Pilates Classes in Arlington, MA
My Pilates classes are mat-based and focus on whole-body control, strength, and better alignment. Groups stay small — never more than ten — so everyone gets close attention and precise, personal cues.
Whatever your age or experience, you'll work at your own pace and leave feeling stronger, taller, and more at ease in your body.
Props that make the work clearer
I make generous use of props: hand weights, resistance loops, and both large and small Pilates balls. They aren't extras — they help you understand alignment in your own body and get more out of every exercise.
Private sessions
For one-on-one work, I teach on the Reformer, Chair and Tower. Private sessions let us focus precisely on what your body needs — recovering strength after pregnancy, easing back or shoulder pain, or simply progressing faster with full attention.
Hands-on teaching
With your consent, I use touch and detailed cues to guide your alignment. This is careful, attentive teaching — not a crowd in a mirrored room. And yes, it comes with a French touch, accent included.
What students say
Best pilates class ever ! After my third pregnancy, I felt like I had lost all my strength—no energy, and constant pain in my back and shoulders. Sophie has been absolutely amazing. She tailors the exercises to suit every person’s level, corrects posture carefully, and shares invaluable advice throughout the sessions.
In just a few months, I started to notice real changes: I had more energy, regained muscle tone, and my back and shoulder pain disappeared. The Pilates classes are incredibly effective yet gentle on the body, making it the perfect way to build strength without strain.
Every session is a refreshing and enjoyable experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and I always leave feeling recharged. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to improve their well-being! Delphine R.
I have done Pilates both floor and reformer on and off for over 25 years. I have been learning with Sophie Perducat for about five years because she is the best instructor by far which I have experienced. No one gives the detailed adjustments like Sophie. She also helps to prevent injuries with her meticulous adjustments. Her classes are head and shoulders superior to any others I have experienced. And the studio is easy to access and the parking free and the surroundings lovely. Jessica G.
Best pilates class ever! My body and mind are rebooted each time. Sophie is a fabulous coach. I can only recommend SPR! Charlotte T.
Doing Pilates with Sophie has been a game changer. She builds new, targeted routines each time and it’s always a great work out. Having never done Pilates or anything similar until 40+, she made the learning process smooth and enjoyable. William C.
