Pilates studio boom spreads across Belgium and United Arab Emirates

In Belgium, interest in Pilates has accelerated in recent years, prompting Superprof to list the most‑recommended teachers and studios throughout Wallonia and Brussels. The guide names several instructors—Ludovic, Jane, Nancy, Maira, Audrey, Clara, Julien and Nicolas—detailing their hourly rates and a complimentary trial class, and notes the method’s appeal for flexibility, mental well‑being and suitability for pregnant women.

In the United Arab Emirates, the Pilates surge has taken on a luxury‑wellness character. Emirates Woman identified 15 newly opened studios from Abu Dhabi to Dubai, describing boutique spaces that combine high‑end design with therapeutic amenities. One highlighted venue, Swell in Al Quoz, offers a “Swell flow” class, infrared saunas, cold‑plunge pools and an on‑site café, illustrating the region’s shift toward holistic, low‑impact fitness.

Both articles show how Pilates has moved from a niche rehabilitation technique to a mainstream lifestyle choice across very different markets.
