The ‘Fortides Formula’

THE BRAND

Inspired by the ocean’s natural gravitational pull and its healing properties, Fortides Pilates is about embracing the flow & change in our daily lives and moving towards the things that make us feel most alive and at peace. We’ve created a beautiful space in the heart of Roncesvalles for individuals to build strength and practice self-care.

TRANSFORMATIVE WORKOUTS

The benefits of reformer Pilates aren’t just physical — they’re a gateway to a stronger, more mindful you. By anchoring each movement in breath and focusing on the body’s powerhouse, this practice becomes more than exercise; it’s a deliberate, low-impact ritual that challenges your limits while respecting your body’s need for care. Because real transformation happens when you honor both effort and ease.

OUR PROMISE

Our signature method combines classical Pilates with a modern twist to give you a dynamic, full-body workout every time. You can expect seamless sequencing and progressive movements that target various different muscle groups to ensure a comprehensive strength-training and mobility based workout every time.
