Reformer Pilates, Mat Pilates or Hot Pilates

The popularity of Pilates is growing fast. More and more women are discovering how good it feels to move with awareness and intention. At bbb health boutique, we help women become stronger, more flexible and balanced — in a way that truly fits their bodies.

We’re often asked: “What’s the difference between Reformer Pilates, Mat Pilates and Hot Pilates?”
Let’s break it down — and explain why our approach aligns better with what many women really need.

What Is Reformer Pilates?

Reformer Pilates is an intensive and highly technical form of Pilates performed on a large piece of equipment with a sliding platform, springs and straps.
The resistance makes the workout powerful and effective — but also complex.

For many beginners, reformer pilates can feel challenging and overwhelming. Finding the right posture, coordinating movement with breath — it requires time, technique and experience.

At bbb health boutique, we believe your body first needs to feel, stabilize and build confidence before adding complexity.
That’s why we offer a more accessible, feminine and mindful approach to Pilates.

Mat Pilates at bbb health boutique

Our Pilates classes are designed especially for women and focus on body awareness, posture, stability and inner strength.

You train on a mat, using light weights or a small ball, in a calm and supportive setting. The movements are smooth, controlled and always adapted to your personal level.

While reformer pilates can sometimes feel distant or technical, Mat Pilates at bbb feels personal, nurturing and deeply effective.
You build strength from within, improve your posture and find more balance in your entire body.

After just a few weeks, many women notice they feel stronger, taller and more energized — without any pressure or competition.

Hot Pilates: Warmth, Softness and Depth

Our Hot Pilates is one of the most loved workouts at bbb health boutique.
You train in a heated cabin of around 40°C, allowing your muscles to loosen up and your body to release toxins more easily.

The exercises are pilates-based, with the same focus on core strength, breath and mindful control. The warmth adds something truly special: deep relaxation, detoxification and emotional release.

Many women describe Hot Pilates as a mini wellness retreat with real impact: you sweat, you relax, and you leave feeling completely recharged.
