STRONG Pilates Newmarket is a 45-minute class studio at 9 Melrose Street, built around its own Rowformer and bike machines. Each class mixes low-impact, Pilates-inspired resistance work with strength blocks and short high-intensity cardio intervals. The website says the timetable changes every day. The studio has 24 Rowformer machines, large open spaces and polished concrete floors. After a workout, guests get ice-cold towels soaked in eucalyptus, and there is a mobility area and a beauty station with hair dryers and straighteners. The studio is part of STRONG Pilates, a franchise the website says has more than 100 studios worldwide. Its intro offer must be activated within 90 days of purchase, and it expires 10 days after the first booking.
Customers say the classes are challenging and fun, and that the variety keeps them coming back. One who calls themselves an irregular exerciser said this was the one place they had stuck with. Another praised the mix of rowing, weights and reformer, and said the instructors were good at pushing people and checking form. The cold towels and the music come up often too. Among the two other pilates studios within a kilometre, Reform Fitness and Dynamic Reformer Pilates is in the same street at 0.0 km and rates 4.5 from 19 reviews, and Studio Pilates International is 0.4 km away. Of the three nearby studios with ten or more reviews, none rates higher than this one.
