andNow pilates

andNow is a Pilates studio in Amsterdam’s De Pijp, between the Albert Cuyp Market and Sarphatipark. Set in a light-filled former car garage at street level, the studio has four distinct spaces: a reception area, Reformer studio, Mat studio and a private studio for personal training and independent practice.

 

We deliberately keep our classes small. Reformer classes have a maximum of eight people, giving your teacher the time to see how you move, offer precise corrections and help you progress.

 

Our approach is simple: **one method, one standard of teaching.**

 

Every andNow teacher has completed the full **BASI Comprehensive Teacher Training**, an education of more than 500 hours covering anatomy, movement analysis, posture, exercise adaptation and the complete Pilates repertoire across Mat and apparatus.

 

Because every teacher works from the same BASI foundation, there is consistency between classes, teachers and training formats. What you learn in Personal Training carries into your group classes, and what your teacher observes in class can be developed further in a private session.

 

All our classes are taught in English. Whether you have just arrived in the Netherlands or have lived here for years, you can join from day one. You don’t need to be fit, strong or flexible before you start. Pilates can be adapted to different bodies, ages and levels of experience.

 

## What we offer

 

**Reformer Pilates**

55-minute classes with a maximum of eight people. The Reformer uses springs to provide both resistance and support, allowing exercises to be adapted while developing strength, control and mobility. Four levels take you from your first Reformer class through to advanced practice.

 

**Mat Pilates**

55-minute classes based on the Pilates Mat repertoire. With your own body as the primary resistance, you work on strength, alignment, mobility, breath and control. Mat classes can also be joined online.

 

**Personal Training**

60-minute one-to-one sessions shaped around your body, experience and goals. Your teacher can work across the Pilates apparatus and Mat, whether you are completely new, want more individual attention or are looking to develop your practice further.

 

**Open Studio**

For experienced clients who have built a safe and solid foundation, Open Studio gives you the opportunity to practise independently using our Pilates equipment. Once approved by one of our teachers, you can follow your own programme and work at your own pace.

 

**BASI Teacher Training**

andNow is an official host studio for **BASI Benelux**, offering BASI teacher training programmes for those who want to take their Pilates practice to a professional level.

 

Our connection to BASI goes beyond hosting courses. **andNow founder and teacher Jimmy Zeehandelaar is a BASI Faculty Member and teaches future BASI Comprehensive teachers across Europe.** The same method we teach in our everyday classes is therefore also part of the education taking place within our studio.
