Intensity & Challenge Verdict

It was a hard heavy class and requires balance while on the treadmill
Slow paced score except the intro warm up but that was just a quick blast
Good level of music, enough to inspire but low enough to hear the instructor queue
Clean amenity area with nice branded stuff but a change at home kind of place
A good number of reformers available 20+ most have ergometers but there are a few bikes
Very lovely welcome from the manager and the instructor Isaac was fab and funny

Strong Pilates Yorkville Review – Another Strong Pilates studio, a very different class taken. Strong Loaded was the class and loaded with weights it was! It was more of a weight class than reformers. It started with warm up cardio and that was the cardio for the class. Then it was to the reformer where we did some moves for about 10 minutes but the bulk of the class was heavy weights both on the floor and on the reformer!! My legs were burning like there was no tomorrow and standing on the machine doing weights was great for the core! Normally, Strong Pilates is a mix of cardio ergometer (rowing machine) or bike, then a smattering of Reformer moves. I was not sure where to categorise it but left under Pilates for now as the main category.

The class has two instructors and also had the video screens that you can refer to for the movements if in doubt. The music was pumping, the energy was good and the instructor and studio manager were very nice in their greeting and fun motivating instruction.
