Published 16 hours ago• 8 minute read

Looking to revamp your fitness routine? Then Pilates might be the perfect option for you.

With celebrities such as Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner, elevating their fitness routine with reformer Pilates, it’s time for you to take up a session or two.

This once forgotten exercise trend has made a comeback since it was first invented by Joseph Pilates a century ago. With social media been the force behind its resurgence, this popular workout channels the mind-body connection to achieve precise, controlled movements that promote alignment, balance and strength.

Designed to improve physical strength and coordination, form long-term habits and ensure greater core strength, these workouts allow to strengthen your muscles and feel mentally fit. Pilates can help create long, lean, and defined muscles, while also helping to reduce stress, creating awareness in the body, and improving mental clarity.

So, if you’re looking to begin on your Pilates fitness journey, we’re curated a guide of all the must-visit studios in Dubai.

Newly opened in Jumeirah is Plume, a two-floor space that’s transformed a whitewashed villa into a beautifully zen wellness studio. On the ground floor, quiet spaces for relaxation and remote work feature alongside a Bali-inspired plunge pool and yoga studio, while upstairs, reformer Pilates classes take place in a lovely and bright studio. There’s also a space for private Pilates classes and sports massage. Get your first class for Dhs89, then Dhs190 thereafter.
