ABOUT US
Our studio is a boutique wellness space in Guelph designed to help you move, recover, and connect. We offer Reformer Pilates, Mat Pilates, yoga, and recovery experiences including sauna, cold plunge, and compression therapy, creating a balanced approach to strength, mobility, and recovery.
With small class sizes and thoughtfully programmed sessions, our instructors provide a supportive environment where every member can move with confidence, whether you are new to Pilates or deepening your practice.
Designed with clean, natural elements and light-filled spaces, our studio offers a calm setting to step away from daily stress and focus on your wellbeing.
OUR STORY
Our studio was created with a simple vision: to build a space where movement, recovery, and community come together.
The name ARQ (pronounced “ark”) reflects the values that shape our studio: structure, support, strength, and foundation. Just as a strong structure is built on a solid base, we believe movement should help build a stable foundation for long-term health and wellbeing.
At ARQ, we believe wellness is not only about exercise. It is about creating an environment where people can move with intention, recover properly, and feel supported in their journey.
Alongside our Pilates and yoga classes, we created a welcoming member lounge with complimentary tea and water, offering members a place to unwind, recharge, and connect after class. From mommy & me classes to restorative recovery experiences like sauna, cold plunge, and compression therapy, every element of the studio was designed to support people through different stages of life and wellness.
Our goal is to create a space that feels inclusive, calm, and welcoming, where people of all backgrounds and experience levels feel comfortable showing up for themselves.
Whether you come for movement, recovery, or connection, ARQ was built to help you develop strength, balance, and a strong foundation for lasting wellbeing.
