Took the Classical AF class with Alyson and can’t recommend enough. Being a newcomer can be intimidating, but not at this place! Alyson is extremely knowledgeable, kind and a great instructor. Class was challenging in all the right ways. Come check this studio out!

Melissa at the Uptown location was an incredible instructor. Her class was very beginner friendly and she was very observant, especially with any beginners taking her class! We took her ‘Classical AF’ class and it was perfect!

Love Oak Cliff Pilates! No matter which location I take a class at, the instructors are always patient, encouraging, and great about offering guidance to improve form and help me get the most out of the workout.

A Pilates in the Park mat class on the grass in Dallas

It started on the grass.

In 2016, founder Amanda Mecsey started teaching free Pilates in the park at Kidd Springs Park, for whoever wanted to come. Five of those first members are still taking class today.

The first studio opened in Bishop Arts in 2021. Today Oak Cliff Pilates is three Dallas studios and more than 500 members, and Pilates in the Park still runs at Halperin, Griggs and Tietze parks.

New to the reformer

Your first class,
start to finish.

  1. Arrive early

    Come 15 minutes before class for your orientation. Grip socks are required, and spare pairs are at the front desk.

  2. Meet the reformer

    An introduction to the equipment, how class runs and how to stay safe on it.

  3. Warm up

    Gentle warm-up exercises before the work starts.

  4. Learn the moves

    Basic movements with detailed instruction, and modifications whenever you need them.

  5. Cool down

    Stretching to finish. If your legs shake, that’s the “Pilates shake” and it’s completely normal.

  • Never done Pilates?

    Every group reformer class welcomes complete beginners. The springs adjust to any fitness level.

  • Not flexible?

    You don’t need to be. The reformer assists your stretches, and Pilates builds flexibility over time.

  • A guy?

    Pilates was created by a man, Joseph Pilates. Men are welcome and thrive in OCP classes.

  • After the form?
