Pilates in Abu Dhabi

Your questions, answered.

What is the difference between mat Pilates and Reformer Pilates?

Mat Pilates uses your body weight on the floor; Reformer Pilates adds a sliding carriage and springs that challenge or support you. That makes the reformer easier to tailor — see our Reformer Pilates classes.

How often should I do Pilates to see results?

Two to three classes a week works for most people. Consistency matters more than intensity.

Is Pilates suitable if I have an injury or chronic pain?

Pilates is low-impact and adaptable, but check with your doctor or physiotherapist first. Then tell your instructor when you book so they can modify your workout.

Do you offer ladies-only Pilates in Abu Dhabi?

Yes. The Reformr Pilates Studio at Shams Boutik runs both ladies-only and mixed Reformer Pilates classes — check the class name when you book.

How much does Pilates cost at The Reformr?

A Reformer Pilates tryout is AED 145 and a Lagree tryout AED 155. Packages bring it down to about AED 122 per class — see all prices and packages.
