Reformer pilates for women in Antwerp, at every stage.

See what we offer

Session by session, or a guided programme.

You choose what fits. Individual sessions that we shape around what you need that day, or one of our programmes built around a specific stage: prenatal and postnatal pilates through pregnancy and the months after, or the transition into menopause.

Tessa

Founder & instructor

Tessa teaches reformer pilates to women in Antwerp, in a studio where there are never more than two people at a time. Polestar certified, over 400 hours of training, specialising in pre- and postnatal work.

No fixed programme, but guidance that moves with you. You build strength in your deep muscles, your posture and your stamina, and along the way you learn to read your body better. Tessa watches, corrects where needed, and often sees before you do that there is more in you.

Strength doesn’t come from forcing. It comes from repetition done right.

Frequently asked questions.

Which option suits me?+
It depends on where you are. If you want complete privacy and all the attention on you, choose a private session. If you would rather come with someone, duo is cheaper and easier to keep up. If you are pregnant or have just given birth, or you are moving towards menopause, we work with a programme built around that stage. Not sure? Start with a conversation and we will work it out together.
I have never been on a reformer. Can I do this?+
Yes. We start where you are, not at a level you are supposed to reach. The reformer works with adjustable resistance, so the machine adapts to you rather than the other way around. Many women start here with no experience at all.
How long is a session, and what should I wear?+

A session lasts around 55 minutes. Your first one starts with a short intake: we look at how you move and what you are after, then we get to work on the reformer. Sportswear you can move freely in is all you need. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your session; payment by bank transfer, Payconiq or cash.

What does it cost?+
A private session costs €70, with bundles of 5 or 10 sessions that work out cheaper per session, down to €66. Duo starts at €46 per session per person. The pregnancy and menopause programmes are built on the same session rates, adjusted to the length of your programme.
How do I start?+
You book your first session. It starts with a short intake: we look together at where you are, how you move and what you are after, and then we get to work on the reformer. A message on WhatsApp is enough to begin.
