More sweat, more strength, more power

BOOK NOW

The first to combine Infrared and Reformer Pilates

Step into a room charged with infrared heat. Your body responds faster, the workout feels deeper, and the intensity builds naturally. The result is a stronger, hotter Reformer class that stands apart in Amsterdam.

Infrared Reformer Pilates elevates our signature high intensity workout in a refined and controlled way. The room does not glow red and this is not red light therapy. The heat is subtle, even, and designed to help you feel stronger and more confident from the inside out.

Why Infrared?

Infrared heat warms the body from the inside out, allowing muscles to move more freely and work more efficiently. The added heat slightly increases heart rate and workout intensity, supporting a higher calorie burn.

Improved lymphatic response

Infrared warmth encourages earlier sweating and supports movement within the lymphatic system. Research links this to more efficient detoxification and a deeper sense of release after class.

Improved circulation + faster recovery

Infrared enhances microcirculation and reduces inflammation. The result: quicker muscle recovery and a lighter, clearer feeling post-class.

Higher calorie burn without added impact

Infrared raises your heart rate gently and naturally. Research links this to improved cardiovascular conditioning and increased calorie burn.

Increased mobility and safer movement

Warm tissue moves better. Infrared heat improves flexibility and joint mobility, supported by scientific research.

Increased calorie burn without added impact

The gentle heat naturally elevates your heart rate while movements remain controlled and low impact. Combined with resistance-based Reformer work, this results in higher energy expenditure without placing extra stress on the joints.

A calming effect on the nervous system

The steady warmth of infrared heat can have a grounding effect on the nervous system. Many clients experience a sense of focus and calm during class, followed by a relaxed yet energized feeling afterwards. This balance between intensity and recovery is part of what makes the experience feel both challenging and restorative.

Deeper muscle activation and improved flexibility

Infrared heat warms muscles efficiently, allowing them to lengthen and contract with greater ease. This supports deeper muscle engagement and improved flexibility, helping you move through exercises with better range and control.

Faster muscle recovery and reduced soreness

Infrared supports microcirculation and helps the body manage inflammation more effectively. This can contribute to quicker muscle recovery and less post-workout soreness, allowing you to train consistently and feel ready for your next session sooner.
