Pilates apps have come a long way. Whether you’re a complete beginner building a home practice or you just want something to keep you moving when you can’t get to a class, there are some genuinely good options out there.
One honest note before we start: the app market changes quickly. Pricing and features may have changed since this was written, so it’s always worth checking current reviews before committing to a subscription. That said, these are all well-established platforms that have stood the test of time.
1. Pilates Anytime
One of the most comprehensive Pilates platforms around. Over 3,000 videos covering everything from beginner mat work to reformer classes with world-class instructors. Classes are easy to filter by level, duration, and equipment. There’s also a strong educational side — workshops and tutorials, not just workouts.
Subscription-based, with a free trial.
2. Blogilates
Created by certified instructor Cassey Ho, this combines Pilates-inspired movement with strength and cardio. Monthly workout calendars guide you through a structured programme. Lots of free content available alongside the premium subscription.
3. Glo
Primarily a yoga app, but with a solid Pilates section. Good filtering options — you can search by teacher, duration, and level. Worth considering if you want to mix Pilates with yoga or meditation in one place. Subscription with a free trial.
4. Pilatesology
Classical Pilates taught true to its origins. All instructors are deeply rooted in the original Joseph Pilates method. If you want to learn Pilates properly rather than just doing feel-good movement, this is worth exploring. Subscription with a free trial.
5. Pure Pilates
Studio-quality instruction for home practice. Good range of levels, with targeted workouts for core, posture, and flexibility. Clear instruction throughout, and short options for when time is tight.
6. Daily Burn
A general fitness app with a good Pilates section. Worth considering if you want variety beyond Pilates — it covers a wide range of workout styles. The “Daily Burn 365” feature delivers a fresh workout every day. Subscription with a free trial.
7. Sweat
Best known for the BBG programme, Sweat also includes Pilates-inspired sessions alongside yoga, strength, and HIIT. Good if you want Pilates as part of a broader training plan rather than a dedicated Pilates platform.
8. Pilates Barre On Demand
Combines Pilates with ballet barre movement. A different feel to traditional Pilates — more rhythmic and graceful. Good modifications throughout. Subscription with a free trial period.
9. 5 Minute Pilates Workouts
Does exactly what it says. Short, focused sessions targeting different body areas. Useful for fitting in some movement on busy days. Mostly free, with in-app purchases for additional content.
10. Asana Rebel
Yoga and Pilates combined, with extras like guided meditation and sleep support. A broader wellness app rather than a pure Pilates platform. Subscription-based with a free trial.
11. Peacock Pilates London
A respected London studio that moved online and stayed there. High-quality classes, live sessions available, and a genuine sense of community. Worth exploring if you want something with a studio feel.
12. FitOn
Free to use, which makes it one of the most accessible options on this list. Pilates alongside HIIT, yoga, strength, and dance. Community features and workout challenges if that kind of motivation helps. Premium subscription available for extra features.
13. Peloton Digital
Not just for spin bikes. The Peloton app includes Pilates classes alongside cycling, running, strength, and yoga. Live classes and a large on-demand library. One subscription covers everything. Good if you’re already in the Peloton ecosystem.
14. Alo Moves
Beautiful production values and excellent instructors. Known for yoga but the Pilates content is strong and well-organised. Good filtering by level, style, and duration. Subscription with a free trial.
15. Pilates by Lumowell
A straightforward, accessible option. Workouts of different lengths and levels, clear video instruction, and practical features like workout reminders. Free to download with premium content available.
Bonus: YouTube
Not an app, but genuinely one of the best free Pilates resources available. You have access to hundreds of full-length classes without paying anything.
My own channel has over 300 free workouts for all levels — mat, reformer-inspired, and everything in between. No subscription, no algorithm to navigate. Just Pilates, whenever you need it.
