What the studio offers
The studio is built around reformer Pilates, which makes up most of the schedule. You will also find mat Pilates, including roller and stability ball variations, along with a few classes that blend Pilates with yoga or kettlebells. A small number of anti-gravity aerial classes round out the offer.
Most classes run 55 minutes. The 45-minute express reformer class is the shorter option for days when time is tight.
How the week runs
More than half of the classes start in the morning, and the earliest begin at 7am. The busiest start times are 8:45am, 9:45am, 5:30pm and 6:30pm. Wednesday, Friday and Monday see the most classes. Weekends are a smaller part of the week, with about a fifth of the classes falling on Saturday and Sunday.
Valentyna, Eileen, Boris, Yana and Helen lead the most classes, and the team of about ten facilitators gives the schedule a steady rhythm across the week.
