Let’s face it, we’ve all had that gym class we signed up for because it sounded revolutionary—only to find out it's just endless burpees, some out-of-place Zen music, and the promise of “fun” that evaporates by the warm-up. Now, we don’t need to suffer under cortisol inducing workouts. The RowFormer, Australia's latest fitness import that brings a Pilates-inspired twist to cardio.

If you’re searching for a class that actually delivers the burn without the tears, here are five solid reasons why you should get yourself to STRONG Pilates in Makati and experience the RowFormer magic:

Pilates but Make It Spicy

We love Pilates. It's all about grace, control, and core strength. But what if we told you STRONG Pilates adds a dash of cardio to the mix, ensuring you break a sweat without feeling like you're running a marathon? The RowFormer incorporates rowing exercises to bring your heart rate up, while keeping things low-impact. Think of it as Pilates on steroids, minus the bulk, but all the burn.

800 Calories Never Felt So Good

How many workouts can you say leave you glowing with a sense of accomplishment while also torching 800 calories in just 45 minutes? Not many! The RowFormer class at STRONG Pilates challenges you to the core (literally) with its mix of strength training and cardio. Whether you're rowing your way through that imaginary lake or pushing those Pilates-inspired movements, you'll leave each session thinking, "Did I just do that?"

Spring Tension? Yes, Please!

RowFormer isn’t your average fitness machine. It's engineered with progressive spring tension, resistance bands, and padded seats for ultimate comfort (because who wants to feel like they’re sitting on a rock while working out?). These dynamic elements make transitions between movements seamless, giving your muscles that deep, satisfying workout. Plus, with 16 people in each class, there's a supportive group atmosphere to keep you going.

It’s a Full-Body Affair

Forget isolating just one muscle group. RowFormer classes are designed to target everything. Your legs, arms, core, and even muscles you forgot existed are all in for a treat. With expert trainers guiding you through each exercise, you’ll strengthen and tone your entire body. It's a workout that’s as efficient as it is effective—and let’s not forget the endorphins!

Low-Impact, High Reward

If you’re someone who cringes at the idea of jumping squats and mountain climbers, the RowFormer class is your new best friend. This is low-impact exercise at its finest, perfect for anyone who wants to protect their joints while still reaping the rewards of a high-intensity workout. And when we say rewards, we mean sleek, toned muscles and the ability to walk up the stairs without feeling like your legs will give out.

The best part? STRONG Pilates is located in the heart of Makati, so you can grab a post-workout smoothie or stroll through Rockwell feeling like the fitness enthusiast you truly are.

With memberships available and a schedule flexible enough for even the busiest cosmopolitan fitness enthusiast, STRONG Pilates is ready to help you meet your strongest self. Plus, who could resist those eucalyptus towels waiting for you at the end of class? Bliss.
