At Equal, we love movement that makes you feel strong, connected, and empowered. That’s why we offer two unique Pilates experiences in our studios in Amsterdam and Utrecht: Hot Pilates and Power Pilates.
Both classes are:

While they share a strong foundation, each class offers a distinct vibe, temperature, and focus. So, what’s the difference? Let’s break it down:
💦 Hot Pilates – Sweaty, steady, focused | 32°C
