Where to do pilates (in Milan and beyond)?

Attimo Pilates

This studio, located in the southern area of Milan at Corso di Porta Romana 61, sits inside the Dance School of the prestigious Teatro Carcano and offers a complete range of equipment (Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, and Ladder Barrel) for personalized lessons in a refined and carefully designed space. The natural colors of the interiors convey a sense of peace and relaxation.

Ceresio 7 Gym & Spa

Located at Via Ceresio 7, this exclusive club features a fully equipped Reformer room, Pilates Matwork classes, and a complete spa area with pool, Finnish sauna, and cryotherapy all within a sleek, modern design space.

Hey Pilates

In the heart of Milan, at Via Santa Maria Valle 7, this boutique studio offers semi-private sessions for up to four people, inspired by the Californian lifestyle. It provides Reformer, CoreAlign®, and Cadillac equipment, plus a HEAT Room with infrared technology for high-intensity workouts, along with osteopathy treatments, massages, and cryotherapy for a complete wellness experience.

Möt Studios

With two locations - one in Brera at Via Francesco Crispi 3 and another in Magenta, at Viale di Porta Vercellina 15 - Möt Studios takes Pilates to the next level: a truly experiential practice. It’s a space where Pilates becomes part of a holistic journey centered on well-being, complete with a Juice Bar, lounge area, and library.

My Pilates

“Helping people feel good in their own bodies and educating them through movement”, that’s the mission driving this studio, located at Via Ruggero Boscovich 30. Housed in an elegant Art Nouveau building with bright rooms and a charming terrace for post-workout relaxation, it’s the ideal spot to rediscover your balance.

Studio N Pilates Moscova

Just a few steps from Brera and Parco Sempione, this studio is entirely dedicated to Pilates and designed to help you restore both physical and mental balance in an intimate, welcoming atmosphere.

Studio Svetle

It offers two locations: the first, an Urban Spa in Porta Nuova (Via Luigi Galvani 15), combines Pilates with a 33°C saltwater pool, sauna, and Turkish bath. The second, newly opened in Via Cavour inside Palazzo dell’Informazione, features a fully equipped Reformer room with Allegro 2 Balanced Body machines and also offers Yoga, Matwork, TRX, Barre, Gym, and functional training.

Something different? Try Ballet Barre

Straight from the heart of Los Angeles, Graceful Strength Studio has arrived in Milan. A space dedicated to movement that blends dance, yoga, and Pilates in a unique method created by professional dancer and certified instructor Lauren Arps. Originally conceived as the Graceful Strength Method during her years in Los Angeles, the project has evolved into a physical studio in Milan that fully reflects Lauren’s vision: a place where grace meets strength, in a warm and energizing atmosphere. Located at Via Panfilo Castaldi 20, the studio spans two levels and welcomes clients into a space thoughtfully designed to support every phase of their training journey.

Retreat

Conceived as a contemporary refuge, Retreat opens in the center of Milan, just steps from the Duomo, at Via Merlo 1. A unique space designed to offer an authentic and transformative personal experience, built on the philosophy of ritual — where every gesture, treatment, and proposal celebrates self-care, restoring value to time and deep connection with the body and the self. Vitality, beauty, and mindfulness form the foundation of a path meant to regenerate body, mind, and spirit in a harmonious setting. Here, you can also practice Mat Pilates.
