On Demand Studio
Our On Demand Studio allows you to top up your practice with shorter clips and tips to help you progress further in between live classes.
All of the live online classes are uploaded here too so that if you miss a class one week you can catch up at a time that suits you. This flexibility allows you to do as much or as little Pilates as you like, with no pressure or expectation.
The easy filter systems allows you to select a class based on your mood, Pilates level, preferred teacher and the length of time that you have, so you can find the perfect class for you every single time.
The library has over 80 classes including full length classes, Pilates for back pain, the Pilates Fundamentals, ‘How To’ videos, meditation and more. We update the On Demand Studio every week so there’s always something new to try and as a member, we value your input. If you want to see something specific that’s not already in the library, let us know and we’ll design, create and upload one to fit your requirements.
You can access the On Demand Studio anywhere, anytime: on your laptop, mobile or other device; at home, at work or even when you’re on holiday! Join our On Demand Studio now and discover our range of amazing Pilates classes right from inside your pocket.
