PILATES ON REFORMER
Strength, mobility and flexibility
(private, semi-private or groups of up to 4)
Pilates on the Reformer is a specific form of Pilates exercise that uses equipment called a “Reformer”. The Reformer is a machine consisting of a frame with a mobile carriage attached by springs. Pilates exercises on the Reformer involve using the carriage to create variable resistance during movement.
During a Pilates session on the Reformer, the practitioner can perform a variety of exercises that target strength, flexibility, balance and coordination. The Reformer’s springs allow the resistance to be adjusted according to the individual’s skill level and goals, making it a versatile tool for beginners and advanced alike.
Using Pilates on the Reformer can offer benefits such as overall muscle strengthening, improved posture, increased flexibility and greater body awareness. It is often used as part of a group or private session led by a qualified Pilates instructor.
Pilates on the floor
Strength, mobility and flexibility
(groups of 8 max.)
Floor Pilates refers to a form of Pilates that is practiced on a floor mat rather than on specific equipment such as the Reformer, Cadillac or Chair, which are often used in Pilates sessions in the studio. Floor Pilates focuses on strengthening deep muscles, improving flexibility, coordination and stability, mainly using body weight as resistance.
Floor Pilates exercises can include a variety of movements, ranging from stretching and muscle strengthening exercises to breathing and body control exercises. These sessions can be adapted to different levels of skill, from beginner to advanced, and can be practiced individually or in groups. The overall goal of Floor Pilates is to develop a solid foundation of stability, mobility and strength, while promoting body awareness and improved posture.
BARRE
Sculpts, tones and lengthens the body
(groups of 8 max.)
Pilates at the bar” is a variant of traditional Pilates that integrates muscle strengthening, flexibility and balance exercises, using a ballet bar as an accessory. This approach combines the fundamental principles of Pilates with movements inspired by classical dance. The bar is used as a support to help maintain balance, work posture and accentuate muscle resistance.
The goal of Pilates at the helm is to create a complete workout that specifically targets the deep muscles of the body while improving strength, flexibility and grace. Exercises often involve fluid and controlled movements, focusing on the connection between the mind and the body, characteristic of Pilates.
This modality is popular because it offers an innovative and fun approach to Pilates, while integrating dance elements that add an artistic dimension to training. It can be adapted to different fitness levels, which makes it accessible to a wide audience.
Yoga
For a peaceful, relaxing and invigorating state of mind
(groups of 8 max.)
Yoga is an ancient practice that has its origins in India. It is a holistic system aimed at harmonizing body, mind and soul. The practice of yoga encompasses various aspects, including physical postures (asanas), conscious breathing (pranayama), meditation and philosophy of life.
Asanas, or postures, are often associated with yoga in popular culture. These physical positions aim to improve the strength, flexibility and balance of the body. Pranayama, on the other hand, focuses on breathing regulation to promote relaxation and breath awareness.
Meditation is another key element of yoga, aimed at calming the mind, developing concentration and cultivating mindfulness. The philosophy of yoga includes ethical and spiritual principles aimed at guiding the practitioner towards a balanced and fulfilling life.
Yoga is often practiced as a means of promoting physical, mental and emotional well-being, and it has become popular around the world as a tool to manage stress, improve overall health and promote a balanced life.
Cardio
Excellent for burning fat
(private, semi-private or groups of up to 6)
The term “cardio” is an abbreviation of “cardiovascular”, which refers to everything related to the cardiovascular system, involving the heart and blood vessels. In the context of physical exercise, cardio generally refers to activities aimed at improving the health of the heart and lungs, as well as strengthening blood circulation.
Cardiovascular exercises, or “cardio”, are activities that increase the heart rate and breathing over an extended period of time. These exercises can include running, swimming, cycling, fast walking, jumping rope and other forms of aerobic activities. The goal is to stimulate the cardiovascular system, improve endurance, burn calories and promote better overall health.
Cardiovascular training is often recommended to maintain good physical condition, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, control body weight and improve lung capacity. This is an important component of a balanced exercise program.

I find it very accommodating that there are classes as much during the day as in the evening. The Web registration system is very easy to use and gives us the independence to choose the courses that work with our schedule.
What I like the most is the proximity of the studio, located in the heart of Faubourg Bois-Franc.
I recommend Pilates Bois-Franc to all those who are looking for variety in their training and a warm welcome from the reception.”
