In Zurich, every day seems to be a race - whether you're chasing the tram or having to conquer the mountain of emails.
Stress feels like a national sport here.
But while the city is in constant operation, you can take it easy every now and then.

Pilates!
Pilates is your little piece of relaxation in the middle of Zurich's chaos.
Why bother with the hustle and bustle when you can strengthen the true core - your core - with Pilates?
Here is the ultimate list of the best studios for District 1, District 2, District 3 and District 4.
I. Pilates in District 1 (Old Town of Zurich)
Do you spend a lot of time in the old town because you are one of the select few people who live or work there?
Oh, imagine what an American wouldn't give for that.
'Oh my gawsh, it's soooo pretty!'.
And you're not wrong, District 1 of Zurich is a really special place on earth.
Let's get to the list of Pilates studios that make the neighborhood so great.

One of the most popular studios in District 1, where you can find workouts tailored to your needs.

That and cool Pilates studios.

The circle that is becoming increasingly popular.

The selection of Pilates studios in Wiedikon or District 3 is quite limited.
One of the few there is Pilates Plana, which is currently not accepting any new members.

Last but not least, there is NY Pilates, which runs a studio in District 3.
The NY stands for Nermin Yalin.
