Studio Resistance is not your traditional Pilates studio, and it’s not your traditional gym. We are Montreal’s exclusive home for the XFormer™ machine combined with slow resistance strength training—a destination for those ready to trade the "standard" workout for a high-intensity, low impact method that actually delivers.

We Program, You Progress: Forget the guesswork. Each session is meticulously designed by our experts to hit the threshold of effective change every single time. We handle the thinking so you can focus on the work—all you have to do is show up.

The Power of the XFormer™: As Montreal’s exclusive XFormer™ destination, we utilize time-under-tension and progressive muscle loading. It’s high-intensity for your muscles, but low-impact for your joints all enabled by our Xformer machines.

A Practice with No Ceiling: With 200+ exercises, you don’t outgrow this workout—you grow into it. Because the resistance is adjustable and technique-driven, the better you get, the deeper the challenge becomes.

Expert Vibe, Zero Ego: Our highly trained instructors provide the blueprint and the encouragement, while our curated, energizing playlists keep the intensity high.
