The Best Pilates Studios & Classes In Hong Kong

Whether you’re a total beginner or a Pilates pro, here are the best studios in Hong Kong offering traditional mat Pilates classes, resistance-based reformer machine sessions and more.

Often thought of in conjunction with yoga (an ancient holistic discipline), Pilates is a more modern and thoroughly physical system. Devised by German physical trainer Joseph Pilates, this mind-body exercise improves strength, flexibility, and posture, emphasising your core. It’s practised worldwide including, of course, in Hong Kong. Ahead, we’ve rounded up the best studios offering Pilates, with everything from traditional mat-based classes to sessions using resistance-based reformer machines, Gyrotonic, Stability Chairs and more.
