The Best Pilates Studios
in Austin, Texas

Despite the name, Pure Pilates Austin is a Lagree Method studio: classes run on Megaformer machines for a low-impact but very high-intensity full-body workout. The South Lamar studio opened in late 2017 with 10 Megaformers and free parking, and the brand also has a studio at the Domain in North Austin, so it is one of the easiest places in town to try Lagree.

Worth knowing: this is Lagree, not Pilates in the classical sense — expect slow, burning Megaformer work rather than traditional Pilates repertoire.

ALIGN is an education-driven studio founded by Brooke Bowersock. The original studio, ALIGN West on West 6th Street, offers reformer, mat and fully equipped Pilates classes in small groups, with an emphasis on expert, thoughtful instruction for both beginners and experienced movers. ALIGN also runs a teacher-training studio on Springdale Road in East Austin and a studio in Houston.

Worth knowing: the focus on precise, education-led teaching means classes favour technique over a fast, high-energy workout — if you want a sweaty sculpt class, look at the Lagree options on this list.

ATX Pilates is an independent studio on the South Lamar corridor offering small-group reformer and Pilates classes for all levels. It is a convenient option for South Austin residents who want a neighbourhood studio rather than a chain, and it is bookable through ClassPass as well as directly.

Worth knowing: there is less published information about this studio's instructors and programming than about the larger names here — take an intro class to judge the teaching for yourself.

Pilates West opened on Highway 290 West in Oak Hill in July 2018, built on more than 25 years of fitness and Pilates experience. It offers small-group sessions and private lessons for all levels and ages on new equipment, and reviewers on ClassPass rate it highly (4.9). A good choice for Oak Hill and southwest Austin residents who would rather not drive into central Austin.

Worth knowing: its online review count on Yelp is small, so ratings are a promising signal rather than robust proof.

Urban Lagree opened on Chicon Street in East Austin in 2019, bringing Lagree Megaformer classes to the east side. The brand has since grown with further studios, including Rosedale and a South Austin location that opened in 2024, so members have several Lagree options across the city.

Worth knowing: Lagree is a different workout from Pilates — slower, longer holds and heavier sweat — so treat your first class as a learning session.

Sharp Pilates is a classical Pilates studio whose instructors are trained in Romana's Pilates, the lineage that traces back to Joseph Pilates' own teaching. It offers private sessions, semi-private sessions for two to four people and small group classes, which makes it one of the best options in Austin for people who want traditional method instruction with close attention.

Worth knowing: classical instruction is precise and methodical — if you want an athletic, music-driven reformer class, a contemporary studio will suit you better.
