What is taught here
Pilates is nearly all of what happens at Maison Amat, and about half of the classes are on the reformer. Alongside the reformer sessions you will find Strong Reformer, which keeps the same full body sequences but adds heavier springs and more resistance. Power Pilates and Body Sculpt bring a faster, more demanding rhythm, while Pilates Flow focuses on continuous movement.
The studio also runs a few classes for the core and pelvic floor, a few for strength, and a small number for mobility and stretching. A single 60-minute AMAT Run and Reformer session combines running with the machine.
How the week runs
Classes run from as early as 7:45am until 8:30pm. About a third of the timetable sits in the morning, and about a fifth falls at midday and at weekends. The busiest start times are 7:45am, 8:45am, 12:10pm and 1:10pm, and the most crowded days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
The studio is run by a couple of dozen facilitators, and the ones with the most classes include Coline Delhommeau, Manon Virmoux, Mélodie Lefèvre, Clara Tatjana Rauch and Nathy Benguedih. Each class lists its facilitator, so you can follow the people whose teaching suits you.

How should a newcomer start at Maison Amat?
Reformer classes are a good starting point, since the machine supports the body while you learn the movements. Full Body and Reformer classes are the most common, and the studio's own descriptions show which class suits which level. A conversation with a facilitator before the first session can help you choose.
Can I use a sports pass here?
More than half of the classes can be booked with Wellpass, Urban Sports Club or ClassPass. This makes the studio easier to try if you already hold one of these passes.
