Pilates at Home vs Studio Classes – What’s Better?

Pilates at Home vs Studio Classes – What’s Better?

Here’s how our Folding Pilates reformer stacks up against traditional studio classes...

Reason 1: Save Time & Skip the Waitlist
 
We all know that studio spots are limited - How many times have you been stuck on the waitlist? At €25 a class, you're not just paying for the session -  you're paying to wait. With our folding reformer, your session starts when you say so.

Reason 2: Total Flexibility

When do you like to train? Early morning, post-dinner, weekends, when your children are watching tv? With a Flexera Folding Reformer your home becomes your personal studio.
No wait, no commute. No stress.

Reason 3: Expert Coaching On Demand
 
Our Flexera Studio App gives you access to world-class Pilates instructors and tailored workout programs!
Whether you're a beginner or refining your technique, you’ll always have guidance! 
Work on your goals - your way!

Still not convinced see our review from real life customer Millie.

I had been going to classes 4-5 days a week for nearly 2 years, spending a small fortune and then one day Flexera popped up on my Instagram and I was sold as soon as I saw it came in sage green… and a bonus, it folds in half so you don’t have to have it out all the time if you’re tight on space. I have been using it almost every day, even if it’s just for 15-20 mins on days I’m too busy for a full hour, I’ve even gotten my husband into it - he used to make jokes about me going to my girl classes and now he can see actually how hard it is - I may have put a few extra springs on than usual for him just to really push it and make him shake haha!
