Anjos Pilates: Boutique Reformer & Mat Pilates Studio Near Anjos and Intendente, Lisbon

Looking for Reformer Pilates in Lisbon that actually delivers results without overcrowded classes or cookie-cutter routines? Welcome to Anjos Pilates — a calm, community-driven Pilates studio located in one of Lisbon’s most creative neighborhoods, just steps from Anjos and Intendente metro stations. Whether you're taking your first-ever Pilates class or deepening a long-standing movement practice, we offer a space where your body gets the attention it truly deserves.

We specialize in Reformer Pilates, Mat Pilates, and yoga — all taught with a strong focus on technical precision, body awareness, breath, and long-term progress. Our light-filled, minimalist studio is a refreshing break from the noise of the city, designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and live more comfortably in your body.

Most importantly: class sizes are kept intentionally small — with just 5 Reformers and 8 mat spaces — so your experience is personal, safe, and guided with care.

Reformer Pilates Lisbon — Personal, Technical, Transformative

Reformer Pilates is a dynamic, resistance-based workout that uses a spring-loaded machine to challenge strength, mobility, and control. The Reformer’s sliding carriage, adjustable resistance, and full-body focus make it ideal for:

• Building core stability
• Improving posture
• Enhancing flexibility
• Supporting injury recovery
• Managing back and joint pain
• Deepening mind-body awareness

Unlike large commercial gyms or drop-in mega classes, our Reformer Pilates sessions are capped at just six people. That means your teacher sees how you move — and gives you the feedback and modifications you actually need. This approach creates real results: better control, better strength, better function.

We welcome all levels, and our instructors guide each student through safe, progressive sequences designed to meet you where you are.

Mat Pilates & Yoga — Grounded Strength, Everyday Grace

While our Reformer classes are in high demand, we remain deeply committed to Mat Pilates as a foundation. Mat Pilates teaches you to move with precision and control using only your bodyweight. These classes help you build deep core strength, improve balance, and develop better alignment — all essential tools for long-term strength and resilience.

We offer various mat-based classes, including:

• Foundation Flow: For beginners and those revisiting the basics
• Core Power Pilates: A dynamic class that challenges strength and control
• Stretch & Release: A slower-paced, tension-reducing session ideal for recovery

Alongside Pilates, our weekly yoga classes offer mobility, mindfulness, and calm. Whether you’re moving through a flow or holding grounding postures, yoga is an excellent complement to Pilates — giving the nervous system time to reset while improving flexibility and breath awareness.

A Studio with a Soul — Small Classes, Big Care

When we say boutique, we mean it. Every class is small, focused, and highly personalized. There’s no hiding in the back of a packed room. Instead, you’re supported, seen, and guided with care.

Here’s what makes Anjos Pilates different:

• Just 5 Reformer spots per class
• Only 8 participants per mat or yoga class
• Classes in both English and Portuguese
• Instructors who know your name and your goals
• A judgment-free space that welcomes all bodies, all backgrounds, all levels

Whether you're training consistently or just easing back into movement, you’ll never feel out of place here. This is a space built on community, not competition.

Local Vibe, Global Community

We’re proud to call Rua Maria Andrade 34 home — a vibrant street in Lisbon’s Anjos district known for its creative energy and cultural diversity. We’re only minutes from Anjos and Intendente metro stations, with plenty of trams and buses nearby.

Before or after class, many of our members head to:

• Maria Food Hub – for nourishing, healthy bowls, great coffee, and post-Pilates brunch
• Smooch – the go-to for smoothies and easygoing good vibes

We love that Anjos Pilates has become a meeting point for Lisbon locals, expats, remote workers, and travelers. Whether you’ve just moved here or have lived in the city for years, our studio is a place where people connect through shared movement and a shared love for wellness.

Pilates for Recovery

Anjos Pilates was founded by two athletes who know first-hand the toll that intense physical training can take on the body. One is a former Olympic rower. The other is a competitive freediver who holds multiple national records. Together, they built this studio not only as a space for movement, but as a place for healing, alignment, and recovery.

They discovered Pilates after years of demanding, high-impact training — and realized how crucial it was for rebuilding strength, correcting imbalances, and maintaining performance long-term. Their experience in elite sports shaped a philosophy rooted in sustainable movement, technical precision, and whole-body awareness.

At Anjos Pilates, every detail — from the class size to the instructor training — reflects this lived experience. We don’t do trends. We do timeless movement that supports your body, your goals, and your lifestyle.

FAQ — Everything You Might Be Wondering

What’s the difference between Reformer and Mat Pilates?

Mat Pilates uses bodyweight and minimal props to build core strength and body awareness. Reformer Pilates adds spring resistance and a sliding carriage to create more dynamic, targeted, and adaptable workouts. Both are powerful — and many clients choose to combine them.

Do I need experience to start?

Not at all. We welcome beginners every week. Each class is taught progressively, and our teachers will give you personal guidance as you build confidence.

How do I book?

Visit anjospilates.com to view the live class schedule and book online. Our platform is mobile-friendly and takes just a few taps.

What language are classes taught in?

Most classes are in English, and some teachers also offer instruction in Portuguese. We’re an international community, so you’ll feel at ease regardless of your native tongue.

What should I wear or bring?

Wear comfortable, close-fitting clothing. For Reformer classes, grip socks are encouraged (and available at the studio). Mats and props are provided for all classes.

What’s the cancellation policy?

We ask that you cancel at least 6 hours in advance to keep your class credit. Cancellations after this window may count as a used class.

Can I pause my membership?

Yes! We automatically pause memberships during studio holidays!

Is Pilates good for injury recovery or back pain?

Yes. Many of our clients come to us for exactly this reason. Pilates strengthens deep stabilizing muscles, improves posture, and promotes joint health — all of which support recovery and pain management. Any serious or chronic injuries need to be reported to your instructor before class

Do you offer prenatal Pilates?

Please reach out before booking your first session.

Can I do both yoga and Pilates with the same pass?

Only our Trial can be used across all class types — Reformer, Mat, and yoga — so you can try everything before committing.

After that, class packs and memberships are sold separately for each format. For example, Reformer packs are only valid for Reformer classes, and Mat/yoga packs are for mat-based classes. This helps us manage class sizes and keep your experience consistent.

If you’re unsure which option fits your goals best, feel free to reach out — we’re happy to help.

How many people are in a class?

Maximum 5 for Reformer, 8 for mat and yoga. We keep it small so you get the attention you need.

What if I haven’t exercised in years?

You’re in good hands. Our instructors are trained to support all levels. You’ll be guided step by step — with encouragement, not judgment.
