The Best Places To Workout In Riyadh
Formé
Probably the most aesthetically pleasing Pilates studio in Riyadh, female-founded Formé lays on ‘Yogalates’ and private classes at its calming Ar Rabi HQ, alongside a host of reformer-based sessions. When you’re ready to up the intensity level, try one of its Tower Power or Hardcore 75 workouts. Members also get access to a video library for on-demand sessions wherever they might be.

Stance
It’s easy to see the appeal of putting a Pilates studio and spa under one roof. Stance offers mat and reformer Pilates classes, as well as barre sessions. Class sizes are kept small, though you can always request a one-on-one. The spa offers massages and facials, including a signature massage that combines hot stone and Swedish techniques. Facials use Elemis products.
