What the practice looks like
Pilates runs through the schedule, with reformer classes in several levels, from beginner to advanced, along with intermediate mat and tower sessions. A large share of classes focus on strength and on the core and pelvic floor. Spin, TRX, boxing and a strength and agility circuit add more energy to the week.
For a slower pace, there are yoga flow classes, some restorative sessions, and sound baths with gong and bowls. Meditation and breathwork appear less often.
How the week runs
Mornings carry most of the week, with a good number of classes starting between 8am and 10:15am. Midday is quiet, and evening classes are fewer. Monday, Tuesday and Friday are the busiest days. Weekend classes make up about a fifth of the schedule.
Most classes last 50 minutes, which keeps the rhythm of the day steady. Guests can take a single class, as the Spa Member Guest Pass is one of the options listed.
