ICYMI, BK Pilates is now open in The Row building on Saunders Street.

Whether you’re a pilates pro or just starting your fitness journey, the new studio offers individual training and group classes at all skill levels.

The RALtoday team recently attended our first class: Follow along and check out our reel for a sneak peek of what to expect. Spoiler alert: We’re still sore.

What we tried

Before class, we met with instructors Marina and Raven for individual intro support. We got full a rundown on the equipment, including BK’s reformers. From the moment we entered, our team felt totally at ease despite our (total) lack of experience.

In the group class, a Reformer Classic Flow, we worked on introductory movements that challenged our core, flexibility, and our mind + body connection.

Psst: If you want to give pilates a try but aren’t sure what class is right for you, consult BK’s helpful guide before you book.
