What the studio practices
gia pilates is a studio in Freising, at Kesselschmiedstraße 3. Its timetable is built mostly around reformer pilates, the style that uses a sliding carriage, springs and straps. Mat pilates appears less often, with a morning mat class and a closing mat class at the end of the day.
The studio's classes are almost all pilates. Strength, core and pelvic floor work, and a few gentler sessions appear among the classes, which are shaped for different energies and bodies.
Levels and life stages
Most classes are marked for all levels, so people new to the studio can join them. A beginner reformer class is available for those who want to strengthen the basics before moving on, and an advanced reformer class follows on from those foundations with more demanding work on dynamics and control.
The studio also offers a cardio jump reformer class, which adds controlled jumps to flowing pilates sequences, and a set of sessions for pregnancy and the period afterwards. These follow the body's needs at each stage.
How the week runs
Classes begin as early as 7am and continue until 8pm. Evenings and mornings carry the largest share of the timetable, and noon, 7pm and 6pm are among the most frequent start times. Sundays, Thursdays and Fridays are the busiest days.
The usual class runs about 55 minutes, with a longer autumn evening that pairs mat pilates with creative work. About ten facilitators lead the classes, with Georgia, Lisa, Bianka, Reni and Isabell teaching the largest number.
