Balance Pilates

Balance Pilates is a Portuguese boutique Pilates brand with studios across Lisbon, the Setúbal and Leiria regions, Oeiras, Cascais, Porto's Vila Nova de Gaia and Funchal, several of them located inside gyms and fitness clubs. The concept centres on Dynamic Reformer classes in a small-group training format, with an emphasis on fluid, strong and controlled movement.

Group classes come in two levels: Reformer Base, suited to beginners, people recovering from injury, or anyone wanting an effective full-body workout for tone, strength and posture, and Reformer Shape, a faster-paced class with more advanced exercises and intense core work.

Private sessions are also available, with specialised instructors tailoring each workout to the individual's needs, goals and pace. The studios are described as modern, welcoming and sophisticated, with a personalised, boutique feel.
