Dynamic Mat Pilates

Minimal equipment, maximum control.

Dynamic Mat Pilates strips things back to the essentials – your body, a mat, and a well-sequenced class that makes both work harder than you’d expect.

Curated by our physios and instructors, our version of mat Pilates is dynamic, specific, and bold. We target key muscle groups — core, glutes, arms, and legs – challenge key movements and postures, and add our own interesting twists along the way.

The integration of bodyweight resistance and props will leave you feeling long, lean, and strong. At Sum of Us, every session is cued with precision, progressed intelligently, and designed to leave you feeling worked.

Who Mat Pilates is For

Dynamic Mat is one of the most accessible classes on our timetable – and one of the most underestimated.

Beginners: a great starting point if you’re new to Pilates and want to build foundations before adding equipment
Reformer regulars: an excellent complement to your existing practice, challenging the body in different ways
People returning from injury: the low-impact, controlled nature of mat work suits those building back gradually
Those looking for a consistent, portable practice: ideal if you travel frequently or want something you can carry into your life beyond the studio
Anyone who wants to move better: improved posture, core control, and body awareness are useful, whether you’re an athlete or sit at a desk all day

What to Expect in Class

A Dynamic Mat Pilates class at Sum of Us runs for 45 minutes. In this time, you’ll move through a sequenced full-body workout – beginning with activation and breath work, building through core and stability exercises, and finishing with a lengthening flow to close.

Sessions incorporate light equipment including dumbbells, wrist and ankle weights, and resistance bands to add load and variety where it’s most effective. Mats and all equipment are provided – just bring yourself.
