Our Story

February 2015 & two London-based Pilates enthusiasts meet for lunch & leave with an idea to bring reformer Pilates into a mainstream sphere in Oslo. We didn’t know each other well (sounds risky, right?!), but armed with our moleskins, a love of Pilates & a gut feel for great chemistry together, we met regularly in London & Oslo over the next 3 years to plan our brand & studio before opening in January 2018 having become the best of friends! Lucky ending.

Kindly put, our beginnings were humble. We built the business one client at a time in a 25 square meter room in a shared block of flats on the west side of Oslo with some interesting neighbours. At that time, whilst we certainly didn’t have a show-stopping studio, we became known for high quality instruction & the depth of knowledge of our clients. These days, you’ll find our beautiful, newly refurbished boutique studios in both Frogner & Skøyen.

We have always felt very focused about our vision for SPACE: teaching expertise, warmth & variety, delivered by a collaborative team of highly qualified Pilates professionals who make it fun!

We’re not here to tell you that Pilates is the only thing you need - it’s not! We believe that Pilates should be the foundation for a broader approach to a healthier lifestyle. The other parts that form the whole are as unique as you! Pilates is a highly versatile practice that, aside from correcting posture & increasing strength & homeostasis, also enhances the other activities in your life that are important to you - that’s one of the many reasons we love it.

At SPACE, we celebrate individuality & we’ll help you find your special connection with Pilates. You’ll always have the warmest of welcomes with us - we can’t wait to meet you!
