Pilates in Ballygunge: every option, mapped
If you live or work around Ballygunge, every serious Pilates option in the city is within about fifteen minutes of you. Here is what is actually here, what each place is for, and exactly where we are.
The short answer
- Ballygunge is the centre of Kolkata's Pilates map: Renovo Pilates and Blissful Monkey Studio are in the neighbourhood itself, with Pulse Pilates, Pilates The CORE Studio and Reflex & Reform a short drive away around Gariahat.
- They are not interchangeable. Renovo is the only studio in the area that teaches exclusively one-to-one private reformer sessions; the others run group classes, which cost less per class.
- Renovo is at 17 Ballygunge Park Road, Back Building, Ground Floor, Kolkata, West Bengal 700019 — off Ballygunge Park Road, a few minutes from the Gariahat crossing. Monday – Saturday, 7am – 12 noon and 3pm – 8pm, sunday closed.
- If you want a group class, a Sunday slot or the lowest price per class, one of the other studios will serve you better — the comparison page names which.
The Pilates options in and around Ballygunge
Kolkata's Pilates studios cluster in the south of the city, and Ballygunge sits in the middle of the cluster. Walking or a short drive covers all of them, so the real question is not distance — it is format.
In Ballygunge itself
- Renovo Pilates — Ballygunge Park Road. Private one-to-one reformer sessions only; no group classes, no mat classes. This page is ours, so weigh that as you read it.
- Blissful Monkey Studio — yoga and Pilates group classes in the neighbourhood, well reviewed.
A short drive away
- Pulse Pilates (Gariahat) — group reformer classes with the widest hours in the area, seven days a week per its Google listing.
- Pilates The CORE Studio (near Gariahat) — group equipment classes.
- Reflex & Reform Pilates — group reformer classes; as of mid-August 2026 it had the largest Google review count of the studios here.
Ratings, prices where published and hours for all of these are kept side by side on the comparison page, including the places where competitors beat us.
Where Renovo is, exactly
17 Ballygunge Park Road, Back Building, Ground Floor, Kolkata, West Bengal 700019.
- From the Gariahat crossing: a few minutes along Ballygunge Park Road.
- From Ballygunge Phari or Quest Mall: a short walk or five minutes by cab.
- From Golpark, Southern Avenue or the Lakes: ten to fifteen minutes door to door.

Hours are Monday – Saturday, 7am – 12 noon and 3pm – 8pm; sunday closed. The studio is a ground-floor space in the back building — call +91 92307 92308 if you cannot find it and someone will come out.
What a session here is
One instructor, one client, one reformer, for the full hour. Sessions are programmed to the person: strength and mobility work for most people, and more careful programming when there is an injury, a postnatal return or a diagnosis in the picture. There is no class to keep up with and nobody else in the room.
That format is the whole studio. It is why people training around something — a back, a shoulder, a pregnancy — choose it, and it is also why it costs more than a group class: a single session is ₹1,700, and the cost guide sets out the packages and the arithmetic honestly.
Who should go where
- You want attention on a specific problem — an injury, surgery recovery, postnatal work, or group classes have not worked for you: one-to-one is what we do, and it is worth the difference.
- You want the lowest price per class and some company: a group class at one of the studios above is the better product for you, and we would rather say so than sell you the wrong thing.
- You need Sundays or mid-afternoons: we are closed then; Pulse's schedule is wider.
- You are comparing on rating alone: read review counts too — a perfect score on ten reviews is weaker evidence than 4.7 on forty. The comparison page shows both numbers for every studio.
