Pilates is about bringing people together through movement while building strength, flexibility and balance. There’s nothing quite like the buzz of a group class to motivate you through the toughest workout. Train hard, spark up a conversation and schedule a post-Pilates coffee date or brunch with your new sweat buddies in Zürich. Friends, fun and feel-good fitness guaranteed!
Read on for FORFITSAKE’s picks of the best Pilates studios and instructors in Zürich.
Jennifer Winklhofer at My Body Toning
The Teacher
As women, we often don’t put ourselves first, and Jennifer’s goal is to change that. Having trained in both Switzerland and the United States, Jennifer’s My Body Toning is the perfect fitness and nutrition program for everyone who wants to get their body in shape and keep it that way.
The Classes
Jennifer offers a wide range of fitness, nutrition and wellbeing solutions, from bespoke one-to-one training to friendly small group courses in women’s boot camps, Pilates, EMS and Barre in Zurich and online. She specialises in pregnancy and post-natal Pilates, as well as pelvic floor and diastasis recti healing. As a mother, she knows how overwhelming the early weeks can feel, so new mums are always welcome to bring their babies to class.
Why We Love Jennifer
Jenny's individualised approach, motivation, warmth and good humour is inspiring!
April Jones at Pilatesworks
The Teacher
As a Californian who has made her home in Zurich, April teaches classic Pilates with a creative dancer’s approach and she’s always exploring new ideas to help her clients reach their goals. She’s also a proud founding member of the Swiss Pilates Association.
