Our classes are set to the beat of the music resulting in a workout experience to remember. Feel the energy as you vibe together in a group workout that motivates you to pulse a little bit longer, squat a little bit deeper + elevate for the full duration.Whether it’s Barre, Core Pilates, Sculpt or Reformer Pilates, prepare to work body and mind, as you enjoy receiving detailed attention to your form, alignment, technique + breath.Enjoy that uptempo choreography + the serotonin-boosting vibes of your raising heart rate as you move through an empowering, well-balanced 50 minute S191 workout.

We also LOVE a themed workout so get ready to see ABBA, Taylor Swift + Beyoncé on the schedule. Our S191 workouts also include a lot of props - from Bala wrist/ankle bangles + weighted power rings to Balanced Body Pilates circles to booty bands, core sliders, dumbbells, medicine balls, jump boards + more. We bring extra challenge + support through our props, ensuring every workout is accessible, fresh, effective + independently-designed by our incredible instructors. You’ll be in the greatest of hands as your mood rises high + that booty gets down low. Don’t believe us? Come give it a try. OUR CLASS SCHEDULE With maximum flexibility in mind - we have cultivated a pretty huge class schedule with lots of daily classes to make life easier by making workouts available in as many hours of the day as possible. That’s 7 days per week of classes from sunrise till way after sunset. We do recommend that you book your spot online in advance - but you can always take a chance by walking into the studio (we cannot guarantee there will be a space but you’re welcome to try anytime) + our host can check if there’s a spot free. Looking for S191 to be part of your daily or weekly life? We offer several memberships + class card to suit your needs + we only want you to pay for what you use. This is why our memberships allow you to “roll over” any classes that you don’t use. Our dedicated team are online + in the studios 7 days per week to assist you with booking classes, selecting the best membership + beyond. OUR LOCATIONS Studio 191 can be found in Amsterdam’s de Pijp, West + Oost neighborhoods. Our West location offers showers + large changing facilities, as well as a dedicated Reformer studio. Our de Pijp + Oost locations are ‘express studios’ - whilst they still have lockers, water fountains + changing facilities, they do not have showers. All of our studios have local bike parking facilities + can easily be reached by tram or car. As we offer prenatal + postnatal classes in all our locations, we also have easily accessible entry spaces for strollers.Our studios have complimentary refreshments in the lounge. There are also S191 sweat + shower towels, grip socks (essential for all reformer classes), hair scrunchies, water-bottles & fem-care products for sale in all of our studios. GET READY FOR YOUR S191 CLASS Come as you are - no fancy designer onesies are needed here. We’re all about having a great time + that often means attending class in whatever makes us feel fab - however functional clothing equates to a better workout; so a pair of leggings, a tee + some grip socks usually does the job. All classes are barefoot/grip socks, please store your shoes in a locke
