🙋🏽‍♀️ If we haven’t met.. Hi! I am Bianca Ljungberg...

The Founder of The Studio Côte d’Azur on the French Riviera, a Pilates strategist and thought-leader 🇫🇷

I thought I’d introduce myself ahead of our 2026 summer season.

If you’re going to become a client with … I’ll get to know you, your preferences and goals this summer. And I’ll ensure we take incredible care of you and your loved ones on your holiday 🏖️

So it’s important you get to know me, my values and my incredible business which serves clients from Monaco to Saint-Tropez.

I don’t have hundreds of clients. And I can’t stand group reformer classes.😅

Instead, I have a few very high profile clients who we work with closely to deliver a premium Pilates service over the season including:
☀️ Pilates teaching at yachts & villas
☀️ Reformer rentals
☀️ Reformer sales

I still can’t believe it but this will be our 12th year teaching Pilates on the French Riviera!

When one looks at Instagram today, you’d think I’m just like everyone else… hopping on the global Pilates trend 📈

But that’s not the case.

I opened the FIRST Pilates studio in the old town Antibes after working as yacht crew for 3-years. Since then, I’ve personally taught more than 10,000+ hours and over 1,300 elite clientele on yachts, at villas and in my Antibes studio.

Today — I am based in Sweden with my husband and our beautiful children. I run my business remotely alongside my amazing administrative and teaching team 🌍

Our focus is not on delivering Pilates that looks good; but Pilates that FEELS good for the mind, the body and the soul 💖

My team this season is made up of 15 incredible experts in the field of Pilates, yoga and massage — some who’ve travelled to the Riviera just to work with me and my high profile clients 😊

Our interview process this year was 4-5 months long, where I made 100% sure that my clients get the quality of teaching and service they deserve!

If you’re thinking about having Pilates at home or onboard this season, away from the madness of the French Riviera in peak summer… send me a message on Instagram 🙏🏾

I look forward to meeting you!
Warmly, Bianca xox

🙅🏽‍♀️🛥️ I’ve taught Pilates on enough yachts to start to ask the question…

🧐🤨 Who on earth buys the Pilates reformers onboard??

I’ve seen it all on yachts:
👉🏽 Mismatched accessories
👉🏽 Reformers with parts that are missing
👉🏽 Cheap reformers that break

Here’s my list of reformers yachts absolutely shouldn’t buy if they’re hoping to offer a premium Pilates experience for guests 🌟

❌ 1️⃣ The Align Pilates F3 Foldable Reformer

Generally, I don’t recommend Align as a reformer brand (their ladder barrels are OK but their reformers are tinny and poor quality… even the more expensive ones). This model came out at a time when yachts started to introduce Pilates reformers onboard more seriously, and many yachts bought them (or followed advice to buy them).

Just this week I had a Pilates instructor onboard a 70m+ say to me: “The Align F3 Foldable reformer feels like being on a plastic toy and our guests have asked for something with more quality.”

2️⃣ ❌ The Balanced Body Metro IQ Reformer —

I’m a huge fan of Balanced Body apparatus (and in fact, we can easily supply any Balanced Body apparatus to yachts in France 🇫🇷 ). BUT… the Metro IQ is poorly designed, even for a home reformer, and it doesn’t belong on a superyacht.

Boats make the mistake of buying this reformer because they think it will be easy to stow (and it’s cheap). Balanced Body is also a trusted brand in the Pilates world which makes yachts more likely to give the Metro IQ a try as a first reformer purchase.

But in reality, the foot bar is a pain to change (I spent 10-mins or more trying to change it on a yacht in Italy a few years back). The reformer also sits on the floor which isn’t great for older guests or the teacher teaching onboard.

3️⃣ ❌ The Merrithew SPX Max Reformer

Merrithew is really popular in the Middle East and they’re generally easy to order online.

The SPX Max Reformer is not only uncomfortable to teach on… it’s really uncomfortable to be on!

So much goes in behind the scenes…

I’m sure any business owner will agree 💖

But this year, I feel more prepared than ever. We’ve systemised and cleaned up so much in the last year… and I’ve taken some big and BOLD decisions that are already paying off.

I really can’t thank my team enough for their support, dedication and heart with which they show up for me and my bigger vision 💖 Their trust in me and what I do means the world to me 🙏🏾

To think… two years ago clients were still emailing me to deal with their accounts and reservations. I was the only point of contact for our teachers and limited in the amount of support I could provide. I was working alone in all aspects of the business from marketing to accounts, and I had limited VA support.

Today, I’m almost totally out of the day-to-day operations. 🙏🏾

I am free to work directly with the clients, the bigger picture and the aspects of the business that are really driving us forward. 💖

What a journey it’s been to get here!

All my love,
Bianca xox
