Stretch Studio Pilates Parks

What is it? A boutique reformer and mat studio set inside the YARD 49 complex on Sukhumvit 49 – a tree-lined creative hub that already has decent brunch options, which is frankly ideal. Owner Pang has recently expanded the space to include eight reformer machines and a private room fitted with a Cadillac, giving the studio a lot more flexibility than its relaxed vibe might suggest. Classes are small, staff are warm and first-timers are welcomed like regulars from day one.

Why we love it: It’s encouraging without being patronising. The instructors are attentive and genuinely invested, the energy in class is social and upbeat and the setting makes it easy to turn a 7am session into a full morning out. 

Time Out tip: If you're brand new to reformer, ask about their beginner slots – Pang's team will walk you through the mechanics properly rather than throwing you in at the deep end. The new Cadillac private room is worth booking for a one-on-one if you want something more targeted.
