Yoga Pilates Barre Reformer

Pilates is a holistic body workout to strengthen muscles, primarily pelvic floor, abdominal and back muscles. It combines breathing, strength exercises, coordination and stretching in harmonious movements. Pilates is aimed at all those who appreciate targeted core training and powerful movements. Our courses are designed for every fitness level — from beginners to advanced. With a focus on posture and muscle strengthening, Pilates helps you to increase your physical strength and flexibility and to shape your body holistically.

We have several Reformer Pilates Studios in various locations as well as a Pilates, Barre & Strength Studio in the Belgian Quarter in Cologne. Each studio follows the same training standards, but has its own character. You can find all locations at yttp.de/locations.

Reformer Pilates is an intensive, holistic body workout that is carried out on a special device — the reformer. Through precise exercises on the reformer, your deep muscles, strength, flexibility and body control are effectively strengthened. It is suitable for beginners to advanced users and adapts to every level.

YTTP isn't just about movement, it's about real change. Our studios are deliberately designed differently so that we can surprise you in each and every one. Each class is well thought out, clearly structured and designed to make you feel stronger, more upright and more connected to your body after a workout.

In our mat studio in the Belgian Quarter, we offer classes such as Pilates, Barre and Strength. All mats are provided by us here — you don't have to bring anything with you. Active recovery yoga sessions are also occasionally held there.

For noticeable results, we recommend taking Reformer Pilates classes 2-3 times a week. This way, you will see faster progress in strength, posture and mobility.

Reformer Pilates is a special form of Pilates that is performed on a device called a “reformer.” Through precise exercises on the reformer, we strengthen your deep muscles and promote your mobility — ideal for anyone looking for a demanding and effective full body workout. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, our reformer training adapts to your level and brings you to your personal goal.

No prior experience is required to start Reformer Pilates at YTTP. However, we recommend beginning with YTTP Modern Reformer – Fundamentals. In this class, you'll learn all the basics, how to safely use the Reformer, and the most important movement principles and techniques. This will provide an optimal foundation for all subsequent classes.

Our Modern Reformer program guides you step-by-step – from the basics to the ultimate challenge. YTTP Modern Reformer – Fundamentals is your introduction to the Reformer. In this 50-minute class, you'll learn the fundamentals: how to use the equipment, precise movements, mindful pacing, as well as control and technique. The challenge lies in the details – perfect for beginners or anyone looking to refine their form. YTTP Modern Reformer builds on Fundamentals and adds more intensity to your workout. By using props, movements become more complex and transitions smoother. The focus is on stability, strength, and control. For an optimal experience, we recommend attending Fundamentals at least three times. YTTP Modern Reformer – Strength is designed for those who have already mastered the Reformer. Expect creative sequences, dynamic transitions, and new challenges. Here, the focus is on muscular endurance, rhythm, and athletic flow – for anyone looking to challenge themselves at a new level.

Our studios are designed for efficient and focused training. Please note that there are no showers on site, so plan your training accordingly.

Very good, actually. Many from our community combine reformers Pilates with weight training, running, or barre. Reformer Pilates helps you to train more stably, flexibly and in a more balanced way.

If you have any health restrictions, you should check with your doctor before participating whether participating in our Pilates, Reformer or Strength courses is suitable for you. It is possible that your doctor will advise you against individual exercises. So that our well-trained teachers can offer you suitable alternatives for the exercises, it is important that we talk about your limitations together. As with every participant, you should pay particular attention to yourself.
