FS8 Asok

What is it?: A high-energy hybrid studio in The Column Tower on Sukhumvit 16, where reformer Pilates collides with mat work, functional training and cardio intervals in a single 45-minute class. Sessions run with 10-12 people; the workout sequence plays on screens around the room while the instructor moves through the group giving real-time corrections. 

Why we love it: You get the core engagement and alignment benefits of Pilates inside a cardio-intensive session that leaves you actually sweaty. The community here is tight-knit, the early-morning slots have an almost cult-level following and the regulars are the type who make you want to show up more.

Time Out tip: Not a place to start if you've never touched a reformer – come with at least some basic experience. The early morning slots are worth the alarm if you want the full FS8 atmosphere.
