What is Pilates?

Pilates is a method of movement created by Joseph Pilates, designed to bring balance, strength and control to the body. Originally called Contrology, it was built on the belief that when you move with precision and purpose, you don’t just strengthen your body, you transform it.

At studio88, we honour those foundations while keeping things accessible and empowering for real people with real lives.

Our Stirchley studio focuses on Reformer Pilates, using spring resistance to support and challenge you in all the right ways. Over at Hall Green, we’re building a fully equipped Pilates space offering Reformer, Mat and Wunda Chair sessions, each one helping you build strength, awareness and confidence in your body.

Pilates helps you move better, feel stronger and stay connected to yourself. It’s about control, not intensity. Quality, not speed.

This is Pilates taught the studio88 way, with knowledge, care and a lot of good energy.
