Whole Body Studios on South University Boulevard has been teaching Pilates, barre and yoga for more than a decade, including reformer and cardio Pilates classes and a comprehensive Pilates teacher-training programme. A dedicated Intro to Reformer class is the easiest way in if you have never used the machine.
Worth knowing: a multi-discipline studio rather than a Pilates-only room — check the schedule for reformer-specific classes.

Visit WebsiteFierce45 was founded in the Highlands by Torrey Newman. Its 45-minute classes follow the Lagree Method on spring-based Megaformer machines — low-impact but intense, working legs, obliques, core and upper body. Classes are capped at about ten people and must be booked in advance, and the brand has grown to several Denver studios, including Wash Park and Hilltop.
Worth knowing: this is Lagree-style Megaformer training rather than traditional Pilates — slower, heavier and sweatier.

Despite the name, it is a Lagree Fitness licensee, and its workouts run on Lagree machines — so expect slow, intense, Megaformer-style training rather than classical Pilates.
Worth knowing: Lagree is very different from Pilates — first-timers should take an intro session before a regular class.
