About Pilates Academy, Arjan

Pilates Academy Arjan is a classical Pilates studio in Building 88, Arjan, teaching on the full set of equipment: reformer, Cadillac, chair, Fuse Ladder and mat. Most of its timetable is for adults, but it runs Teen Group Classes for ages 12 to 18. The studio describes them as built around posture, core strength and coordination rather than performance, so a complete beginner is the normal starting point. Classes are capped at five, which the studio says means every teenager is corrected by name. Teen classes use the same apparatus and the same cap as the adult classes. For now, teen sessions are booked individually around instructor availability rather than on a fixed weekly timetable, so you message the front desk to find the next slot. A single teen class is AED 130 and a 12-class package is AED 1,320. The studio says the programme supports sports performance and helps reduce the risk of injury. There is no set class for under-12s; the studio asks parents of younger children to get in touch first.

The activity

Pilates, explained

Pilates is a low-impact way of training that works on posture, core strength, flexibility and control. In a studio class, students move through slow, precise exercises on a mat and on spring-loaded equipment such as the reformer (a sliding carriage with springs and straps), the Cadillac (a padded table with a frame overhead) and the chair. Springs can add help or resistance, so a beginner and a more experienced student can work on the same machine. For teenagers it is often used alongside school sport to build body awareness and balance. Studios set their own minimum age.

Who it's for

Teenagers aged 12 to 18 (Teen Group Classes). Beginners are welcome; no sporting background is needed. There is no set programme for under-12s: for a younger child, contact the studio first so they can confirm suitability. The rest of the timetable is adult classes, including ladies-only and prenatal sessions.

What to expect

Teen classes run on the same classical apparatus as the adult classes (reformer, Cadillac, chair, Fuse Ladder, mat), with no more than five people, so each teenager is coached individually. Grip socks are required on the equipment; the studio sells them for AED 65. A parent or legal guardian must sign the studio's Waiver of Liability and Informed Consent Release for anyone under 18. The studio asks first-timers to arrive 10 minutes early, tie long hair back and leave jewellery off, and says late arrivals of more than 10 minutes cannot join. Whether the 3-class trial applies to teens is not stated: ask the provider.
