The Absolute Group Cements Its Pilates Expertise with “The Pilates World – Beyond the Reformer,” the Ultimate Destination for Practitioners of All Levels
Thailand’s premier fitness and wellness authority, The Absolute Group, celebrated over 16 years of Pilates mastery with the recent wrap-up of “The Pilates World – Beyond the Reformer.” Held from October 10–11, 2026, at the G Floor Forum of Gaysorn Amarin, the event invited Pilates enthusiasts and movement lovers to step outside the traditional Reformer box. The weekend seamlessly blended movement, recovery, wellness, and lifestyle into one holistic space.
The event highlighted Absolute’s long-standing role as a Pilates pioneer in Thailand. Backed by a team of highly experienced instructors, Absolute showcased its comprehensive Pilates offerings—ranging from the Reformer, Wunda Chair, V2Max, and Cadillac to GYROTONIC®—designed to support practitioners of all levels while enhancing strength, mobility, stability, balance, and body control.
“For over two decades, Absolute has been at the forefront of the Pilates movement in Thailand,” said Ms. Benjaporn Karoonkornsakul, Founder & Chief Executive Officer The Absolute Group. “We believe Pilates is far more than just the Reformer; it is a discipline that deepens our understanding of the body and its mechanics. We created this event to broaden the Pilates horizon, bringing together our knowledge, experience, and diverse training methods so everyone can experiment, learn, and discover Pilates in new dimensions. Great movement shouldn’t end when the class is over—it should elevate our everyday lives. By bridging movement with recovery, we want to empower people to better care for their bodies. This event is a true destination for everyone, from beginners just starting out to advanced practitioners looking to deepen their practice.”
A Pilates World Beyond the Reformer
Attendees got hands-on experience with a wide variety of equipment and training styles, exploring everything from the Reformer, Wunda Chair, V2Max, and Cadillac to the fluid movements of GYROTONIC®. A major highlight was the exclusive Wunda Chair Workshop led by Master Ole—known as the “Master of Master Instructors”—featuring his signature CHAIR 360 and CHAIR POWER classes. Dynamic group sessions led by Absolute’s seasoned instructors also gave participants a chance to learn the science of Pilates directly from the experts.
Bridging Movement, Recovery, and Daily Life
Going beyond just breaking a sweat, the event emphasized recovery and overall well-being. To help attendees understand that body care extends past the studio doors, Dr. Natnicha Songthangtham, US-Certified Physical Therapist and Doctor of Physical Therapy offered personalized Posture Analysis focusing on alignment and movement mechanics. Visitors also unwound with a “Breaking the Stress Cycle & Sound Healing” session by Ubonwan (Lynn) Khorthavornwong, Co-founder and Master of House of MRP, which applied mindfulness to stress management. Interactive wellness workshops—including DIY Pilates grip socks, essential oil blending, and bath salt crafting—rounded out the holistic self-care experience.
A Hub for Pilates and Wellness Lovers
“The Pilates World” successfully brought together a vibrant community of brands and partners across the Pilates, wellness, beauty, and lifestyle spaces. Collaborations with popular names like Toesox, Clarins, BIBI, Autumn Scoop, Bobbi Brown, Erb, W Diary, and Wild Avenue added extra flair to the weekend. This gathering perfectly reflected Absolute’s vision of building a strong, interconnected Pilates community that bridges practitioners, instructors, and wellness brands.
