The programmes at Pilates Monaco focus largely on spinal mobility, making this site a good choice for those looking to relieve back issues and pressures. Prices start at €55 per person for a 50-minute session. Click here for more information.
Chorus Corpus in the Jardin Exotique neighbourhood blends Pilates techniques with those of yoga and dance. The studio is run by Claire Amato Marsan and offers an array of different programmes, from Pilates Matwork to Barre Fusion and Active Body Ballet.

The unique Pilates studio of Geko in Roquebrune Cap Martin has arguably the best view of all the venues to feature in this list. Located in an idyllic property surrounded by olive trees and with a vista out over the Mediterranean, students here revel in the natural and bright setting. As well as Pilates, Geko offers yoga classes on a balcony that overlooks the Roquebrune peninsula and its founder, Celia Hamouda, also provides holistic consultations and special experiences, such as her Full Moon ceremony. Reservations can be made through the Geko Instagram page.
