For reformer pilates in Cape Town, book Sculpt Pilates or The Movement Lab on Bree Street in the City Centre, and Virgin Active Point in Green Point if you want a full club. In the southern suburbs, The Movement Lab Claremont, Core Pilates in Upper Claremont and Wynberg Pilates Studio cover reformer and more. Sea Point has the densest cluster, led by The Movement Lab, THE CLUB., The Ivy Room and Studio54.
Amaya is designed in Sea Point, where four reformer studios sit on or near Main Road. This guide covers the whole city. For Sea Point walks, runs and swims, read our Atlantic Seaboard movement guide. We say what we love; we are not affiliated with any of these places. Check hours before you go.

How to book
Check each studio's website for the current timetable. Drop-in prices in this guide run from R260 for a mat class to R395 for a reformer class at The Movement Lab. Packs bring the cost per class down: 10 reformer classes at The Movement Lab cost R2 950, under R300 each. If you train three or more times a week, compare that with the R1 850 unlimited subscription.
What to wear
In class, wear fitted activewear and check each studio's rules on socks when you book. Amaya does not make activewear.
Afterwards is where we come in. The Wild Lounge Set (R1 650) is a knit set made for after class: pull it on over warm muscles and go straight to coffee. For a lunch meeting after a morning class, the Nusa Top (R1 199) and Shio Pants (R1 800) are linen and look put together without trying.
If you are on the Atlantic side, follow class with a sea swim from our tidal pools guide.
