What makes EQ different
Every class at EQ is capped at six people. Your instructor is watching you throughout – not demonstrating from the front, not managing a crowd, but actually watching what your body is doing and correcting it.
Most new clients tell us they've never had anyone correct their alignment before. After years of Pilates elsewhere. That correction is not a criticism – it's the whole point. Without it you're just repeating movement patterns that may not be helping you at all.
We use the full system – Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chairs, and Barrels. Each piece of equipment exists for a reason and is used deliberately, not because it looks impressive or fills a room.
"I've never done Pilates before."
That's what people say after their first session at EQ. Not as a complaint. As a realisation.
They've often been to another studio for months or years. They thought they knew what Pilates was. Then they come here and discover they were doing something else entirely.
What you've probably experienced before
Reformer-only studios that feel more like a gym. or a room with 20 or 30 people following along at the same pace. An instructor at the front demonstrating while you copy as best you can. No one watching what you're actually doing. No corrections. Getting hot and sweaty and leaving wondering what the point was.
That's not Pilates. That's a fitness class.
Real Pilates is about precision. About understanding why each movement exists and what it should feel like when it's done correctly. You should leave a session feeling different – stronger, taller, more connected to your body. Not just tired.
Why it was developed this way
Pilates was created as a complete and precise system of movement. The methodology has been passed down through direct lineage from Joseph Pilates himself. It is not a fitness trend. It is not a gym class. It is a specific body of work that produces specific results when taught properly.
At EQ we teach it properly. We have done since 2001.
