Where to do Pilates in Copenhagen

Pilates is a powerful, low-impact full body workout that strengthens muscles, improves posture, and boosts flexibility. Created in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates to help injured dancers rebuild strength and mobility, pilates was 

once called “Contrology” for its focus on precision and control.

Now, Pilates is a global movement celebrated for its core-focused, mindful approach. Be it on the mat or reformer, with consistent practice, Pilates transforms your posture, balance, muscle tone, and core strength, making it a go-to for a strong, flexible, and aligned body. 


Here are the top Pilates studios in Copenhagen for reformer classes, mat Pilates, private classes, and more:
