For the first time, the major Pilates festival “Form Fest” will take place in Dubai in February 2026, bringing together the world of Pilates, healthy living, and professional education in one landmark event. This festival marks Dubai’s first large-scale Pilates gathering, uniting instructors, athletes, and Pilates enthusiasts under one roof.
Form Fest is a two-day event founded by Freya Ramp, a well-known Dubai-based Pilates instructor, with the goal of going beyond everyday workouts and creating an educational platform led by world-class experts to elevate Pilates knowledge across the region.
The festival features a lineup of pioneering instructors with innovative movement approaches, including Hilal Leigh, a specialist in the contemporary “State” method and intelligent movement sequencing; Ava Rodriguez, widely known as the “Joint Whisperer” for her focus on mobility and joint performance; Heba Abdeljawad, creator of the scientific “Neuropilates” method that integrates brain and body function; and Agi Falenta, an international educator specializing in functional and rehabilitative Pilates.
Form Fest will be hosted at the creative Mama Shelter Dubai, offering reformer-based Pilates sessions, group mat workouts, technique-driven workshops focused on movement correction, and panel discussions connecting professional instructors with studio owners.
The event will take place on February 7–8, 2026, in Dubai’s business district. Daily passes start from AED 1,650, with tickets available via Platinumlist. Ticket holders will receive access to three training sessions, workshops, refreshments, a curated goodie bag, and valuable professional networking opportunities
