Wunda Chair

Built for balance, stability, and serious strength. This compact apparatus may be small, but it challenges the entire body.

( 1 / 7 )

Cadillac

The centerpiece of any Pilates studio. The springs, bars, and trapeze give access to the full body, decompressing the spine and lengthening the body head to toe.

Small Barrel

An antidote to the modern lifestyle. This apparatus looks simple, but it opens the chest, lengthens the spine, and undoes the tension that sitting, screens, and stress leave behind.

( 3 / 7 )

Spine Corrector

Designed to restore and support the natural curves of the spine. Its versatility makes it a quick favorite, from improving posture and recovering from back pain to challenging alignment and deep strength in the spine and abdominals.

( 4 / 7 )

Ladder Barrel

A tool for anyone looking to build range of motion alongside core strength. Its repertoire supports deep hip, hamstring, and spinal mobility that active movers can feel in everything they do.

( 5 / 7 )

Ped-O-Pull

Standing tall and moving with purpose. This upright, freestanding apparatus trains the upper and lower body while engaging the entire postural chain, carrying the work of Pilates into how we stand, move, and live.

( 6 / 7 )

Reformer

The Reformer is having a moment, and for good reason. It supports, challenges, and lengthens the body, with results you feel from the first session. It refines movement quality, deepens body awareness, and gives an instructor precise access to work the body. It’s a cornerstone of any serious Pilates practice.

20 years of pilates

Pilates has been part of Life Time for 20 years. Our instructors bring that experience to every session, helping members build strength, improve mobility, and move better for life.

Joseph Pilates built his method on precision and control. We honor that foundation with the full apparatus the method was built around, teaching every movement with the same intention.

Whatever your age, experience, or fitness level, we have a place for you. Pilates works alongside the way you already train, adding strength, stability, and control to your routine.

Every session is led by an instructor with a Pilates certification, backed by formal education and ample hands-on experience.

How this exercise modality can help you move better for longer.

What is private Pilates, and how is it different from a class?

Private Pilates is a one-on-one session with an expert instructor, in 25 or 50 minutes. Your instructor watches how you move, directs your focus where it is needed, and adjusts the work as your strength and control grow. Semi-private sessions bring in three to four others for a 50-minute session.

How much does Pilates cost at Life Time?

Cost depends on your club location and your instructor, as well as the session length and format you choose. Private and semi-private Pilates are an additional fee on top of dues, and your club can share current fees. Your first session is on us: the Intro to Pilates is complimentary for new members.

Is Pilates hard? Is it right for beginners?

Pilates is for everyone, and you don’t need any experience to begin. Every session starts with movements that feel good and build your confidence, then gradually grows as you do. You’ll always be working at a pace that’s right for you.

How do I get started with Pilates?

Start with the complimentary Intro to Pilates, a 50-minute private session for new members. Your instructor introduces the equipment and shows how Pilates can support your mobility and strength goals. No experience is needed.
