About burn fitness

We believe fitness should feel empowering, inclusive, and genuinely enjoyable.

Boutique Studio – Only 6 Reformers

We’re not a franchise, we don’t pack 20 people into a class. We are boutique with six reformers, a space where quality matters.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Pilates experience to join?

Not at all! Our classes are beginner-friendly and our instructors are there to guide you through every move. Whether it's your first time or you're returning to the reformer, you'll be well supported.

What should I bring to class?

Just bring yourself, a water bottle, and grip socks (a must for safety and hygiene). Don’t have grip socks yet? We’ve got some available to purchase in studio.

How many people are in each class?

We keep things small, just six reformers per class. That means more personal attention and a better, safer workout experience.

How do I book a class?

Easy! You can book online via our Class Schedule. Classes fill quickly, so we recommend booking ahead to secure your spot.

What if I need to cancel my class?

Life happens! We have a 12-hour cancellation policy. Just cancel via the booking system to avoid a late fee and free up the spot for someone else.
