Why we use Allegro 2 Reformers

Our equipment is not an afterthought, it’s a core part of how we deliver high-quality Reformer Pilates here in Lisbon. That's why our studio is equipped with Allegro 2 Reformers, alongside premium mat and resistance tools, creating a the best Pilates experience  few studios in Lisbon  offer.

The Technical Advantage of Allegro 2 Reformers

The Allegro 2 Reformer is engineered for precision, stability, and longevity. Built with a commercial-grade aluminum frame, it offers significantly greater structural integrity than lighter or entry-level reformers. This added stability minimises vibration and unwanted movement, allowing you to work with more control and accuracy.

The reformer’s precision-balanced carriage system delivers an ultra-smooth glide with minimal friction. This is essential for controlled eccentric work, smooth transitions and for maintaining optimal alignment. These are key elements often compromised on lower-quality reformers.

‍

The wider carriage on our Allegra 2 offers an enhanced standing platform that improves balance and safety during standing, single-leg, and dynamic movements, making sessions more effective and safer.

A Boutique Reformer Pilates Studio in Lisbon

Currently, only two Pilates studios in Lisbon use Allegro 2 Reformers. At Anjos Pilates, this investment reflects our philosphy: a small studio with high-quality classes and high-quality equipment. Smaller class sizes allow instructors to fully utilise the technical capabilities of the reformer while providing personalised corrections and progression.

Our Mat Studio Equipment is also Premium

Our commitment to quality extends beyond the reformer. In our mat Pilates sessions, we use Lululemon Pilates mats, chosen for their superior grip, hygenie and cushioning. These mats support spinal alignment, joint comfort as well as stability.

To increase resistance, we've incorporate Bala Bangles hand weights and ankle weights. Unlike traditional weights, Bala Bangles distribute load evenly, allowing for added challenge without disrupting alignment or movement flow. Plus we think they look quite good!

We hope to see you in our Reforemer and Mat Studio soon!
