Studio Pilates Launches The Pilates Games
As boutique fitness continues to embrace performance-based formats, we are thrilled to launch The Pilates Games—our new competitive reformer Pilates concept built around a 100-minute scored workout designed to test your endurance, precision, and control.
Held across our 130+ studios worldwide, we are offering a structured experience in which you will complete an extended reformer workout—more than double the length of our typical 40-minute class—focused on your consistency and stamina over time. You will move through a sequence of exercises and earn points based on your technique and execution rather than speed or intensity alone. We score exercises on a six-point scale, where higher spring resistance earns you more points, reinforcing our belief that quality of movement determines the final score.
The Pilates Games reflects a broader shift we see across boutique fitness toward performance-driven offerings, where we know our clients are increasingly focused on measuring their progress. Designed as an endurance-based event, we have built this to appeal to both our competitive participants seeking rankings and our dedicated clients looking to benchmark their personal performance. This experience is closely tied to our Amplify 6 Week Challenge, which serves as your training ground—offering you a structured pathway to build strength, track progress, and prepare for the event.
“This format gives Pilates a new dimension,” says our CEO and Co-Founder, Jade Winter. “We’ve taken everything people love about Pilates and introduced a way to measure it – not just how long you can last, but how well you can maintain precision and control under pressure.”
Concepts like The Pilates Games signal our shift toward more immersive, event-driven experiences and deeper engagement with you, our community. We are building on our existing challenge programming to strengthen your participation and long-term results.
Studio Pilates International was founded in 2002 by husband-and-wife team, Jade and Tanya Winter, and we have since grown into a global reformer Pilates brand with more than 130 studios worldwide. Our inaugural Pilates Games will take place across our locations following the upcoming six-week challenge, concluding in late June. We expect to launch additional iterations as the concept evolves.
