Minimal Studio Pilates

Minimal Studio Pilates is a small, fully equipped Pilates studio on Calle Castaños in central Alicante, tucked away on a mezzanine floor of the building. Come here if you want machine Pilates with real attention, not a big class where nobody checks your form. The kit is the full set: reformer, Cadillac, chair, barrels and a wall tower, plus the smaller props. Group classes are capped at four to six people, and the studio suggests starting with a handful of private sessions before joining a group, so you learn the basics properly. Reviewers mostly talk about Barbara, the instructor, who they describe as patient, energetic and very good at adapting exercises for injuries or other sports. She explains each move and corrects you as you go, and reviewers say she speaks English and has translated for students who don't speak Spanish. Booking is by phone or email, and you'll need a membership or pack rather than just walking in.
