Chair Pilates Classes in Vancouver
By Appointment Only
When you hear “Pilates,” you might think of mats, Reformers, and those fancy spring-loaded machines—but let us introduce you to another powerhouse tool in the Pilates world: the Pilates Chair. This unassuming piece of equipment packs a serious punch, whether you’re a seasoned pro or just dipping your toes into the Pilates pool.
​
Why the Chair?
Think of the Pilates Chair as a compact workout station that targets your entire body—from arms and core to glutes and legs—without taking up much space. It’s a great way to build strength, improve balance, and challenge your stability, all while feeling supported. The Chair might look small, but the benefits are anything but.
​
Perfect for All Levels
-
New to Pilates? The Chair provides just enough assistance to keep things safe while offering plenty of challenge to help you grow.
-
Experienced mover? You’ll love the added resistance and variety that Chair exercises bring to your routine.
What to Expect from Chair Pilates Sessions
-
Targeted Core Work
Because the Chair is slightly raised, you can really focus on your core engagement—hello, stronger abs and better posture! -
Full-Body Challenge
From press-down pedals to various handholds, you’ll get a complete strength-and-stretch workout without needing a ton of floor space. -
Enhanced Balance & Stability
The elevated design means your stabilizer muscles are working overtime to keep you steady—great for improving athletic performance or simply walking with more confidence. -
Gentle on Joints
Despite the Chair’s reputation for delivering a serious burn (in the best way), it’s still easy on your knees and ankles. You can adjust the springs to scale exercises up or down, depending on your comfort level. -
Fun & Versatile
Changing up your workout routine keeps things interesting. With Chair Pilates, you’ll discover a bunch of creative moves that can’t be done on a traditional mat or Reformer.
Benefits of Chair Pilates
Let’s face it: there are lots of ways to “do Pilates.” But what sets Chair Pilates apart? Here are a few compelling reasons:
-
It’s a Whole-Body Workout in Half the Space
The Chair may look small, but it challenges every major muscle group. From abs to glutes and everything in between, you’ll feel this workout in a good way—and you don’t need an entire studio’s worth of room to make it happen. -
Next-Level Balance & Stability
Because you’re working with the Chair’s pedals, you’re naturally pushed to engage those stabilizer muscles—especially around your core and joints. This is how Chair Pilates quietly upgrades your balance and helps bulletproof your body against everyday slips and stumbles. -
Adjustable for All Fitness Levels
The spring tension can go up or down depending on how much support or challenge you’re craving. Feeling ambitious? Dial the springs tighter. Easing in? Loosen them up for a smoother entry point. It’s basically Pilates with a built-in “choose your own adventure” dial. -
Gentle on Joints, Kind to Injuries
Chair Pilates offers a supportive, vertical stance that can be a lifesaver if you’re dealing with knee, hip, or back issues. Think of it as giving your body a friendly assist while still delivering a serious strength boost where you need it most.

"I've never done pilates before and was a bit nervous that I wouldn't be able to do some exercises because I have problems with one of my knees.
...I really appreciated how she was able to quickly make some exercises easier for me if I was having problems doing one.
She made me feel so welcome and is truly is such a great instructor... I will definitely be going back again to see her."
