A dedicated Pilates studio inside our private Ladies section — reformer, cadillac, barrel and mat — led by certified instructors who program each session to your level.
Pilates is a low-impact method built on control, breathing and deep-core stability — it improves posture, mobility and movement quality, which is why it pairs so well with strength training and everyday life. RPM's Pilates studio covers the full spectrum: mat work and small-group classes through to reformer, cadillac and barrel, all inside our private Ladies section.
Sessions are run by certified Pilates instructors with backgrounds in physical education and corrective movement, and every movement is programmed to your level — whether you're completely new to Pilates, returning after pregnancy, or adding it as a complement to lifting.

Questions, answered.
What is Pilates and who is it for?
Pilates is a low-impact method focused on control, breathing and deep-core stability. It suits almost everyone — beginners, people returning after pregnancy or injury, and lifters who want better posture, mobility and movement quality alongside their strength work.
What kind of Pilates do you offer?
Mat and small-group classes plus full apparatus work — reformer, cadillac and barrel — covering strength, mobility and rehab, all inside the Ladies section.
Should I start with mat or reformer Pilates?
Either works. Mat classes are the simplest starting point and need no machine; the reformer adds adjustable spring resistance and support for faster progression. Many members do both — see our dedicated reformer Pilates page for the machine specifically.
Is Pilates included in membership?
Mat and equipment time is included with Engine membership. Private 1:1 sessions are bookable as add-ons or part of the Atelier tier.
Do I need experience to start?
No. Sessions are programmed for beginner to advanced — your instructor regresses or progresses each movement to your level.
Are Pilates classes ladies-only?
Yes. The Pilates studio sits inside the private Ladies section with certified female instructors.
