting then. Morning classes make up a good share of the rest, starting as early as 7:45am, and the busiest start times fall around 6pm, 7:15pm, 9am and 10:15am. Midday is rarely used, and weekend classes are few.
Thursdays, Fridays and Tuesdays see the most classes, so those are the days to look at if you want the widest choice.
