This summer, Aspria Arts-Loi is enhancing its wellness offering with the arrival of Reformer Pilates – a discipline as elegant as it is effective. If you’re looking for a full-body workout that’s gentle on the joints but powerful for posture, toning and mental well-being, you’ve come to the right place.
A Proven Method
Pilates isn’t a trend – it’s a century-old method created by Joseph Pilates, and it continues to win over elite athletes and wellness seekers alike. At the heart of this method is the Reformer: an iconic machine with a minimalist yet sophisticated design, featuring springs, straps and a sliding carriage. It allows for deep, precise and highly controlled movement.
The result? You strengthen stabilising muscles, streamline your silhouette, improve posture, breathing and mobility… and achieve a true mind-body connection.
Why Now at Aspria Arts-Loi?
For months, our teams tested various machines. There was no room for compromise – we didn’t just want to have Reformers, we wanted the best. Machines that deliver on safety, performance, comfort and fluidity. The kind you find in the world’s most prestigious studios.
That’s why we chose Merrithew®, the global leader in Pilates equipment, known for its exclusive partnership with STOTT Pilates, the world’s largest Pilates education organisation.
“Excellence takes time. We chose to wait, to test, to compare – and above all, to train our instructors thoroughly. Today, we’re proud to offer a Reformer Pilates experience that rivals the best specialist studios, in a setting that’s uniquely Aspria.” Xavier Peirels, Studio Coordinator, Aspria Arts-Loi
Reformer Pilates: Who Is It For? And Why?
Reformer Pilates focuses on control, quality of movement, and alignment – which is exactly what makes it both remarkably effective and accessible.
Already tried mat Pilates?
Get ready to rediscover the method from a whole new perspective. The Reformer lets you explore new angles, adjust resistance, and go deeper into the sensations.
Dealing with back, hip or shoulder pain?
Reformer Pilates is often recommended in functional rehabilitation programmes, thanks to its respect for the body’s biomechanics. It’s also a powerful tool for preventing chronic pain.
An active or athletic lifestyle?
The Reformer strengthens the core, enhances coordination and improves flexibility – all while reducing the risk of injury. It’s the perfect complement to any other type of training.
The Aspria Experience: More Than Just a Class
Doing Reformer Pilates at Aspria is about more than just a workout. It’s an opportunity to slow down and connect with yourself in a space designed for total well-being.
Classes are kept small, fostering a calm atmosphere where everyone can progress at their own pace. Our instructors, rigorously trained by STOTT Pilates, guide every movement with precision and care. The Merrithew® equipment provides an unparalleled sense of fluidity and comfort.
From launch this summer, nine beginner classes will be offered each week. And that’s just the beginning: as demand grows, intermediate and advanced levels will follow – always led by experts trained in the latest techniques of contemporary Pilates.
All of this unfolds in a peaceful environment, tucked away from the urban hustle, right in the heart of the European Quarter. And after your session? Keep the calm going: a treatment at the Spa, a few laps in the pool or a balanced lunch on the Café terrace are the perfect complements to your practice.
