PLTS High Intensity Pilates & Barre
If you’re ready to feel the burn and shake like never before this is the place to be!
This year THE angel workout from L.A. finally came to the Netherlands. At PLTS you can get your ass kicked in a 50-minute high intensity, full-body Reformer Pilates or Barre class.
Reformer Pilates is performed on a state of the art Pilates machine. You’ll work on a killer core and develop your muscles lengthwise. The Barre classes are ballet inspired fitness exercises that will make your legs shake like you have spaghetti legs. It improves your posture and gives you a firm and round booty. Say goodbye to bulky muscles and hello to beautiful long toned muscles and a killer core and booty.
HIGH STUDIOS
Walking into HIGH STUDIOS feels like you’re walking into a club, especially on Friday when there is a DJ playing during your 45-minute high intensity interval workout. The workouts are a mix of sets with weights, bodyweight, a Skillmill (a non-motorised treadmill with an option for extra resistance) and a Plyo-box for plyometric exercises like box-jumps. They have six different classes that crush calories, strengthen muscles and enlarge endurance. With great beats, lightning, trainers and a cold pressed juice bar, HIGH STUDIOS makes your workout a unique experience.

Rocycle
A party on a bike, that’s what a workout at Rocycle is all about. Spinning brought to a whole new level and experience. During the workout the lights are dimmed, candles are on and through 21 (!) speakers Beyoncé, Pop, Deep house or Techno beats are pumping into your ears. The resistance bands, light weighted dumbbells and push-ups on the steering wheel help to make this a full-body workout. The 45 or 60-minute workout is over before you know it! After all the sweating, you can indulge yourself with their lovely Zenology products and treat yourself to a Cold Pressed Juicery smoothie.
