Equipment

phase-image-changer
The Reformer
The Reformer

is a sliding bed-like machine that uses springs and straps to create varying resistance. It allows you to target small muscle groups, strengthen and stretch your tissues safely. You can play with a wide range of movements. The possible variations are endless compared to mat Pilates classes. Reformer classes are a super efficient way to work the whole body and mobilize your joints while

The Cadillac
The Cadillac

is a specialized, extremely versatile machine with springs, bars, a trapeze and a push through bar.

The Trapeze Tower/Half Cadillac
The Trapeze Tower/Half Cadillac

is a highly versatile addition to the reformer machine that allows you to do the majority of the Cadillac series repertoire. In layman’s terms, you will never get bored, because there are so many possibilities.

The Chair
The Chair

is a much smaller machine with a spring pedal and handles. As the chair requires you to have far less of the body on the machine, you'll have a lot less support and therefore more challenging for balance and stability.

The Barrel
The Barrel

is your spine's best friend. To keep your spine happy and healthy, you need to move it in all directions. The ladder barrel is a large rounded barrel-like apparatus that allows the spine to more easily and gradually move into flexion, extension and side bends. It promotes mobility, flexibility and strength of the spine.

  • "Got a membership as a gift and the classes are fantastic, the teachers are very knowledgeable and able to adapt to different skills/preferences. I’ve done several different reformer studios and this is hands down my favourite even though I live quite far. The customer service from Amy is above and beyond, I can’t recommend enough."

  • "Absolutely the best Pilates reformer studio I've ever been too. The teachers are also nice and attentive and really know their stuff. The reformer equipment is top notch. The location is great. Love everything about this studio."

  • "My first Pilates class in 12 years was wonderful. Karen has calm energy and a solid knowledge of anatomy. The Beginner practice was exactly what I wanted -- long, controlled exercises that focused on joint stabilizers and our deep abdominal core. Can't wait to go again!"

    — Lisa

  • "I can’t say enough good things about Amy and her studio. I was in quite bad shape coming in and Amy made me feel very welcomed and comfortable in her studio. I always leave class feeling better. Location is great too, great way to start the morning with Pilates and then over to Little Victories for a coffee"

    — Kate

  • "I am obsessed!!! I haven’t exercised in years and needed to get back to a fitness routine! Amy was so amazing she made sure my form was perfect and gave us lots of opportunity to either reduce or increase our resistance and difficulty. The studio is very clean and there’s a great vibe and everyone is very supportive. I will definitely be going back!!! If you need a community to support your fitness goals and want to have some fun while getting a great workout I would 100% recommend!!"

    — Kala

  • “After surgery, post-concussion and the “era shall not be named *cough 2020*”, I have become completely sedentary. The ladies at Glebe Pilates are amazing and are assisting me to reverse that to get back to my normal fitness levels, while being sure to accommodate any rest periods I need due to post concussion issues, or knee impact issues. Thank you for being so no nonsense but understanding.“

    — Serena

  • "So incredible that Ottawa has a reformer studio and an amazing one at that, now in the Glebe! Been waiting for this for so long! Pilates with the reformer has become an essential part of my fitness regimen. It makes me feel rejuvenated, strengthened and stretched with each and every session! Highly recommend!"

    — Tanya

  • "This studio is exactly what Ottawa needs! So happy to have this in town. Instructors are knowledgeable, great coaches and come with a fantastic combo of motivation and humour. Such a lovely space and phenomenal workout. Don’t let low impact trick you into thinking it won’t be hard! Hard, with accessibility for all. 🧡"
