About Kink Pilates

Situated high above Waltham’s Moody Street, our loft-like studio is designed to help you connect to the natural world and escape the stress of everyday life. Infused with abundant natural light, greenery and plenty of fresh air, you will emerge feeling inspired and invigorated.

We have two studios for group classes - reformer and tower. With a maximum of six machines in each, our group classes are highly individualized. In this intimate setting, our instructors can be mindful of personal goals, safety modifications and give each client a truly ‘boutique’ movement experience. 

In addition to our group studios, we have a separate suite for clients who prefer to train privately.

OWNER + LEAD TRAINER

Meet Sarah

Well, hi. I’m the owner and lead trainer here at Kink. If Pilates credentials are important to you, I’m comprehensively certified by Balanced Body with over 4000 hours of teaching experience. If zodiac signs are important, I’m a Scorpio. I opened Kink because I saw a need for a studio where people could walk in and feel welcome, and not intimidated. Where there wasn’t a sea of reformers to get lost in the crowd. Where the people you take class with cheer you on. You know the way CrossFit people are like DIEHARD? I wanted to build a community like that. Just, without the actual CrossFit part because that sh*t is rough on your joints (sorry Crossfit nuts!). Its hard to convey the spirit of kink in a bio on a website, so I hope you’ll just come on in for a class and see for yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Absolutely! We encourage fitness levels and we’ve made Kink Pilates a safe space where we seek to mutually motivate, inspire and uplift. If you are brand new to Pilates you can look for our REFORMER x fundamentals classes - those move a little slower and cover the basics. If you need to book into another type of class, we recommend getting to class a bit early and letting your instructor know. They will be happy to provide you with extra attention and modifications throughout your class. If there is something specific you are looking to address and want more one-on-one time, book an introductory private session at Kink.

  • Why yes we do. Thank you for asking. New clients can take either one class for $35 or three classes for $89. If you are brand new to Pilates - we strongly encourage the “3-pack” - one class isn’t really enough to know if the reformer is right for you. If you’ve taken other Pilates classes and are just trying out the studio - we are pretty confident one class is all you’ll need. IYKYK, right?

    We also have an introductory private session for $95.

  • We’ve worked hard to make our prices clear, fair and transparent. We have a lot of options so you can balance flexibility and cost.
