About the Studio
A studio built for people who take their wellbeing seriously.
Reformer Pilates Algarve is a boutique studio in Almancil, designed from the ground up to be the opposite of a crowded gym class. We keep class sizes small, a maximum of eight people, so that every client receives individualised attention, proper corrections, and a proper workout.
Whether you are stepping onto a Reformer for the first time or deepening a practice you have had for years, you will find a class that meets you exactly where you are. Our studio is easy to reach from across the Algarve — Vilamoura, Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo, and Loulé are all within 15 minutes.
Explore ClassesWhat We Offer
Four class types. One studio. Every level welcome.
Open Reformer
The perfect starting point and a lifelong practice. Open Reformer is suitable for complete beginners through to experienced practitioners. Every movement is coached with progressions and modifications so you work at exactly the right level for your body.
Dynamic Reformer
A higher-intensity class for clients who are confident on the Reformer and ready to push further. Expect more complex sequences, greater challenge, and a deeper burn. Not recommended as a first class.
Reformer & Tower
A full-body session that combines the Reformer with the Tower — a vertical frame that adds a whole new dimension to your practice. Excellent for building strength, stability, and control from head to toe.
Stretch & Mobility
Gentle, restorative, and deeply effective. This class uses the Reformer to open the body, release tension, and restore range of motion. Ideal after a long week, for injury recovery, or simply as a counterbalance to more intense training.
Your Instructor
Victoria
Founder & Lead Instructor
Hi, I'm Victoria — and honestly, I never thought I'd be someone who loved exercise. I spent years trying different classes, never really feeling connected to any of it. Then I discovered Reformer Pilates, and everything changed. It challenged me in a way that felt empowering, not overwhelming. I found strength I didn't know I had, and my confidence grew. I knew pretty quickly that this was something I wanted to share with others.
I trained as a yoga teacher first, then went deep into Pilates — teaching 1:1s, duets, group mat classes, group Reformer, and full studio equipment sessions in Sydney, Australia for many years. Over 13 years of teaching later, I keep coming back to the Reformer. And now I absolutely love the Tower too — if you haven't tried it yet, you really should.
When I arrived in Portugal eight years ago, heavily pregnant and desperate for a Reformer class, there was simply nowhere to go. The nearest option was a 45 minute drive away and I didn't even have a car. So I built what was missing. I started with one Reformer and a handful of curious clients, and the studio grew entirely by word of mouth. That is still the thing I am most proud of.
I keep classes small because I genuinely care about what happens to your body in the room. I will notice your alignment, correct your form, and make sure every session is worth your time. Whether you are completely new to Pilates or have been practising for years — you are in the right place.
