“We don’t just fit anyone in for a buck,” says Rachel Schklar, who co-owns the Richmond Hill studio—one of the largest Pilates studios at 3,000 square feet—with her sister Lisa. Of the 50 or so classes offered each week, most are geared to intermediate- or advanced-level training, and if you’re thinking of joining, a $70 placement assessment—50 per cent of which is applied to a future class—is required before you’re slotted in. Six Reformers, nine chairs and two Cadillacs are reserved for intermediate and advanced classes; beginners must first conquer two levels of mat routines before they’re allowed on the equipment. There are no drop-in classes, but registration is ongoing and progressive; a nine to one student to instructor ratio means no one gets off easy—especially during The Hundred.
How much:
eight weekly group mat classes $175, semi-private classes $50, private classes $73; discount packages available.
