Energy Pilates & Yoga

The yoga trend in KL doesn’t seem to be waning. In fact, a new chain of yoga studios has just opened up a new outlet at Plaza Damas. Its other two outlets are at Plaza Cheras and Kepong. Energy positions itself as a Pilates and yoga lifestyle club. A fancy positioning but essentially it is still a yoga centre.

Energy has 30 professional Pilates and yoga trainers conducting about 60 classes per week, which covers a wide variation of yoga and Pilates styles, including Hatha, Ashtanga, Yoga Therapy, Yin Yoga, Hot Flow and Hot Stretch. There’s also Fitball and belly dancing too if you prefer something fun. Nevertheless, Energy is known for its Chi Pilates (a combination of Tai Chui and Pilates), Yogalates (a combination of yoga and Pilates) and X-Pilates (extreme Pilates for advanced practitioners) classes.

There are three studios with natural ventilation. Classes are kept to a maximum of 20 to 25 people so that everyone gets the trainer’s attention. And unlike some yoga centres that cater more to women, Energy claims to devote equally to both men and women. There are shower rooms, lockers and steam rooms for both sexes. The lounge area comes with a bar, which serves healthy drinks, and it is Wifi-enabled. Membership starts at RM112
