REALZ Pilates

Nice cozy studio and very central. I recently started and hopefully I'll enjoy it further. I am not a big fan of the classic pilates, but this is very different. The machines are really good...this type of pilates is focused on stretching your body, working out the different muscle categories, getting more strength and better balance...and everything in slow motion, which makes one feel the workout even more intense. The trainers seem like they know very well what they're doing, very helpful in guidance and friendly. I happily recommend the place!

I booked a class over for 2 months, just want to Pilates while i was travelling to Berlin, Kathleen, the instructor is lovely person, well-trained, helpful, induction step by step and help adjust the spring i really enjoy the class . Her studio is not that big but it’s decent, full option.

My daughter and I attended three classes and hope to attend one more before I return to the states. Both instructors were kind and easy to follow. Kathryn is friendly and took time to connect. I do Pilates twice a week at home. The classes were comparable to what I am use to. I loved the location and studio design. If you love Pilates you must try it. You’ll be pleased!

I did a private class at Realz Pilates with Kathleen and was very pleased! The studio is conveniently located near Friedrichstraße station. The equipment is brand new and the studio is aesthetically pleasing. Kathleen brought her many years of Pilates, general fitness, and dance background to the session . She uses a nice balance of the precision and control needed for Pilates as well as some of the more relaxed and free movement found in Yoga and dance. I had a great workout which challenged my abilities and showed me some new things too (including some German!). Highly recommend it.

This is my absolute favorite Pilates studios. Beautiful space, great location, fantastic equipment and a team of trainers that will change your life and body. I been going to Realz pretty regularly (around 4x per week) for the last couple of months and I’m super happy that I found Kathleen and her team. Susan and Josephine are incredible teachers.

I have been taking private lessons with Kathleen at Realz Pilates. I was motivated because I felt increasingly limited by old injuries. My body was out of balance with pain and stress points at my feet, knees, and other connected areas, and I was stiff. It kind of blows my mind how much better I feel after six weeks or so. I’m straighter, taller, more flexible, even happier, and the old physical limits are decreasing. Kathleen is very natural and easy to work with. She is attentive and sees both large scale and subtle places of imbalance and immobility in the body. She addresses these with endless creativity using her Pilates machines and other aids. Her studio is up-to-date with Pilates equipment. It’s clean, spacious, and light. I recommend Realz Pilates without reservation.

I cannot recommend Kathleen and her beautiful studio enough!! She is my favorite Pilates instructor in Berlin. Kathleen is innovative, highly trained, and has the kindest soul. I look forward to her class every week!

I'm a Pilates instructor from San Francisco and hadn't found anything near what we have in the Bay Area in Berlin (Pilates is hugely popular and competitive there) until I went to Realz Pilates. Kathleen is spot-on with her cues and selections of exercises she gives, plus she is just lovely! It is indeed "Realz" Pilates!. Beautiful equipment, lovely studio. My favorite in Berlin so far. Thank you, Kathleen!

Kathleen is one of the best pilates instructors I’ve ever had - her classes (offered in English as well as German) are challenging but fun, and her corrections are always spot on. The studio is beautiful, and all of the equipment is brand new.

Coming from New York, I am so happy to find a reformer class that I LOVE! I am constantly impressed with how Kathleen runs her classes. The structure varies which is great but there are also elements that stay the same so you can feel yourself improving. Overall, incredibly pleased to find this little gift in Berlin!

Im very happy to have found Realz Pilates! After 9 sessions I feel much better, I have more flexibility and my muscles are stronger. Kathleen is a great teacher, very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended!

PROS: The Pilates studio is very well equiped and group sizes are kept to a maximum of five. Most trainers are awesome. Prices are on the top end, but you get what you pay for. CONS: Usually we have experienced the owner Kathleen kind, professional and as a great teacher overall. The last time we went there we forgot our pass and did not bring any money... were told we could not train that day, plus were excpected to pay for the booked lesson later on, EVENTHOUGH we were forbidden to take part in it. After that were stunned and left. We expected her to maybe have a bit of a tough day and later reach out to us... maybe she forgot or had some other reason, but we have never heard from her since. bottome line: Keep those belly butttons in :)

Huge fan of both the tower mat and reformer classes! Kathleen explains everything so well (in English too!) and really understands the body. The classes are also small so they feel very personal. I can already feel and see a big difference in my core after only a few classes.

I took a drop in class to see how's the studio and the quality of lesson and I've love it. The studio was very bright and beautiful located in Mitte and the lesson was very intense and effective. I can't speak German so the teacher spoke English just for me. After the trial I immediately just got myself the 10 passes to continue the lesson.
