16 Best Pilates Studios In Singapore To Tone & Sculpt Your Way Into Those 11-Line Abs

Best pilates studios in Singapore


You’ve seen it on TikTok and Instagram; even K-pop idols say that this is the workout to get on. That’s right, we’re talking about pilates. Originally employed by professional dancers in the early 20th century to prevent injuries and enhance flexibility, this exercise has evolved into a comprehensive, full-body, and low-impact workout accessible to everyone.

Pilates works various muscle groups to build control over your body’s movements, and is a great way to get that spicy beach bod. From “hot” pilates classes to affordable packages, we’ve rounded up several of the best pilates studios in Singapore to check out. Time to breathe in, breathe out, and scroll on.


What do I need for a pilates class?

Form-fitting exercise clothes are ideal for pilates classes so that your instructor will be able to see your posture and correct your form as needed. Men can opt for gym shorts and a more form-fitting t-shirt, while women ideally should wear a longline sports bra, and pilates leggings. Grip socks are a must to prevent slipping on the mat, reformer, or any other pilates equipment.


Types of pilates classes in Singapore


Mat pilates

Mat pilates entails a sequence of exercises executed on the floor, utilising gravity and your body weight for resistance. The main objective is to strengthen your deeper, stabilising muscles to enhance posture, balance, and coordination.

It offers an accessible and beginner-friendly foundation to help you understand the basics of pilates, before eventually moving onto pilates workouts which involve equipment.


Reformer pilates

Reformer pilates makes use of a reformer machine, which is operated through the resistance of springs and pulleys that are used to push and pull the sliding carriage. It is a low-impact workout that targets isolated muscle groups.

Contrary to popular belief, reformer pilates is not necessarily harder than mat pilates. The main difference is that mat pilates relies more on body weight and groundwork, while the level of resistance you get using the reformer can be easily adjusted with its springs and pulleys.

For those with injuries or have a limited level of mobility, the reformer method can serve as a safer alternative and provide more assistance as you do the exercises.


Chair pilates

Chair pilates uses a contraption called, well, the pilates chair. It is a contraption fitted with springs, pedals, and handles so you can get a full-body workout that also works your balance, coordination, and flexibility.

Fun fact: chair pilates workouts are so effective at improving your arm and leg strength that it is a popular training method for athletes partaking in the likes of soccer, rugby, track, and hockey.


Cadillac pilates



Image credit: Adobe Stock

Don’t be intimidated by this complex machine that resembles a massage bed mixed with acrobatic fixtures. A pilates Cadillac is essentially a raised platform fitted with an overhead trapeze. The trapeze is able to hold attachments like various bars, handles, and springs such that you can accomplish different pilates moves and target a range of muscle groups.

Cadillac pilates classes are usually an option reserved for private classes. It’s definitely a level-up to consider if you’ve already conquered other forms of pilates. For those who have mobility difficulties, the elevated platform in Cadillac pilates also makes it gentler on the joints to get on and off of, as compared to mat pilates which involves lowering oneself onto the floor.

If you see the term “Tower pilates”, it’s referring to a more compact version of the Cadillac, consisting of only one side and without the overhead trapeze.


Barrel pilates


Pilates Singapore - Barrel

If you’ve ever spotted a curved bench in a pilates studio, that’s the barrel. Unlike the reformer or Cadillac, the Barrel doesn’t involve moving parts. Instead, it uses a rounded, leather-padded hump to support your spine while you stretch, strengthen, and work on control, making it a good option for improving posture and flexibility.

The ladder barrel also comes with wooden rungs that let you go deeper into stretches and backbends while keeping your balance in check.

Benefits are aplenty for this form of pilates, including improved circulation, detoxification of the body, and pain-relieving effects.

With 5 studios located at Alexandra, Bukit Timah, Katong, Kovan, and Woodlands, you’ll be able to easily find a class to join.

I get such a good workout here. The admin staff are very friendly and helped with finding the best package for me. The only downsides are that my package can only be used in Woodlands so I can’t try other outlets, and the weekday night classes get fully booked really fast.”

Line Pilates

How many times a week is it ideal to go for pilates?

3 times a week is usually the recommended schedule for pilates if you want to see a difference in your body strength and tone. However, if you already have a regular exercise routine, then going to pilates once or twice weekly is sufficient.


Is pilates alone enough exercise?

The short answer is that it depends. If your primary goal is to maintain your overall health, then it’s perfectly fine to have pilates be the only exercise that you do. However, for more specific fitness or weight loss goals, it might be better to pair your pilates routine with other forms of physical activity, such as cardio or strength training.


What is the difference between yoga & pilates?

Pilates focuses on enhancing body control and muscle endurance, while yoga is grounded in spiritual practices that establish a connection between the body, mind, and spirit through a flowing sequence of movements.

Additionally, yoga tends to place more emphasis on improving your flexibility and deep breathing techniques. It also tackles broader muscle groups while pilates is widely known for core strength, with most movements stemming from the centre of the body.
