What classical Pilates equipment will I see?
Every class uses traditional apparatus that follows the original Pilates method. You will find Reformers lined along one wall, Cadillacs at the back, Chairs positioned for precise control work, Fuse Ladders for vertical strength and flexibility, and plenty of space for Matwork. Each piece is maintained to the highest standard so the springs, straps, and padding feel consistent from the first class to the hundredth.
How many people attend each class?
We keep every group session to a maximum of five people. This small number lets the instructor see every movement clearly and give direct feedback throughout the class. Whether you join a Reformer session, a Chair class, or Matwork, the limited numbers create a focused atmosphere where everyone can work at their own pace without feeling crowded.
What are the opening hours at Pilates Academy Arjan?
The studio opens Monday to Friday from 7 AM to 10 PM and Saturday and Sunday from 9 AM to 5 PM. These long hours make it easy to fit a session into busy schedules across Arjan, Al Barsha South, Dubai Hills, Motor City, Dubai Sports City, JVC and JVT. You can book through Glofox online or through the app at any time.
What types of classes are available?
We offer group classes on all the classical apparatus plus Matwork. Private and Duet classes give more personal attention when needed. Teen Group Classes run specifically for ages 12 to 18 so younger students can learn the method safely in a dedicated setting. All classes stay true to classical principles and use the Reformers, Cadillacs, Chairs, Fuse Ladders and mats you see on the Pilates in Al Barsha South page.
Where is the studio located and who runs it?
The full address is Building 88, Shop 05, Al Barsha South Third (Arjan), Dubai with landmark code 366R+67. The studio is operated by Atelier Core Body Building Club L.L.C, an independent franchisee of the Pilates Academy brand.

How much do classes cost and what packages exist?
Three classes cost AED 300 including 5% VAT. The Monthly Commitment Package starts from AED 1,499 per month. Many new visitors begin with the trial package to test the equipment and the small class format before choosing a longer plan. Booking is simple through Glofox either on the website or in the app.
What does a typical session feel like at the studio?
Each session begins with a calm arrival in the bright, open space of Building 88. Soft natural light and quiet music set a peaceful tone before the instructor greets every participant by name and checks their goals for the day.
The flow follows classical sequencing that moves smoothly from apparatus to apparatus. Instructors guide the group through precise exercises on the Reformer then transition to the Cadillac or Chair without rushing. Every movement builds on the last to create balanced strength and control.
Breathing and rhythm stay consistent across the entire class. The small group size means the instructor can adjust tempo or spring resistance instantly so the entire session feels unified yet personal. Clients often comment on how the focused energy in the room helps them stay present.
By the end participants leave feeling lengthened and energized rather than exhausted. The atmosphere encourages steady progress week after week as the same classical principles are applied with care in every single session at our Arjan location. (191 words)
