In Zurich, it seems like every day is a race – whether you're chasing after the tram or tackling a mountain of emails.
Stress here feels like a national sport.
But while the city is in constant motion, you can occasionally take it easy.
Don't know how?
Pilates!
Pilates is your little piece of relaxation in the chaos of Zurich.
Why struggle with the hustle and bustle when you can strengthen your true core through Pilates?
Here is the ultimate list of the best studios in District 1, District 2, District 3, and District 4.
I. Pilates in District 1 (Old Town of Zurich)
You spend a lot of time in the Old Town because you are one of the few chosen people who live or work there?
Oh, just imagine what an American would give for that.
"Oh my gosh, it's soooo pretty!".
And they're not wrong; District 1 of Zurich is truly a special little spot on earth.
Now let's get to the list of Pilates studios that make the neighborhood so great.
1.1 PilaTess - Personal Trainer
If you want to take private Pilates lessonsyou can wonderfully do that at PilaTess.
By the way, we also offer this at Templeshape if you're looking for the same thing in Wiedikon instead of the Old Town.
1.2 Piz Pilates at Neumarkt
In the eastern part of District 1, you'll find Piz Pilates, where you'll especially get your money's worth if you already have some basic fitness and ideally have experience in Pilates.
1.3 BODYART in the Old Town
Of course, BODYART cannot be missing from this list.
One of the most popular studios in District 1, where you can find workouts on your terms.
Whether cardio, muscle building, or mindfulness, the spectrum is very broad in this Pilates studio.
1.4 Form Studio with Reformer Pilates
In the western part of District 1, you will also find the Form Studio.
There you can do Reformer Pilates in a very stylish environment.

II. Pilates in District 2 (Enge and Lakeshore)
Here, you may not have an old town, but either direct access or very close access to the lake.
A very nice neighborhood in Zurich, where you can also find a lot of dream houses.
That and cool Pilates studios.
2.1 Pilatesbyme
The studio near Rieterpark in District 2 offers both Mat Pilates and Reformer Pilates.
Certainly not the cheapest classes in the city, but of high quality and very friendly.
2.2 Fitvibe Studio Zurich
The bright and minimalist studio of Fit Vibe is also highly recommended.
You can do Reformer Pilates and classic Pilates there, but also stretching classes.
The founder Sergej is definitely extremely qualified when it comes to Pilates, EMS, and stretching.
Give it a try!
2.4 Basi Pilates Studio
Right at the Tunnelstrasse stop, you will find the studio of the BASI chain.
They are generally known for their quality training and are therefore a safe bet in terms of expertise.
The equipment is high quality, and you can train many different things like Reformer, Cadillac Pilates, or even Barre Pilates there.
Just a hop away from Enge train station!
2.4 Templeshape
Pretty much at the border of District 2 and District 3 lies our own studio that you should check out.
We focus heavily on group classes and offer not only Pilates but also yoga,fitnessand dance programs.
You can find us at Manessestrasse 120.
Templeshape
Pilates
Come join us in the group classes!
IV. Pilates District 3 (Wiedikon & Sihlfeld)
The district that is becoming more and more popular.
Originally known for its industry, you can now find many families in this area.
3.1 Templeshape
As mentioned in the previous part, we are not just a pure Pilates studio.
Instead, we value diversity and encourage our Templeshapers to have a healthy mix of various things.
Our Pilates classes are definitely among the most popular in our program.
We offer both private Pilates sessions and group classes.
In terms of price, you will hardly find a cheaper offer in the city.
Not even through MyClubs 😉 Our community is quite important to us, and we want everyone to be able to afford a balanced active daily life.
3.2 Pilates Plana
The selection of Pilates studios in Wiedikon or District 3 is quite poor.
One of the few there is Pilates Plana, which is currently not accepting new members.
3.3 NY Pilates Wiedikon
Last but not least, there is NY Pilates, which has a studio in District 3.
The NY stands for Nermin Yalin.
Like the Pilates trainers from Templeshape, Nermin also comes to you as a "flying Pilates coach" including equipment.
After all, you can always find a suitable spot for Pilates.

IV. Pilates District 4 (Aussersihl)
There is also little choice in District 4.
This is likely to change in the future, but that's the current situation.
4.1 Celine Bardy
One of the few studios is run by Celine Bardy.
This woman has flow in her blood, and you can feel it when you attend one of her classes.
You can do both mat Pilates and reformer Pilates with her.
Her prices are also really fair!
4.2 Atman Studio
This boutique studio is located very close to Celine Bardy.
So you can try both.
At Atman Studio, the focus is more on Yoga, but they also offer Pilates.
