Start your new 2026 habit with the trending "Machine Pilates"

Gaining attention among K-pop idols and models, and now a hot topic for top athletes and business professionals, "Machine Pilates" is here. pilates K, based on the concept of "Serious Body Makeover from Age 30," is a studio that offers group lessons set to music using the specialized pilates machine, the "Reformer." Having already gained strong support from women in the Otsu and Kusatsu areas of Shiga Prefecture, we are now opening our 3rd location in the prefecture to better serve the lifestyles of those in the Koto area. ■ Three Features of pilates K 1. Programs Specialized for Body Makeover We offer a wide range of programs focusing on areas of concern for women, such as the "stomach," "hips," "upper arms," and "back." The group lesson format, where you move to music, dispels the image of pilates being dull or overly strenuous. Since the machine supports your body's movements, even beginners can exercise with proper form without strain. 2. Music x Pilates Programs We adopt a group lesson format that moves in sync with music. We provide a variety of programs specialized for body sculpting, creating an environment where it is easy to enjoy and maintain your routine. 3. Stylish Space The interior is a simple, sophisticated, and mature space based on gray tones. We have focused on an interior design that elevates your aesthetic sense the moment you step into the studio. You can forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and spend a neutral time focusing on your own body.
