How to choose a Pilates class near you

The closest studio is not automatically the right one. Check four things before booking:

1. Travel time: Can you reach the studio easily before or after work?
2. Training style: Do you want Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates or private coaching?
3. Class size: Smaller groups usually allow more individual corrections.
4. A realistic schedule: A good class only helps if its time fits your week.

Templeshape is at Manessestrasse 120 in Zurich Wiedikon, within easy reach of Enge, Selnau and districts 2, 3 and 4. Our Pilates classes are small and Matwork-based, with a focus on core strength, posture, mobility and controlled movement.

Pilates in district 1: Old Town and city centre

1. PilaTess

PilaTess is an option for private Pilates sessions in Zurich’s Old Town. The one-to-one format suits people who want close attention and a gradual training plan.

Templeshape also offers personal training and private Pilates sessions if Wiedikon is more convenient.

2. Piz Pilates

Piz Pilates is in the eastern part of district 1. It may suit you if you already have some Pilates experience or want to work more closely on technique.

3. BODYART

BODYART combines Pilates with fitness and mindfulness. It is worth considering if you want several training formats in one central location.

4. FORM Studio

FORM Studio focuses on Reformer Pilates in a modern, central setting. If equipment-based Pilates is your priority, this is one of the specialised options in district 1.

Pilates in district 2: Enge and the lakeside

5. Pilatesbyme

Pilatesbyme is near Rieterpark and offers both Mat and Reformer Pilates. Its location is practical for people based around Enge, Wollishofen or the lake.

6. Fitvibe Studio Zurich

Fitvibe combines Reformer Pilates, classical Pilates and stretching. It can work well if you want to add mobility sessions to your Pilates routine.

7. BASI Pilates Studio

BASI Pilates Studio uses equipment such as the Reformer and Cadillac and also offers Barre. Consider it if apparatus-based training and a method-led approach matter to you.

Pilates in district 3: Wiedikon and Sihlfeld

8. Templeshape CITY

Templeshape is not a Reformer studio. Our Pilates classes take place on the mat, sometimes with small props, and focus on core control, posture, mobility and strength. Small groups give the coach time to correct your technique.

You can combine Pilates with Bootcamp, Breathwork or other CITY classes through the same membership.

Address: Health Temple CITY, Manessestrasse 120, 8045 Zurich Wiedikon

9. Pilates Plana

Pilates Plana is a local option in Wiedikon. Check availability directly, as smaller studios may not always have open places in every class.

10. NY Pilates Wiedikon

NY Pilates is another district 3 option with a more personal format than a large fitness chain. It may suit people looking for local Pilates coaching.

Pilates in district 4: Aussersihl

Celine Bardy

Celine Bardy offers Mat and Reformer Pilates in district 4. This is a local option if you live or work in Aussersihl and want both formats available.

Atman Studio

Atman Studio is also in district 4. Its programme leans more towards Yoga, with Pilates as part of the wider class offer.

Mat Pilates or Reformer Pilates?

Reformer Pilates uses a machine with a moving carriage, springs and adjustable resistance. Mat Pilates relies on body weight, precise technique and sometimes small props such as rings, balls or bands.

Neither format is automatically better. Reformer may appeal if you specifically want machine resistance. Mat Pilates is easy to integrate into group classes and develops control without relying on a large apparatus. At Templeshape, we teach Mat Pilates only. If Reformer is essential to you, use our Zurich Reformer comparison to find a specialised provider.

Does Templeshape offer Reformer Pilates?

No. Templeshape offers Mat Pilates in small groups. Sessions take place on the mat and may use small props. For Reformer Pilates, choose a specialised equipment studio.

Is Mat Pilates suitable for beginners?

Yes. A small class with clear coaching makes it easier to learn alignment, breathing and controlled movement. Tell the coach about injuries or medical restrictions before class.

A nearby Pilates class should fit your week

A useful comparison ends with one practical question: which class will you attend consistently? Location, timetable, training style and the quality of coaching matter more than a long list of studio features.

If Wiedikon, Enge or districts 2–4 are convenient, start with a Mat Pilates class at Templeshape CITY. If you want equipment-based training, choose a dedicated Reformer studio instead.
