Pilates: Core
Mat Pilates with precision and control.
Want to learn more?
What to Expect
Think “core” means just your abs? Cute. Pilates: Core is where classic mat Pilates meets Popflow energy — steady pacing, intentional sequences, and that delicious burn that makes you question your life choices (in the best way). You’ll hit your entire body — front, back, sides, and every stabilizing muscle you didn’t even know you had. Classes kick off with focused activation to connect you to your deep core, glutes, and posture muscles, then move into a mix of classics (hello, Hundreds, Teasers) and creative variations that challenge stability, balance, and endurance.
No snoozy pulses. No endless counting. Every movement is intentional, every sequence flows into the next, and the burn sneaks up fast. By the end, you’ll stand taller, feel stronger, and maybe get a little smug about your new posture.
Who It’s For
- Pilates newbies who want clear cues and smart guidance
- Yogis and athletes cross-training for stability and mobility
- Fitness junkies who want functional strength without fluff
If you think Pilates is “just abs,” prepare to be proven wrong.
What to Bring
- Yoga mat + water
- Grip socks + ankle weights optional
- Props (balls, bands, weights) always provided
Music & Vibe
Upbeat playlists with steady beats to match the work. Enough groove to make you smile, enough drive to keep you focused. The vibe is all business with a wink: you’ll sweat, shake, and maybe laugh when your core starts yelling at you.
What Makes It Popflow
We’re not here for beige mats and whispered cues over spa music. Pilates at Popflow is creative, energizing, and effective. No fluff, no phoning it in. You’ll leave stronger, not wondering how you lost an hour to “tiny pulses.”
What You’ll Get
- A strong, stable core that powers everything you do
- Better posture and body awareness (goodbye desk hunch)
- Functional strength that translates into yoga, HIIT, running, life
- That delicious soreness that proves it worked
Pilates: Core FAQ

Nope. We hit your front, back, sides, and stabilizers.

Pilates: HIIT
High-intensity Pilates intervals with clean form.
Want to learn more?
What to Expect
This isn’t your “sip-water-between-side-kicks” Pilates. Pilates: HIIT is where Pilates precision meets HIIT intensity — sweaty, fiery, unapologetically challenging, and ridiculously fun. You’ll cycle through explosive intervals (planks, lunges, jumps — yes, jumps in Pilates) and creative prop drills, each followed by short recovery windows that keep your heart rate up and your muscles fully engaged.
Every interval is purposeful. We’re not just moving for the sake of moving — we’re targeting strength, cardio endurance, stability, and stamina all in one sweat-drenched package. The pace is fast, the burn hits quick, and the vibe is cheeky enough that when you’re cursing, your instructor will probably laugh with you.
Who It’s For
- Pilates fans craving a faster, sweatier version
- HIIT lovers who want precision and form
- Adventurous newbies who love to sweat and don’t mind a challenge
If you want a class that flies by in a sweaty blur, this is your jam.
What to Bring
- Yoga mat, towel, water
- Grip socks + ankle weights optional
- Props (balls, bands, weights) always provided
Music & Vibe
Your playlist is your hype crew. Expect remixes, throwbacks, and bass drops that push you to the finish line. Every beat keeps the room buzzing, distracts you from the fire in your quads, and makes time fly.
What Makes It Popflow
Most Pilates classes don’t make you sweat through your shirt. Ours will. We fuse HIIT intensity with Pilates precision so you can push hard without losing form. Every instructor brings creative sequencing, smart interval design, and playlists that keep you coming back for the fun as much as the burn.
What You’ll Get
- A cardio blast + core strength in one
- Improved stamina, endurance, and mobility
- Faster progress than with either Pilates or HIIT alone
- The “I might hate you now but love you later” glow
Pilates: HIIT FAQ
Is it beginner-friendly?
Yes — if you’re ready to sweat. Everything scales up or down.
How is it different from Pilates: Core?
Core is steady and controlled. HIIT is fiery, fast, and cardio-driven.
Do I need to jump?
Not if you don’t want to. Low-impact options always available.
Will I lose form at high speed?
Nope. We coach alignment even in the sweat storm.
Why Popflow HIIT over another studio?
Because we mix precision with fire — sweaty, fun, and smarter than a generic bootcamp.
