Rated 5.0 on Google · 36 reviews. No membership. No commitment. Morning classes every day.
Boutique Reformer Pilates in the heart of Almancil. Purpose-built for the Reformer, not a gym add-on, not a yoga studio that picked up some equipment. Small groups. Your own machine. Proper attention to every person in the room.
Group classes run every morning, weekdays from 8:45 and weekends from 10:30. Small groups by design. Four class formats covering all levels, from complete beginners to experienced movers. Private sessions available by arrangement.
A small team of qualified instructors, founded and led by Victoria Barton, who holds a Polestar Pilates Diploma and has been teaching for thirteen years. Every class is coached properly, for the years ahead: staying strong, mobile, and confident in your body.
Meet the team →Small group Reformer classes in Almancil, minutes from Vilamoura, Quinta do Lago, and Vale do Lobo. This isn't about getting toned. It's about still doing what you love, golf, hiking, everyday life, in ten years' time.

About the retreats →
Everything you need to know before your first class.
No. All of our group classes have beginners in them regularly. Your instructor will show you what to do. The first class can feel a bit overwhelming, but most people feel comfortable by class 2 or 3.
Deliberately small. Every class is kept small enough for your instructor to give proper attention to everyone in the room, with your own Reformer machine for the whole session.
We're inside Edificio Doza on Av. 5 de Outubro 143 in Almancil. Best parking is the Pingo Doce car park, about a 3-minute walk.
