The method

The Resistance, explained

Slow Resistance Training on the Xformer: strength built the hard way, on purpose.

The machine

The Xformer is a spring-loaded strength machine that loads you on the push and on the return, so no inch of the rep is free. All the work goes into your muscles, not your joints.

Slow Resistance Training

Your muscles stay under tension every second of the movement. No momentum, no cheating: progressive loading, constant tension, and every rep counts.

High-Intensity. Low-Impact.

Full intensity for your muscles while your joints stay healthy. Train 1 to 3 classes a week and you feel the results within a month: that is exactly what your 2 unlimited weeks are for.

No mystery

Your first class, step by step

No guesswork. Here is exactly how it goes.

Book it

Checkout takes two minutes, then you book your first class right from your browser. Book your first week in one go to get the times that fit your schedule.

Arrive 10 minutes early

Your coach gives you a proper machine intro before class starts: springs, handles, positions. You will know your way around the Xformer before the first rep.

Train. We handle the rest.

We program, you progress. Your coach calls every setup, corrects your form and scales each exercise to your level, rep by rep.

What to bring: water and grip socks (available for purchase at the studio).

Before you book

Questions, answered

I'm a total beginner. Will I keep up?
Yes. Every exercise on the Xformer scales, over 200 of them, from first-timer to athlete. Your coach sets you up before class and adjusts your load rep by rep. It takes about 4 classes to get the hang of the method, and your 2 unlimited weeks give you all the time you need.
Is this Pilates?
It's not Pilates, it's Resistance. Same respect for control and alignment, a completely different intent: Slow Resistance Training on the Xformer is strength work, loaded and progressive, coached at high intensity for 50 minutes. Where traditional Pilates ends, Resistance begins.
When do my 2 weeks start?
At your first booked class, not at purchase. Your 14 days run from that first class, and it has to happen within 14 days of buying. One class per day, any studio.
When are classes?
Morning, lunchtime and evening, plus weekends, at all 3 studios. You see the full schedule right after checkout and pick the times that fit.
How do I book classes?
Right from your browser, as soon as checkout is done. If you prefer, the Resistance app is free on iOS and Android. Plans change? Cancel up to 6 hours before class starts to free your spot.
Which studio is my intro valid at?
All three. Griffintown, DIX30 in Brossard, and Place Ville Marie downtown. Mix them however your week demands: downtown at lunch, South Shore on Saturday.
I'm pregnant or managing an injury. Can I train?
The method is high-intensity and low-impact, but we ask for medical clearance before you start if you are pregnant or in recovery. Talk to your doctor, then email us at info@studioresistance.com: your coach will know what to adapt.
What happens after my 2 weeks?
The intro ends and the decision is yours: nothing renews without your say-so. Memberships and class packs are detailed just above. No pressure play here. The results make the argument.
