This Is the Best Place to Start Your Pilates Journey, Here’s Why

Pilates has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, with more people discovering its benefits. If you’re looking to start Pilates in Lebanon, we know the perfect place for you.

The Attic Pilates Studio was founded in 2023, but it has already become a renowned studio in Lebanon. With a location in Mansourieh and now in Horsh Tabet, the studio is showing us just how big (and worth it) the pilates buzz is.

We actually visited the new studio in Horsh Tabet ourselves to get the know-all about what the hype is. As pilates newbies, this is what we learned:

Why The Attic and not anywhere else?

Not everyone should be running a Pilates studio just because it’s trendy. Luckily, the founder of The Attic Pilates Studio, Dr. Charbel Najem, has over 20 years of clinical experience in pain management and sports injuries. He also holds a clinical doctorate and a PhD in pain sciences. These qualifications ensure that your time at The Attic Pilates Studio is both safe and effective, providing you with the best possible experience.

This is why he decided to open the studio. Dr. Najem wants to show people that pilates is more than just a fitness journey, and he’s using his expertise to ensure that whoever joins their community is entering an encouraging, welcoming, and injury-free environment.

So no, pilates is not just making controlled movements while engaging your core on a machine. Experts describe it as a mind-body exercise for a reason, and you need the most qualified individuals to guide you on both the ‘mind’ and ‘body’ part.

Here’s what The Attic has to offer

They are a full team of physical therapists. This studio is redefining what it means to integrate wellness and fitness, blending clinical expertise with dynamic Pilates practices. Basically, what that means is that their programs are ideal for people who don’t love the gym but still want to get fit, as well as people looking to manage pain, and/or recover from injuries.

You’re going to be in quite literally the safest hands because every program they tailor is risk-free and prevents injuries.

Their studio has it all. There’s an entire area in the studio dedicated to their pilates classes, where you’ll find rows of Reformer Allegro machines. Their specialized machines are considered to be some of the best in the pilates business.

They also have a private room for single private sessions. And the best part is that their floor-to-ceiling windows let in as much natural light as possible.

They offer trainings for all fitness levels. Especially if you’re a beginner, you might feel intimidated by the fancy-looking machines and controlled movements. Don’t be scared to try something new just because it looks like everyone knows what they’re doing. Private sessions, one-on-one functional training sessions, pilates and functional training – their team is there to guide you through it all. And they make sure they’re giving you the best program for your goals.

Everyone is getting into Pilates, which suggests there’s something about this form of fitness that resonates with so many people. If you’re still new to the pilates world, we recommend giving it a shot at The Attic Pilates Studio. And if you’re actually a seasoned practitioner, you’ll appreciate the studio’s advanced techniques and expert instructors, who can help you refine your skills and take your practice to the next level
