MatchaRated · Global Pilates Rankings · 2026
The highest-rated Pilates studios across the 13 cities rated so far, on one independent, data-driven scale. One entry per brand.
Global Top 10 on one shared scale (ratings build 2026-10-17). Studios with measured Instagram reach use their real figure; missing reach is scored below median. Scores /10 on the shared global scale.
City scores are set within each city's own market.
Rankings are independent and recalculated from scores; they can't be bought, and no paid product affects a score. "Provisional" marks studios whose Instagram reach has not yet been measured: they are scored with a below-median social value, so verified data always counts for more.
The MatchaRated Group One independent standard across the fitness & sports industry
Approximate Pilates studios per city, 2026. Every mapped studio carries a preliminary MatchaRated score.
Independent, data-driven Pilates ratings, city by city, worldwide: scored out of 10, ranked in the top 5 in each city, with public and industry votes. Every studio starts with a preliminary score and improves it as they share their details.
MatchaRated is a neutral referee for Pilates, run the way S&P and Fitch independently rate the world's companies: no business ties to anyone we rate, and ratings no one can buy. We are not owned by, partnered with or paid by any studio chain, any Pilates equipment maker, or any training or certification body.
Studio chains, equipment manufacturers and certification bodies are respected commercial businesses, and each has a product, a programme or a method to sell. None is a neutral referee. Until now there has been no overall independent agency for Pilates.
Ratings that can't be bought. No commercial ties. One independent standard for every studio in the world.The MatchaRated independence pledge
The official accolades
MatchaRatedScore 1–10The MatchaRated Awards · 2026
Four official MatchaRated Awards: independent honours earned on merit, never bought.
Conferred each year in every city we rate, under the same independent standard that governs every MatchaRated score.
The year's highest honour, reserved for the city's finest studio.
The studio most celebrated by the people who train there.
The studio held in highest regard by the Pilates profession itself.
The year's standout teacher, recognised for exceptional influence on the craft.
Wholly independent and earned on merit alone. Every winner receives a verified MatchaRated certificate and seal. Awards can't be bought, sponsored or negotiated, and no fee is ever charged.
The dual rating
Every Pilates studio we rate receives an independent score out of 10 and, within its city, a Top-5 rank. The score tells you how good it is against the global standard; the rank tells you where it stands locally.
One scale, applied identically in every city, so an 8 in Canggu means the same as an 8 in London or New York. Each score is built from checked facts and clearly labelled Provisional or Verified.
Illustrative: a score of 8 on the 1–10 scale.
The five highest-scoring Pilates studios in each city are ranked #1 to #5 and earn a dated Top-5 banner. Ranks are recalculated from scores, never sold or negotiated.
Score + Rank. Example: “8.8 · #1 in Canggu 2026”. Both are published with their date, their status and the methodology behind them.
Every MatchaRated score is made of three parts: the facts we check against our published standard, plus two votes, one from the public and one from the Pilates industry.
Your space, equipment, instructor qualifications, classes and service. Every fact is sourced, dated and checked against the standard.
Votes from real clients: one per person, per studio, with fake and duplicate votes screened out.
Votes from qualified instructors, studio owners and Pilates professionals: the people who know the craft best.
Votes add to the score; they never replace the standard. Every vote is checked, and no studio can buy votes, trade them or offer rewards for them. How much each part counts is published in full.

Provisional MatchaRated scores /10 from the ratings build of 17 Oct 2026, built from public information; they become Verified once a studio answers our questionnaire and we film a visit. Equal scores are listed in rank order from the underlying data.
Pilates People's Choice · 2026 vote
Vote for the best Pilates studio in your city. Your vote counts towards the studio's MatchaRated score, alongside the facts we check and the industry vote. Then share it: the more members who back a studio, the further its name travels.
Two global votes, open to everyone, wherever you live. Name your dream, add it to your wishlist and share it with your Pilates friends.
“The studio I'd fly anywhere to take a class at.”
Any Pilates studio on Earth, from a reformer loft in London to a jungle shala in Bali. The world's most-wished-for studio is named the MatchaRated Dream Studio of 2026.
“The instructor I'd most love to take one class with.”
The legend, the master teacher or the rising star whose class is on your bucket list, wherever they teach. The world's most-wished-for teacher is named the MatchaRated Dream Instructor of 2026.
Fair voting, verified. One verified vote per person, per category. Sharing your link is encouraged; buying, trading or rewarding votes is not, and suspicious votes are screened out. City votes count towards the score, at a share we publish; the global wishlist votes are separate honours and don't change any city score.
Accreditation & accolades
Every rating follows the same four steps. Accolades are awarded on merit only; nothing on this page can be bought.
We research every studio in the city from its own public pages. Listing is free and automatic.
We give it a preliminary score out of 10, using the facts we've checked plus the public and industry votes, and place it in the city ranking.
The studio fills in our questionnaire and we confirm the details, ideally with a filmed visit. The score is marked Verified.
Rated studios earn the MatchaRated seal for the year; the city's Top 5 earn a dated rank banner. Certificates and plaques are optional keepsakes and never affect a score.
The second axis · People
The MatchaRated Instructor Rating is a separate score for each teacher, based on their checked qualifications. It rewards the people who make a studio great, and it travels with them.

Pilates instructor rankings · 2026
Accredited instructors (those holding recognised Pilates certifications) are ranked on four things: accreditations and training hours, years of experience, public social reach and engagement, and peer and public votes.

New · Pilates instructor verification
Pilates studios can check whether an instructor is properly qualified across every major certification body, including STOTT PILATES, Balanced Body, BASI, Polestar and more, in one place. Being fully qualified earns a solid baseline; higher ratings are earned through standing, reviews, extra training, media and accolades. We never call anyone unqualified: until a certificate is checked, a profile simply reads "Not yet verified".
One verified profile for all your certifications, recognised by every Pilates studio.
Check any applicant in seconds and show clients your team is verified.
Know your instructor is properly qualified before you book.
A neutral hub that values complete training and points people back to your courses.

Ratings policy
We hold ourselves to the same discipline as the world's leading independent rating agencies: scoring rules anyone can read, a strict wall between ratings and money, and a clear label on every score. Checked facts are the foundation; the public and industry votes add to the score at published shares and never replace the standard.
Everything we score, and how much it counts, is published. Anyone can see how a score was reached.
Ratings are independent and not influenced by commercial relationships. No one can pay to raise, remove or change a rating.
Every fact has a source and a date: public pages, the questionnaire and, where possible, a filmed visit.
Anything we sell (certificates, plaques, clearly labelled featured spots) is kept apart from scoring decisions.
Every score is marked Provisional or Verified, so you always know how far it has been checked.
Any studio can submit corrections at any time. We update from the facts and re-date the rating.
We have listed 4,800+ Pilates studios across 43 cities and scored 1,650+ so far, each from public information. Claim your studio to see your score, check your details and raise it, on the way to the seal and a Top-5 city rank. Listing is free and ratings can't be bought.
