Barre
Barre is a low-impact workout inspired by ballet, Pilates, and yoga. It focuses on small, controlled movements, light strength training, and high repetitions. Most classes use a ballet barre for balance, but many exercises can be done on the mat or with simple props like light weights, resistance bands, or balls.
Mat Pilates
Mat Pilates is a floor-based workout that uses your own body weight for resistance. Rooted in Joseph Pilates’ original method, it focuses on controlled movements, breathwork, and proper alignment. Classes typically incorporate exercises performed on a mat, sometimes with small props like rings, balls, or light weights to enhance the workout.
Reformer Pilates
Reformer Pilates is a dynamic, full-body workout performed on a specialized machine called the Reformer. The machine uses springs, pulleys, and a moving carriage to create adjustable resistance, allowing for precise, controlled movements. This style of Pilates strengthens and lengthens the body while improving alignment and core stability.
