A sustainable approach to exercise
Carbon footprint… in a Pilates studio?! Yes! Here’s how we stay mindful:
All correspondence, receipts and documents are digital - zero paper (other than our dogeared teaching manuals and for cleaning/hygiene purposes)
Limited energy consumption and equipment operated by human POWER!
Little water wastage and not an urn or cup in sight. Our clients bring their own water in their resusable bottles
Environmentally friendly cleaning products
We recycle everything we can, including used equipment
We source from, and partner with, companies who make efforts to operate sustainably
Our Story - how it started
February 2015 and two London-based Pilates enthusiasts meet for lunch and leave with an idea to bring reformer Pilates into a mainstream sphere in Oslo. We didn’t know each other well (sounds risky!), but armed with our moleskins, a love of Pilates and a gut feel for great chemistry together, we met regularly in London and Oslo over the next 3 years to plan our brand and studio before opening in January 2018 having become the best of friends - lucky ending!
Kindly put, our beginnings were humble and we had zero clients. Zero. 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 and the depth of knowledge of our clients. These days, you’ll find our sensory, newly refurbished boutique studios in Frogner, Skøyen and Vinderen.
We have always felt focused about our vision for SPACE: teaching expertise, warmth and variety, delivered by a collaborative and curious 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! Pilates is a highly versatile practice that, aside from correcting posture and increasing strength and mobility, 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 love that everyone’s different and 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!
