Fancy dangling from hoops and silks while getting a darn good workout?

These workouts help you to stretch, strengthen and tone, with less pressure on your joints. If you don’t relish the idea of hanging mid air, try out the studio’s Reformer Cardio Sculpt instead, a 55-minute class that combines dance with pilates.
