"I love this studio. I have been with Real Pilates for many years - the reformer classes made my back aches go away and keep me in shape. All instructors are professional and inspiring, and the management team is always very kind and supportive. Real Pilates makes me look forward to being back to Dubai after traveling or being away, and I’m really grateful for the work they do."

I love this place, from Thomas to Hayley... the best instructors anywhere, the rest of the staff that do all the protocols to ensure they sanitize completely to keep us safe, the front desk staff, Reza the owner and everyone that works there are simply the best. They offer chair, mat, reformer and barre classes as well as privates, semi-privates and virtual classes. If you want to be strong, healthy, flexible and really just want to age gracefully do yourselves a favour and give this studio a chance to bring out the best in you.

I am a long time Dubai resident, 13 years, and I’ve seen my fair share of gyms and clubs. If you’re looking for a Pilates experience that is a cut above the rest in terms of experienced instructors , pristine facilities and amazing customer service then look no further. I can’t recommend it enough.

Real Pilates is a place that got me at hello! The professionalism of the staff, instructors and support team is unmatchable! All the instructors are highly qualified and skilled, and possess the magic to have an excellent attention to details, create fun & engagement, and keep our adrenaline on a high! And my respect and loyalty have increased when I experienced the same level of professionalism, commitment, attention and fun virtually! Thank you JLT for your passion!

I've been going and training with Real Pilates for more than 5 years now and I love them....love both studios.....each of it with its own vibes!!! Both studios are very bright, nice, clean!!!! All instructors are very knowledgeable and teaching completely differently, very seriously yet with some fun and that's what I like! I wish I could spend every day in their studios, taking classes with a different instructor each time.....!!!!

Real Pilates is absolutely my favourite workout of the week! The instructors are so informed, experienced and professional. I have learnt so much and improved my technique quickly. They have small classes which allow the instructors to notice everyone in the room, you don’t have that frustration as a beginner of feeling you have no idea what you are doing for half a class because you’ve not been noticed doing it wrong! I can’t wait to get back to the chilled vibe of the studio but I have so really enjoyed the virtual classes, amazingly the instruction is just as good! Honestly this is a new way of doing Pilates and I am hooked, if I haven’t been for a few days I miss it, and so does my body. I have noticed that my technique in swimming, running and strength training has improved because I bring my body awareness from Pilates into my practice in other forms of exercises.

I've been going to Real Pilates for years and I can't imagine life without them! The Jumeirah studio is a beautiful and uplifting place, with fantastic and patient instructors who never judge me when I'm struggling and are always supportive and kind. We are truly blessed to have this incredible studio and community, now more than ever. I can honestly say that Real Pilates has helped me stay sane, calm and positive and I am so grateful to them for that.

5 stars! I have for years tried gyms, yoga and running in order to combat weight issues and improve overall fitness levels but Real Pilates has revolutionized my overall health and body. I sit straighter, I continue to strengthen my core and constantly get surprised at what I can achieve even with scoliosis in my spine. Just loving Real Pilates and their instructors 👌🏻

One of if not the highest standard of Pilates here in Dubai. Excellent teachers and super friendly staff. If you’re interested in getting your pilates certification I highly recommend Real Pilates. It’s extremely thorough and high standard everyone is very supportive throughout your journey. It’s a great community to also meet others. Extremely high standard of equipment.. No complaints at all.

There is no other Pilates studio in Dubai that has better instructors or services. Trust me, I have tried them all. Having been away from Pilates for almost a year, I was only too excited to be able to get back to real Pilates. Excellent classes for both beginner and advanced levels. I fell in love with Pilates thanks to the folks here. Thank you!
Rasha A.
My favorite studio in Dubai! Every class feels like a private session. The amount of care and attention to detail from instructors is plenty and it's very conveniently priced. Been going for a year and a half and won't stop any time soon.
Sheng C.
Everything is just great. One of my favourite places to be. People are friendly and the instructors are so passionate and attentive to all the clients. The aura of the place is positive and you will leave the studio after the work out even happier, and healthier.
Amelia M.
Such a wonderful studio that I cannot fault. Talented instructors, professional and friendly support staff and excellent facilities. The instructors manage to give every student attention during a class and are never too busy to have a chat at the end. 5 stars!

Angie T.
Previously I attended mat pilates classes at a different studio. However, after attending the reformer core at Real Pilates I am convinced this is the right studio for me. The reception staff are friendly and helpful. I have had a few different instructors and all of them are great. They are patient and explain every exercise in detail and they make sure you are doing the exercise correctly! Great studio! I highly recommend it!
Sara A.
My favorite place to have some intense pilates and also to release my stress.. very professional and friendly team in everything, the instructors and receptionists are so welcoming always 😍
Myriam H.
An amazing studio that I would highly recommend! Instructors are very experienced and motivate you to push your limits while coaching you on how to improve your performance. I started after delivering my first baby and I saw my body transform. I especially recommend Real Barre as it is a full body workout that is great for toning and is done to music which is really fun!
Emma T.
I started going here for prenatal pilates classes. It is one of the few studios that have classes in the evenings so that those of us that work can still make it! The instructors are really nice and they make sure that you aren't pushing yourself too hard but still getting in a good prenatal workout. I love it here and I'll definitely be continuing my pilates after baby for some postnatal workouts. Highly recommend!
Dina G.
"I absolutely love this place. The receptionist are super friendly and always remember your name - just the right touch to feel super welcome. As a yogi I've always been unsure about Pilates but the instructors are incredible - you can't help but get hooked. They are special teachers who leave you feeling uplifted after every session. Highly recommend!"
Valerie A.
Amazing studio! Very clean and well maintained.. Staff are friendly and helpful if you have any questions. The instructors are great and there are wide variety of classes to choose from... Definitely worth your time!
Aziza R.
The best Pilates studio in Dubai! Amazing experienced instructors with great attitude & professionalism, beautiful equipped studios, fantastic ambience and atmosphere!
Janeen P.
Love this place! The machines were a bit daunting at first and I wasn't sure I would be able to get the hang of it, but the instructors took their time, gave clear instructions and guided me through the process. They give verbal cues, so even if you can't see the instructor, as long as you are listening you can follow along. The instructors can scale the exercises for you if some things are too hard. I really look forward to the classes - they are as much about the mental break as they are about the physical workout. I've tried a few different types of exercise classes around Dubai and found that the quality of trainers/teachers can be very poor. That is not the case here - this place always has terrific instructors. Special thanks to Jennifer who accommodates my (sometimes unpopular) glute exercise requests!
Seung P.

"I love going to Real Pilates! Especially the class with Helen. She is an excellent instructor. She is very knowledgeable and very patient👍🏼 And she always make sure that you are doing the movements right. The studio is very clean. Love the atmosphere ❤️"
Hannes L. (Sports Conditioning Coach)
"In January 2015, a lady approached us about a case of sciatica and lower back pain due to a bulging disk. While she sees me 3 times a week she has been enrolled at JLT Real Pilates twice a week for some time now. I’m happy to report that she went for a check up to the orthopaedic specialists and although bulging disks are always areas of concern – the specialist reports that there are massive improvements in her lower back and the effects of sciatica are now minimal and she has the go ahead to do whatever she wants now. I have no doubt that the 2 reformer sessions a week has contributed massively to her now being able to enjoy life to the fullest and the effects of numbness in the legs and lower back discomforts being something of the past."

"This place is my sanctuary. The classes and instructors work you hard, but you leave feeling so good. My body has never been stronger!! Thank you Real Pilates."
Greta O.
"Since arriving in Dubai about 2 years ago I’ve been getting ‘my Pilates fix’ at Real Pilates. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the quality of the training, the diversity of the exercises, all combined with plenty of laughter and humor. I’ve been a Pilates addict for probably close to 15 years but RP teachers are highly qualified; they help me to exercise better and continue to introduce me to new exercises. Real Pilates: Impressive service and performance, from the reception staff to the trainers."
Caroline M.
"It is my very first time training on a reformer machine and I am so glad I chose Real Pilates. From the receptionist and customer service specialists who always follow up on requests and are so happy to assist, to the trainers who are very passionate in their classes, I have had such a pleasant time at the studio that I cannot believe 50 mins in the class passes by so quickly. The trainers are aware of new members and make sure to pay extra attn to them, they ensure to teach the correct breathing technique and position every single time, and lastly their instructions are very very clear to follow. I love coming to Real Pilates and will definitely be continuing my Pilates journey with them!"
