Classical Pilates is usually described as strength with stretch with control (and lots of fun!!!)

We adapt to individual needs and are fully qualified to work in collaboration with rehabilitation professionals and mothers-to-be, bringing years of experience and care to every session.

What makes us different?

We teach Classical Pilates

Our studio is the only one in Brussels that teaches the Classical Pilates Method in Group setups. The main difference is that we stay close to the original teachings of Joseph Pilates, who described physical fitness as the capacity to live life “with spontaneous zest and pleasure”. Moving better, feeling better, living to the fullest: that’s where our heart is.

Gratz

Gratz is actually the original manufacturer of Pilates equipment all the way back to 1929 in New York. They are the gold standard of Pilates machines. You will feel the difference. We use all the Pilates apparatus invented by Joseph Pilates — including the Reformer, Mat, Chair, Tower, and more — and offer classes in different levels so you can feel supported, comfortable, and challenged at your own pace.

Small Groups

In small groups of five, instructors can provide more individualized guidance and corrections. This helps ensure that each participant performs exercises correctly, which is crucial for achieving desired results and preventing injuries. We want to give you all the attention you deserve. Most importantly, we truly love our Pilates community, where we support each other and have fun together.

The Journey

Classical Pilates is a fascinating journey that will change the relation between your mind and body forever. We want to see our students grow from beginners to advanced. Classical Pilates focuses on the mind-body connection, so life can be enjoyed to the fullest. Finding this joy and control was, according to Joseph Pilates, the way to a healthy, happy life, which is why he called his method Contrology.
