Our Story
Become your own Muse
At Muse Pilates, we believe your greatest inspiration should not come from someone else.
Not from celebrities. Not from role models. Not from comparison.
It comes from becoming the strongest, focused, most confident version of yourself.
Our philosophy is simple: Become Your Own Muse.
Through movement, discipline, wellness and confidence, we help you build a strong body and mindset that support the life and the version of you that you want to create.
Because Muse Pilates is not just about how you look. It is about how you move through life.
The Founder
Muse Pilates was born from a personal obsession of founder Mariella Klaassen van Oorschot.
After discovering boutique Pilates studios in Los Angeles, Mariella became fascinated by the way movement could transform not only the body, but also confidence, energy and self-image.
What started as a passion quickly became a vision:
To bring a this new kind of Pilates experience to Amsterdam.
One that combines world-class equipment, luxurious atmosphere and an inspiring philosophy centred around personal growth.
Muse Pilates is not only a work-out, it is a community for people who want to move holistically, live with confidence and work on becoming the best version of themselves.
Caformer Pilates
Meet the Caformer: a revolutionary machine that combines the Reformer and Cadillac into one powerful system, unlocking hundreds of exercises and endless ways to move.
The Caformer tones your body and builds strength, mobility, balance, flexibility and control while activating deep stabilising muscles.
Already a favourite in Los Angeles, New York and London, the Caformer is redefining what Pilates can be. Muse Pilates is bringing this next-generation workout to Amsterdam.
With just 8 machines, every class feels personal. More guidance, more attention, more results.
An extraordinary 50-minute workout designed to make you become stronger, more confident and more connected to yourself.
Muse Mentality
We believe you are your own greatest inspiration. Muse Pilates is more than a Pilates studio.
We are a space for growth, confidence and transformation. A place where movement becomes a tool to build strength, discipline and self-belief. Where wellness is not about perfection, but about becoming the best version of yourself.
