The Science
Why Train In The Heat?
A deep, cleansing sweat
Infrared warmth brings on a deep, steady sweat that leaves you feeling refreshed and glowing after class.
Mental clarity and stress relief
The heat triggers endorphin release and reduces cortisol. Each session doubles as a moving meditation.
Elevated calorie burn
The heart works harder in the heat, reaching cardio levels even in slow, deliberate movements.
A calming, focused finish
Slow breathing and a warm, quiet room help you close every class feeling calm and centred.
Warm, supple muscles
Gentle heat helps muscles feel warm and pliable, so you can ease into each movement with more comfort.
Heat isn't for everyone. Check with your doctor if you're pregnant or have a heart condition.

How hot is the room?
Our studio is heated to around 90°F with infrared panels, which warm you directly rather than heating the air. Most people find it comfortable, even on their first visit.
Will I be able to handle the heat?
Most new clients are surprised how quickly they adapt. If you feel light-headed, lie down on your mat, breathe and sip water. Rest whenever you need to, and never push through pain.
Is hot Pilates safe for me?
It is safe for most healthy adults. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, have cardiovascular conditions, or any heat sensitivity, and tell your instructor before class.
What if I feel unwell during class?
Pause and rest on your mat, sip your water, or step out for a moment. Your instructor is there to support you — let them know how you are feeling.
