My health and fitness journey has finally led me to Pilates. I am on the hunt for the Best Pilates Studios in Paris. Where I found the HUNDRED Pilates located in the heart of Paris steps away from Opera. HUNDRED Classical Pilates Studio 3 rue la Feuillade, 75001 Paris. A small minimalist and eco-friendly place to stretch and where I learned to elongate my spine.
HUNDRED Pilates Studio Paris
@stylecartelmedia we’re using this winter season to finally dip our own toes into all the pilates talk- and this week we’re at Hundred Pilates studio with Marine #fyp #pourtoi #foryou #pilates #pilatesworkout #paris ♬ 1 Thing (Instrumental) – Amerie
Named after the quintessential Pilates mat exercise performed at the beginning of most Pilates classes. The exercise is named after the 100 pumps your arms make while holding your legs, head, and shoulders off the mat. My first introduction to the HUNDRED Pilates studio was a private lesson with Marine the mother of this Paris-based Pilates studio.
After explaining to Marine that I had a hernia, she took me through my solo class based on my workout needs. I wanted to strengthen my stomach wall without a high-impact workout. Who doesn’t like a workout that is tailored for them?
She was so nice and we spoke in French and English. She explained each exercise and position and how it worked my body. Plus the history of the methods.
When I left the class that day I felt like a new person. I walked out of the studio long, lean, standing up tall and gliding down the streets of Paris like a runway model. Shoulders back, and chest out, not wanting to return to my desk and computer. I was addicted.

A few weeks later I returned to the HUNDRED Pilates studio for a REFORMER foundations group class with the Italian instructor Paola. I was part of the family now in an intimate REFORMER class ready to learn how to use this interesting-looking machine. It was so cute the instructor told me I was tall, well actually I had long legs so we had to adjust the machine.
The class was at 8:00 AM, which fit in with my aim to get up early and start my day with stretching and exercise. It set the tone for my day Happy & Healthy. I left the class with a smile on my face, the tightness in my back was gone. Plus I was able to practice my Italian and Spanish.
This also helped with my mental health. It has been difficult for me to stay positive and patient when you are not happy with your body. Pilates is teaching me to be patient through exercise that won’t put a strain on my core, but help me build it up for my continued health journey. By strengthening my core without hurting it more.
At Hundred, they aim to share with you the excellence in training with the Joseph Pilates developed style: challenging, structured, effective, and dynamic.
I was ready for more than 50 energizing minutes! I will be coming back. Plus I love the studio is so sustainable, with a changing room, with everything from showers, deodorants and all the eco-friendly animates you will need and feel good using. Natural materials and ventilation through air renewal, zero plastic and responsible consumption is the law in the studio.
Their teachers are classically and comprehensively certified in Pilates. I want to thank all the instructors who were patient with me and encouraged my Pilates journey in Paris. They listened to my needs and provided a tailor-made training program that made me feel like Wonder Woman.
