When winter sets in, it’s hard to find motivation — unless the room’s already heated to 40 degrees.
Hot Pilates has quickly become Sydney’s go-to for a workout that’s equal parts sculpting and sweat therapy. Whether it’s mat or reformer, these classes are high-energy, low-impact, and set in infrared-heated rooms designed to boost circulation, fire up your muscles, and keep the seasonal slump at bay.
If you’re after a burn that feels as good as it looks, these are the Sydney studios delivering the heat.

While not strictly heated, their signature hot pilates class (a personal favourite of mine) is set to energising playlists and infrared warmth, and combines strength and flow in a way that’s both accessible and effective. The studios are airy and chic, and the workout leaves you a little sore (in the best way).
