From Pilates to Spinning in BF Homes: ESpace is the Ultimate Fitness Haven

If you’re a Southie who loves the adrenaline that comes with spinning, the challenges of a Pilates reformer class, or the focus that it takes to power through a barre class; you need to check out the newly opened ESpace Wellness Club in BF Homes. I took one class, and I am completely hooked.

What makes ESpace so special isn’t just the burn of a fantastic class. It’s the incredible story behind it. What began during the height of the pandemic as a humble passion project inside founders Mico Vallejo and Euriz Bagtas-Vallejo’s Fairview home with just a few pieces of Pilates and physiotherapy equipment has officially grown into a full-blown wellness movement across Metro Manila.

As a licensed physical therapist, Euriz wanted to bring professional movement, rehabilitation, and physical well-being into an accessible everyday setting. Today, that vision comes to life in a major way with their newest two-floor flagship in BF Homes, Parañaque, bringing Pilates, yoga, barre, spin, and recovery together all under one roof.

Stepping into the BF Homes branch, you instantly feel that this is more than just another boutique studio. It’s a complete ecosystem. Beyond dedicated studios for high-energy spinning and core-strengthening Pilates, the flagship features two standout recovery amenities: a cold plunge and a sauna. Getting to finish a sweaty session and move straight into deliberate recovery in the same building is an absolute game-changer.

“I’ve always believed that taking care of your body shouldn’t only happen when something is already wrong. Movement, recovery, and prevention can be part of everyday life,” Euriz shared.

That philosophy shines through every detail of the space. My barre class was the perfect balance of challenging, high-quality yet fun instruction, and a warm, welcoming vibe. I walked out feeling strong, aligned, and genuinely excited to come back, a real testament to how approachable ESpace makes top-tier fitness feel.

For Southies, having a multi-discipline hub like this right in the neighborhood means no longer having to trek across town just to get a balanced regimen of cardio, strength, and recovery.

And the growth isn’t stopping in Parañaque either. ESpace just marked another massive milestone on September 26 with the official opening of their branch in Pasay City, their 11th branch to date! This larger space carries all the core offerings like Pilates, spin, barre, and recovery, while adding a lovely in-house café where members can grab a drink and hang out after class.

“When we look back at where we started, it’s incredible to see how far ESpace has come. But the vision is still very similar to what we had in that home in Fairview: we want to create spaces where people can move better, feel better, and enjoy taking care of themselves,” said Mico.

From a few pieces of equipment in a Fairview living room to 11 thriving branches across the Metro, ESpace is proving that premium wellness doesn’t have to feel out of reach. Whether you’re dropping in for high-intensity spin, restorative Pilates, or a burn-inducing barre session; it’s safe to say ESpace has officially made everyday wellness feel like a real treat.
