In focus: you and mindful movement

At the BFF Studio we designed every detail to serve the training. An uncluttered, minimalist space, pleasant lighting, plenty of natural light and a long mirrored wall so you can see and correct your movements perfectly.

At BFF the space is as much part of the experience as the movement itself. Clean design, natural light and considered details create an inspiring environment for every class.

Equipment

Reformers of our own design.

The BFF Reformers are premium machines designed and built specifically for our studio. Their precise, quiet operation and adjustable spring resistance mean every movement can be controlled, continuous and adapted to your body.

And in our small-group classes there is space and attention for everyone — so that you do not just follow the movements, but genuinely understand and feel them.

The basics

If you are new to the method.

What is a Reformer?

The Reformer is one of the core machines of classical Pilates, originally designed with four springs of equal strength and leather straps. Many modern versions have appeared over the years, but the principle is the same: movement built on controlled, functional muscle work combined with active stretching.

Training on the Reformer develops strength, stability and posture while lengthening and shaping the muscles. The movements are precise yet continuous — which is what builds long, toned muscles and a strong core, gently and with low joint impact.

What is Contemporary Pilates?

Contemporary Pilates builds on the foundations of classical Pilates, adding modern movement principles, functional elements and a continuous flow. A 50-minute full-body class that combines precise, controlled strengthening with more dynamic sections and stretching.

The movement stays controlled throughout, while continuous muscle work gives the class intensity and momentum. The result: strength, flexibility, confidence and a new kind of body awareness.

Private classes

When the goal is very specific.

The number of private classes at our studio is limited. We recommend them if you have specific goals, want to progress in a particular area, or want to return to movement safely after an injury.

As a child I could never sit still and wanted to try just about every sport — I did ballet, swam and rode horses; movement was always part of my life in one form or another. I found Pilates in 2017 after a sports injury, and it pulled me in fast.

I opened BFF in 2020 because I wanted to bring to Budapest the modern, dynamic Pilates experience I had come across abroad. Since then, as a Mat, Reformer and Chair instructor, I keep learning, teaching and drawing inspiration from how Pilates and the world of movement evolve around us.

BFF keeps changing with me too. Holding on to the foundations of classical Pilates, we always look for new approaches — and for ways to make movement intelligent, challenging and an experience you want to come back to again and again.

Sport has always been part of my life — I started competing in fitness in 2013 and have been working as a personal trainer since 2015.

Even after competing I kept looking for a form of movement that complements weight training — and that is how I found pilates in 2021, when I first came to BFF as a guest. The variety of the classes, the challenge and the feeling of switching off completely won me over immediately. In pilates I found the perfect balance of movement, and as an instructor I want to share that with others.

In my classes you can expect dynamic, strength-focused exercises that always match the level of the group — with a little challenge guaranteed every time.

I have tried many kinds of movement — athletics, dance, boxing — but it was horse riding that brought real presence. The true breakthrough, though, came with Pilates: I met the Reformer in 2020 and within a few weeks I could feel the change in body and mind. I completed the London Pilates Academy training and currently teach alongside my main job. A calm, supportive atmosphere matters to me, where everyone can focus on themselves and progress at their own pace. I build my classes deliberately and methodically, in both Hungarian and English, for every level.

Hi everyone! I could say sport has always been part of my life, but it has not: I worked in an office for years and eventually burned out.

Yoga helped me find my way back to myself, and I started my fitness career as a bikram instructor. Four years ago I found a new passion in Pilates. The BFF Pilates studio is part of my daily life: I am both studio manager and instructor.

In my free time my daughter and I go riding whenever we can. My classes are dynamic, with varied exercises — every session is a little different. You are going to love it!

Sport has always been an important part of my life, but after an injury and surgery I lost the form of movement I loved most. Reformer Pilates gave me a new start: its mindfulness and anatomical foundations captivated me straight away. I completed an instructor training in London and teach my classes in both Hungarian and English. I practised throughout my pregnancy, so I pay particular attention to expectant mothers and to guests who are recovering. In my classes you can expect precise, controlled movement and a supportive, safe atmosphere.

Movement has always been part of my life — I rode horses, danced and tried many kinds of training. Pilates and running brought me balance, an “alert meditation”. On the Mat I first experienced the conscious harmony of breath, body and mind, and the Reformer took me deeper still. I have completed fitness instructor, Reformer and Mat Pilates trainings. In my classes I focus on precision, conscious use of the body and energetic, flowing movement.

Movement has always been part of my life — from basketball to strength training — but over time what mattered more was how I felt while doing it. I found pilates on my own journey of self-discovery, and it is still a space where anyone can find their own strength. I do not believe in the “ideal body”; progress happens at everyone’s own pace. I have worked with many people, and that taught me the importance of connection. As an instructor my goal is to support each guest exactly where they are — even if we move in one room, we are all on our own path.

I was drawn to Barre for the way it lengthens, makes me feel stronger and restores alignment. After 10 years in the energy industry, I know firsthand how long hours, desk work and daily stress can take a toll on our posture.

Barre has become my way to reset — it gives me energy and clears my mind. In my classes expect intentional, full-body movement, deep muscle burn and breath-led flow. I can’t wait to move with you!
