Reformer-Mat-Tower Pilates Group Classes

Full studio workout the way Joe Pilates intended it!

At Espace Pilates, we offer a unique Chez-Joe class that brings together the best of Classical Pilates in a small group setting of up to six participants. The Chez-Joe class begins with Reformer Pilates, followed by Mat-Work, and concludes with the magic of the classical springs on the Tower: the repertoire of exercises originally conceived on the Pilates “Cadillac”, thus utilizing the full studio, the way Joe Pilates intended. This combination offers a comprehensive workout that challenges your body, helping you build strength, and improve flexibility, and work your core!

Given the group setting of these classes, it’s essential that participants are familiar with the equipment and transitions between exercises so that it can have the appropriate flow.

Therefore, the first step to joining our Chez-Joe classes is to book a series of private sessions. During these sessions, you’ll learn how to handle the Reformer, transition smoothly between exercises, and get a taste of what Classical Pilates is all about. Once you’re comfortable, your instructor will advise you on when to integrate the Reformer-Mat-Tower classes into your practice, ensuring you get the most out of your 55-minute Chez-Joe class.

Our group classes, including Chez-Joe, are designed to maintain the integrity of Joseph Pilates’ original method allowing for personalized attention from the instructor, ensuring you perform the exercises correctly and safely. However, it’s important to note that these classes are not suitable for those with medical or movement restrictions, as the focus is on providing a comprehensive, full-body workout rather than therapeutic modifications.

So, why did we call it Chez-Joe? At Espace Pilates, we are committed to going back to the roots of Pilates, honoring the method as Joseph Pilates intended. With our top-of-the-line Pilates apparatus, small group size, and a clear focus on the classical approach, our Chez-Joe class is designed to take your Pilates practice to the next level, helping you to achieve your fitness goals in a supportive and authentic environment. Join us and feel the difference for yourself!
