With more than 25 years of Pilates and movement expertise, Pam Hammond Studios brings a considered, highly personal approach to movement to a new boutique studio in Franschhoek.
For Pam Hammond, Pilates is far more than exercise. It is an intelligent way of moving that develops strength, control, mobility and body awareness — with benefits that extend well beyond the studio.
The opening of her new studio in February 2026 marks the fourth studio Pam has established in Franschhoek over the past 18 years. Her career spans the fitness industry locally and internationally, from owning studios in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng to working in Dubai, as well as roles as a personal trainer, movement choreographer and national presenter. She holds a BSc Honours degree in Psychology, a Postgraduate degree in Life Coaching and extensive Pilates training through Conscious Movement Cape Town, STOTT and BASI Pilates, alongside Barre training in California.
Pam’s connection with Franschhoek is both personal and professional. Having fallen for the town’s sophisticated, distinctive character, she saw an opportunity to create a premium, intimate studio where quality instruction and individual attention take centre stage.
Today, Pam Hammond Studios offers private Pilates, small-group Reformer and Mat Pilates, alongside Barre, Strength & Sculpt and Restore & Release.
At the heart of Pam’s teaching is a belief in committing to the process. Clients are encouraged to challenge themselves, build confidence and discover what their bodies are capable of, whether the goal is greater strength and mobility, improved posture and performance, or simply moving more comfortably through everyday life.
For Pam, the real magic happens when studio learning translates into everyday movement — helping clients move better, feel stronger and become more aware of their bodies.
