The reformer workout
The studio's approach is built on a customized reformer that has been modified for a full body, low impact workout. Unlike traditional Pilates, most exercises are performed standing or kneeling, which puts more attention on posture and core strength while keeping the heart rate elevated.
Every session includes an emphasis on breath, and the classes that appear most often are Pilates, reformer work and core and pelvic floor training.
When and who
Most classes are scheduled in the morning, with a large share starting before 9am. Earlier starts begin at 6am, while the evening classes end the day at 6:30pm at the latest.
The classes are led by a team of about ten facilitators, with emily boss, lindsey anderson, jess denton and jamie robson among those teaching the most sessions here. Lessons are taught in English.
