Blue Elephant Pilates

Blue Elephant Pilates is a boutique Pilates studio located in the heart of Gilbert, AZ. Our mission is to enhance our clients' overall well-being by providing exceptional Pilates instruction in a welcoming and supportive environment. We specialize in private and semi-private equipment classes, as well as online mat and reformer classes, all tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual.

Pilates Equipment Classes

At Blue Elephant Pilates, we believe that Pilates is more than just a form of exercise - it is a holistic approach to movement that can help improve muscle tone, strength, endurance, flexibility, coordination, and balance. Our private and semi-private equipment classes utilize a variety of apparatus, including the Peak tower, Peak reformer, Balanced Body Exo Chair, Balanced Body Step Barrel, and Balanced Body Core Align. These classes are designed to help correct muscle imbalances, encourage proper muscle recruitment, and help you achieve your specific fitness goals.

Our private equipment classes are tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual, and are conducted in a safe and supportive environment. Private sessions are available by appointment and are 55 or 90 minutes in length. Semi-private classes are also available, and are designed for two people who would like to train together.

Online Mat and Reformer Classes

In addition to our in-studio classes, we also offer online mat and reformer classes. These classes are a great way to stay active and engaged in your Pilates practice from the comfort of your own home.

Our online mat classes are held on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and are suitable for all levels. We offer a variety of classes, including Balls and Bands, Magic Circle, and Mat, all of which are designed to help improve muscle tone, flexibility, and overall movement quality. Class recordings are available on request for a small fee.

Our online reformer classes are held on Wednesdays and Fridays, and are suitable for those with some Pilates experience. These classes focus on muscular strength, endurance, flexibility, and balance, and are modified to meet the needs of each individual. Clients must have a working reformer and access to Zoom. Class recordings are available on request.
