At The Pilates Co., there are no self-guided workouts that tempt you into aimless exercising with little to no impact. Here, there is always a certified teacher leading the small-group class or a private or semi-private session. That ensures exercisers ranging from newbies to die-hard Pilates fans stay on track, have good form, and get complete head-to-toe muscle training. The majority of each class is spent working on the Reformer machine, though the curriculum also blends in flexibility-building challenges from the ballet barre, the Pilates springboard, and TRX suspension training.
