GROUP CLASSES
Village West Pilates group classes combine time-tested Pilates methods with modern techniques to deliver real results. Originally developed by Joseph Pilates, it’s stood the test of time and is now backed by modern research that highlights its effectiveness in building core stability, muscular endurance, and neuromuscular control.
Each session strengthens the body through both concentric and eccentric muscle contractions, promoting balanced muscle tone, joint support, improved posture, flexibility, and functional movement. With just 8 reformers in our group studio, our classes strike the perfect balance—not too big, not too small. Think Goldilocks, but with better core strength.
