A Fully Equipped Pilates Studio—The Only One in Zambia

At FabFlex, we’re proud to be the only fully equipped Pilates studio in Zambia. That means we have every single piece of traditional Pilates apparatus to support your movement:

The Reformer – The foundation of Pilates, offering controlled resistance to improve strength and mobility.
The Cadillac – A versatile system for deep core engagement, flexibility, and full-body conditioning.
The Wunda Chair – A compact but powerful piece of equipment designed to challenge strength and balance.
The Ladder Barrel & Spine Corrector – For improving spinal alignment, flexibility, and overall posture.
And more…

This means you’ll experience Pilates the way it was designed—versatile, dynamic, and tailored to your needs. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced practitioner, our comprehensive equipment allows us to challenge your body in new ways and help you reach your goals effectively.

What to Expect

FabFlex classes are structured and focused, with small groups and expert guidance to ensure real results.

Reformer Foundation: The starting point for anyone new to Pilates or the reformer machine. Expect slow, controlled movements designed to build core strength, improve alignment, and introduce breath control.
Reformer Power: A dynamic class focused on strength and endurance. The use of heavier springs and controlled resistance intensifies each movement, sculpting muscles while improving mobility.
Reformer Core: All about deep core activation. This isn’t just about six-pack muscles—it targets the stabilizing muscles that protect your spine and improve posture.
Barre Sculpt: A ballet-meets-Pilates hybrid focusing on the lower body. Using the barre for balance, this class combines small, intense movements with light resistance to sculpt lean, toned muscles.
Mat Fusion: A blend of traditional Pilates mat work and functional movement, using resistance bands, small props, and bodyweight control to build flexibility and strength.
Pilates Circuit: A multi-station class rotating between reformer, mat, and small equipment. Expect a full-body burn, controlled intensity, and constant movement without the high-impact strain.

A Supportive, Uplifting Community

FabFlex is more than just a fitness space—it’s a community. A place where women uplift each other, celebrate progress, and encourage strength inside and outside the studio. Whether you’re starting your Pilates journey or have years of experience, you’ll find an inclusive, welcoming environment where everyone moves at their own pace.
