Whether you're stepping into your very first Pilates class or returning to a long‑time practice, this is a studio where your body is seen, your goals matter, and the experience is thoughtfully guided.

Reformer Pilates Lisbon — Precision and Progress

Reformer Pilates is a full‑body workout that uses a spring‑loaded machine to build strength, mobility, and control. It’s an excellent choice if you're looking to:

• Strengthen your core
• Improve posture and alignment
• Increase flexibility and balance
• Recover from injury or surgery
• Support back or joint pain
• Develop more awareness in how you move

In our small classes, instructors can give real‑time feedback and offer variations suited to your ability and goals. It’s this hands‑on, technical approach that helps clients see lasting results.

We welcome all levels and guide you through safe, progressive classes that meet you where you are.

Mat Pilates and Yoga — Strength, Alignment, and Calm

While Reformer Pilates is a key part of our offering, we remain deeply committed to mat‑based movement. Mat Pilates builds functional strength and teaches you how to move with control using just your body weight. These classes are ideal for building a solid foundation, improving stability, and enhancing postural awareness.

Class options include:

• Foundation Flow: For beginners or those returning to movement
• Core Power Pilates: A stronger, faster‑paced workout
• Stretch & Release: A slower session focused on mobility and tension relief

Yoga classes offer a moment to slow down and reset. Expect breath‑led movement, deep stretches, and space to reconnect with your body. It’s a beautiful complement to Pilates and a valuable tool for physical and mental balance.

Small Studio. Big Care.

We keep things simple. Fewer people in the room means more space to move, more attention from your teacher, and more meaningful progress over time.

What makes Anjos Pilates different:

• Maximum 5 people in Reformer classes
• Only 8 participants in mat and yoga
• Classes in English and Portuguese
• Thoughtful instruction, free from judgment
• A calm space built for real individuals

From the moment you walk in, you’ll feel it. This is a place to breathe, move, and reconnect.

From High‑Performance Sport to Everyday Movement

Anjos Pilates was founded by two athletes with deep experience in elite sport — a former Olympic rower and a competitive freediver. After years of training, injuries and performance demands, they found Pilates to be the most sustainable and intelligent way to move.

That philosophy runs through every class we teach. Clear instruction, attention to form, and movement that supports your body for the long term.

This isn’t fitness hype. It’s lifelong movement done right.

FAQs — What You Might Be Wondering

Q: Is Reformer Pilates right for beginners?
Yes! We teach progressively and provide guidance for every level. Many clients start with no previous experience in Reformer and still feel confident after their first classes.

Q: What’s the difference between Mat and Reformer Pilates?
Mat Pilates uses bodyweight and minimal props to improve core strength and body awareness. Reformer Pilates, on the other hand, uses a spring‑loaded machine with a sliding carriage to create dynamic resistance. It allows for more varied exercises, additional support and challenge, and can accelerate results in strength, mobility and alignment.

Q: Can I combine Reformer Pilates and Mat Pilates in one week?
Absolutely. Many of our clients mix formats. For example, you might do a Reformer class early in the week for resistance and strength, then a Mat or Yoga class later on for mobility and recovery. This combo approach often gives balanced benefits: more control and longevity in your movement.

Q: What should I wear or bring?
Wear comfortable, well‑fitting clothing that allows movement. For Reformer Pilates, grip socks are encouraged (and available if you don’t have them). Mats and small props are provided for Mat classes. Staying hydrated and arriving a few minutes early is always helpful.

Q: What language are the classes taught in?
Our instructors are bilingual and we teach in both English and Portuguese. You can join regardless of your native tongue. Our community includes locals, expats and visitors — everyone is welcome.

Q: How big are the classes?
Maximum of 5 for Reformer classes and 8 for Mat or Yoga classes. These small group sizes mean you receive more individual attention, better feedback, and safer progress.

Q: What’s your cancellation policy?
We request you cancel at least 12 hours before the class to retain your credit. Cancelling after that window will count as a used class. This helps us keep consistency in class sizes and availability.

Q: Can I pause my membership?
Yes. If you need to pause your membership. We automatically pause memberships during studio holidays.

Q: Do you offer private sessions?
Yes. Private sessions are perfect for:

• Prenatal/postnatal Pilates
• Injury recovery and rehabilitation
• Beginners who want an extra layer of confidence
• Athletes seeking targeted training or cross‑training

Q: What if I haven’t exercised in years?
You’re in good hands. Our instructors are experienced in working with clients returning to movement after long breaks. We start slowly, focus on technique and build your strength and stamina progressively over time.

Q: Is Pilates good for injury recovery or back pain?
Yes. Pilates strengthens deep stabilising muscles, improves posture and joint health. It supports movement patterns that protect your body long term. Many of our clients join Reformer Pilates Lisbon classes precisely to manage chronic aches, improve posture or rebuild strength after injury.

Q: How do I book and when should I arrive?
You can book online at anjospilates.com or via our app. Arrive about 10 minutes before class to check in, get comfortable and ensure you’re settled. For your first class, it’s helpful to arrive a little early so we can show you the equipment and adjust to the environment.

Deep Dive: Why Reformer Pilates Lisbon Delivers Real Change

Technical precision is at the heart of what we do. Reformer Pilates uses a resistance‑based system (springs, carriage, footbars) that allows you to move more intentionally, access deeper muscles and correct movement imbalances faster. Compared to standard gym workouts, Reformer Pilates in Lisbon at Anjos gives you a controlled environment where you can safely challenge yourself, refine posture and build a sustainable body.

Mind‑body connection is reinforced. As original Pilates creator Joseph Pilates emphasised control, precision and breath through chemical studies. At our studio, every class focuses on how you move, how you breathe and how you feel inside your body — it’s not just exercise, it’s thoughtful movement.

Small‑group, high‑touch classes ensure your progress is safe and effective. With limited spots, instructors can correct your form, offer modifications and adapt exercise to your goals — whether that’s posture, performance or recovery.

Recovery and longevity matter. Many clients join after years of high‑impact activity or with chronic issues. The Reformer pilates Lisbon experience at Anjos is designed not just for immediate effects but for long‑term body health and resilience. The method supports alignment, balance and control — fundamental to staying active as you age.

Community and consistency go together. This isn’t just a studio where you show up, do the workout and leave. It’s a place where you’ll feel seen, supported and part of a movement community in Lisbon. That consistency – week after week – is where real change happens.

Beyond the Reformer: Movement That Fits Your Life

We believe Reformer Pilates Lisbon should integrate seamlessly with your everyday life — not stay locked in the studio. That means our programming emphasises functional movement: how you sit, walk, lift, carry, even spend time at a desk. We also include mobility‑focused Mat Pilates and yoga to restore, unwind and build resilience.

Clients consistently tell us that after several weeks:

• Their posture improves
• They stand taller, walk with more ease
• Everyday tasks feel smoother (e.g. picking up children, carrying bags, reaching overhead)
• Back and joint discomfort reduce significantly
