Hvad er forskellen på Essence Pilates og almindelig pilates?

Essence Pilates kombinerer pilates med elementer fra yoga og barre i infravarme. Det giver en dybere muskelaktivering og et mere sammenhængende flow end traditionel pilates.

Er infravarmen ubehagelig?

De fleste vænner sig hurtigt til det. Varmen åbner musklerne og gør træningen mere effektiv. Medbring gerne ekstra vand.

Kræver det pilates-erfaring?

Nej. Instruktøren guider dig gennem alle bevægelser uanset baggrund.

Er det en hård træning?

Det er mere intenst end det ser ud til. Arbejdet sker dybt i musklerne — ikke med høj puls.

Skal jeg have sokker og handsker med?

Ja, du skal bruge grip-sokker og handsker til alle vores hold – de sikrer det rette greb på reformeren og er et krav af hygiejnehensyn. Har du ikke et sæt, kan du købe dem i centeret, så du altid kan komme i gang uanset hvad.

Hvad skal jeg have på til træningen?

Behageligt og tættsiddende sportstøj er ideelt – løst tøj kan hænge fast i reformerens bevægelige dele. Husk grip-sokker og handsker (sælges i centeret). Ingen særlige sko er nødvendige – reformer pilates trænes i sokker.

What is Heat It Up Essence Pilates?

Essence Pilates is a Pilates-based workout that combines elements of classical Pilates, Hatha yoga, and barre into a seamless flow. The workout takes place in a 30-degree infrared heat environment, which increases muscle activation and makes the body more receptive to deep muscle engagement.

This isn't your typical Pilates. It's a more physical, more controlled, and more precise version, designed to build real strength from within.

What happens during the class?

An Essence Pilates class focuses on:

Deep muscle activation — the core, stabilizers, and the small muscles that are often overlooked
Controlled flow of movement — every movement has a clear purpose
Strength and stability from classical Pilates
Calm and flow inspired by yoga movements
Precise muscle activation from the barre tradition

Everything is based on infrared heat, which supports the body’s natural functions without overloading it.

Who is Essence Pilates for?

Essence Pilates is perfect for you if:

Aims to build greater strength than traditional training provides
Looking for a workout that combines physical exertion with mental focus
Will improve posture, stability, and the quality of movement
Looks like they're ready to work, but they're not

What's in it for you?

If you practice Essence Pilates regularly, over time you will notice:

Greater strength in the core and stabilizers
Better posture and body awareness
More control in motion —during workouts and in everyday life
A stronger and more stable body that helps prevent injuries

I love the energy it gives me after a workout, and I can already feel the difference in my flexibility and core strength.

I was skeptical at first—Pilates and bungee didn’t sound like something for an old soccer player. But after just one trial class, I was sold. The workouts are intense, challenging, and fun all at the same time. Three of my friends have started now, too.

I love it! Great workout and the instructors are always cheerful.

Definitely the best Reformers class in Copenhagen. A clean and inviting space, skilled instructors, and you can really feel the difference after just a few weeks.

As a new mom, it was hard to find the time and motivation to work out. Energii made it easy—flexible class times, booking through the app, and instructors who understand that you’re not always at 100%. I’ve regained my strength and found a new sense of community to boot.

This is the first time I'm actually looking forward to working out. The atmosphere is incredible.

I’ve been a member for over three years now, and the quality has only gotten better. New classes, new locations, and always with a focus on quality over quantity. My friends and I have made it our regular Thursday ritual—it’s equal parts socializing and intense workout.

Bungee Fly is addictive! It's the most fun workout I've ever tried.

Energii has completely transformed my daily life. I started out with a bad back and constant tension headaches. After just two months of working out three times a week, the pain is almost gone, and I sleep like a baby. The instructors remember your name and tailor the exercises to you—that makes all the difference.

I started three months ago and I'm already hooked. It's the perfect combination of strength and flexibility.

I’ve tried many different gyms, but Energii is in a league of its own. The equipment is always in perfect condition, the classes are varied, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. My body has never felt better than it does after six months of regular Reformer training here.

An absolutely fantastic place to work out. The instructors are super skilled and attentive.

A top-notch experience! A wide selection of centers and classes, yet they still provide wonderful, personalized service when you contact them by email. And excellent service when it comes to changing your membership after a mistaken purchase—thanks, Energii :)

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions you most often have about this class.

Essence Pilates combines Pilates with elements of yoga and barre in an infrared-heated studio. This provides deeper muscle engagement and a more fluid sequence than traditional Pilates.

Most people get used to it quickly. The heat loosens up your muscles and makes your workout more effective. Be sure to bring extra water.

No. The instructor will guide you through every movement, regardless of your background.

It's more intense than it looks. The work happens deep within the muscles—not through a high heart rate.

Yes, you’re required to wear non-slip socks and gloves for all our classes—they ensure a secure grip on the Reformer and are required for hygiene reasons. If you don’t have a set, you can purchase them at the center so you can always get started, no matter what.

Comfortable, form-fitting workout clothes are ideal—loose clothing can get caught in the Reformer’s moving parts. Remember to bring grip socks and gloves (available for purchase at the center). No special shoes are required—Reformer Pilates is done in socks.
