Pilates Studio WordPress Theme

A WordPress block theme for Pilates and reformer studios, laid out like a sports poster and a timetable, with guided setup, Book buttons that go to your booking app, a privacy-first question form and tested accessibility. No page builder, no required plugin.

Tilt is a WordPress theme for Pilates studios: reformer, mat, or both. It reads like a sports poster and a timetable, written for the person who has never been on a reformer. Your home page answers "Is this for me?", "What happens in my first class?" and "What does it cost?" before anyone has to ask.

Try it before you buy. Open the live demo and click through every page. The Customise tab on the right lets you try all five colour palettes (or mix your own), the three font pairings, the corners, and all 8 headers and 8 footers.

Set up in about ten minutes, no code. Tilt Setup opens when you activate the theme and asks you step by step, with your site shown live as a small poster page:

- Your studio name, logo, address, phone, front desk hours, booking app link, intro offer and cancelling rules, entered once. The lines that show them stay connected; the few table cells that hold a copy are listed for you.

- Your style: five colour palettes or your own colours (Setup checks every pair, so everyone can read your site), three font pairings, corners from square to round, and 8 headers and 8 footers, chosen separately.

- Your pages: Home, Classes, Schedule, Prices, First class, Instructors, Visit, Questions, Contact, Studio news and Website privacy, with the menu, made from Tilt's own designs.

- Optional free plugins: Contact Form 7 (installed and set up with the ready form), Yoast SEO and a security plugin. Tilt Setup installs the newest version that works on your server.

A real timetable, made of ordinary blocks. This week's classes as rows: big times, levels named in words, beginner classes marked "Good first class". Duplicate a row to add a class. Each Book button names its own day and time ("Book Tue 6:30 pm"), so every link makes sense to someone using a screen reader. On phones every class becomes a card. No timetable plugin, no script.

Your booking app stays. Every Book button goes to your booking app's schedule (for example Momence, Arketa, Walla or Mindbody). A ready Booking widget pattern takes your app's embed code if you want one. The theme never takes payments.

Beginner-first pages. "Is this for me?" on the home page, your first class minute by minute, the questions people don't like to ask, getting here and step-free access, and "What we won't do". The demo text makes no health claims and promises no results.

Prices in plain words. Passes set like timetable rows with your intro offer first, then single classes and the cancelling and late policy. Three passes side by side or a compact price list: one click in the editor.

A privacy-first question form. No health questions and no message box, on purpose: injuries and pregnancy are for the instructor, in person. The ready form asks for a name, the topic and how to reply. With the free Contact Form 7 plugin, messages go to your email and are not stored on your site.

One click, another look. The hero, this week's classes, the levels and the prices come in two or three looks made of the same blocks (9 in all), including a hero with words only for a studio without a good photo yet. Your words and prices stay when you switch.

Accessible, and tested. Built for WCAG 2.2 AA. Every page is tested in every colour style at phone, tablet and desktop width: no automated WCAG 2.2 AA violations, visible keyboard focus, readable contrast in hover and focus states, reduced motion respected, and no sideways scrolling at 320 px or 200% zoom.

Help when you need it. A PDF setup guide in your download, and online documentation with search, screenshots and short clips. Every step of Tilt Setup has a Help link to the right page.

Nothing loads from other companies. Fonts are bundled and served from your own site, and the map is a link, not an embed. No tracking, no external scripts, no page builder and no required plugin.

Demo photos are not included. The photos in the live demo and the preview images can't be resold inside a theme. Your download has simple placeholders in every photo spot, ready for photos of your own studio.

FAQ's

1. Do I need to know code? No. Tilt Setup asks for your details and your choices step by step, with a live preview. The timetable is ordinary blocks: duplicate a row to add a class.

2. Does it work with my booking app? Yes, with any booking app that gives you a link to your schedule (for example Momence, Arketa, Walla or Mindbody). Every Book button goes there, and a Booking widget pattern takes your app's embed code.

3. Does the theme take bookings or payments? No. Bookings and payments stay in your booking app; the theme links to it.

4. Are the photos from the demo included? No. They can't be resold inside a theme. Your download has simple placeholders in every photo spot, ready for photos of your own studio.

5. Do I need a page builder or a paid plugin? No. The recommended plugins are free and optional: Contact Form 7 for the question form, Yoast SEO and All-In-One Security.

6. Which WordPress version do I need? WordPress 7.0 or newer and PHP 7.4 or newer. Tilt was tested on WordPress 7.0.7 and 7.1.3.

7. WordPress says "The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet". What now? You uploaded the whole download. Unzip it first: inside is the theme, lavanta-tilt.zip. Upload that file in Appearance → Themes → Add Theme → Upload Theme.

8. Can I change the look later? Yes. Open Appearance → Tilt Setup again at any time, or change styles in Appearance → Editor.

9. Where do I get help? Search the online documentation (every step of Tilt Setup links to it), read the PDF guide in your download, or send us a message through Creative Market.
