Pilates in Carpina: a sunset class on the EGR GYM rooftop

At EGR GYM, a gym in Carpina, Pernambuco (Brazil), mat pilates is part of Balance Center, a program that brings together yoga and mat pilates. On October 9, 2026, the gym's rooftop, on the second floor and overlooking the city, hosted a sunset mat pilates class, a new format in a setting that made the experience even more special.

The class brings to life an idea that had been part of the gym's design from the start: using the second-floor terrace as a training space. In this post, we share what the experience was like and what the program offers.

What is the EGR GYM rooftop like?

EGR GYM has three training floors. On the second floor, in addition to the spinning room and the cross, functional and martial arts spaces, you will find the open terrace, with a privileged view of Carpina. Among the gym's highlights, it is described precisely as the terrace for sunset classes. The tour of the EGR GYM facilities shows what is on each floor.

The space's potential caught people's attention as early as opening night. In one of the tour videos published in September, the visitor commented that she could already picture group classes there, with the sunset view, and that the experience would be very motivating. In October, the rooftop hosted the mat pilates class.

What was the mat pilates class on the rooftop like?

In the video published on October 9, our guest takes her first mat pilates class at EGR GYM. Right at the start, she shares what she hopes to get from the practice:

• mobility and flexibility;
• pain relief;
• better sleep quality;
• quality of life.

About the setting, she sums it up:

“A sunset class with this amazing view. How could you not love it?”

At the end, she points out that mat pilates works a lot on body awareness, flexibility, strength and balance, and notes that some movements that look easy actually demand a lot from the body. It is a good reminder: a gentle workout is not an effortless workout.

What is Balance Center, the yoga and mat pilates program?

Mat pilates is part of Balance Center, a program that brings together yoga and mat pilates under the motto “Strengthen the body and calm the mind.” Classes focus on strength, mobility and breathing, with gentle, progressive and safe exercises, within a methodology geared toward physical and mental balance. In other words, it is a program to relieve the tension of daily life and leave class feeling lighter.

Who it is for

• people with stressful routines;
• those seeking physical and emotional well-being;
• those who need to improve flexibility and body awareness.

Program goals

• reduce everyday stress and tension;
• relieve muscle pain and discomfort;
• improve mobility and flexibility;
• develop balance, body awareness and posture;
• strengthen the core.

At the end of each class, what the program aims for is a feeling of calm and well-being. Among the gym's eight programs, Balance Center is in the low-intensity group, alongside Zero Impact and Life in Motion, which makes it a possible entry point for those looking for a calmer workout without giving up strength and body awareness.

How can you join the pilates classes at EGR GYM?

Balance Center is one of EGR GYM's eight group training programs and can be combined with weight training and with other programs, as shown in the guide to the group training programs. For those who are just starting out, or getting back to physical activity after a break, the Quality of Life Assessment, a step in the enrollment process, looks at sleep, energy, nutrition, pain and routine and helps our team recommend the most suitable program.

As our guest mentioned at the end of the video, anyone interested in trying mat pilates can sign up at EGR GYM. After enrollment, the class schedule and spot booking are available in the members' training app.
