About LoM

LoM Studio (Length of Movement) is a Pilates, yoga, and Tai Chi studio in Rondebosch, Cape Town. Founder Franco Human built it around one idea: movement should be purposeful, controlled, and considered.

What LoM means

LoM stands for Length of Movement.

It’s a way of training as much as a name.

Intentional

Deliberate

Aware

At LoM, movement is a way to reconnect with your body, your breath, and yourself. It isn’t about getting everything right. It’s about moving with mindfully, one step at a time, and letting each movement flow into the next.

We build strength with control, and confidence through consistency.

The practice supports you, challenges you, and grows with you.

What matters is how you move, how you feel while you move, and the relationship you build with your body along the way.

Our approach

Try a single class, or a full week of classes, before you choose a package. Every class is open to all levels.

Strength

Dynamic and conditioning. Expect sustained effort, progressive sequences, and a full-body workout.

Length

Slower and more considered. The focus is alignment, mobility, and controlled extension, with time to recover.

Most members mix the two, so their practice holds both effort and recovery.

What a class feels like

Each class is designed to leave you stronger, more energised, and more connected in body and mind.

Calm from the door

The studio is calm and considered from the moment you walk in. It’s a place to step away from the outside world and tune into yourself, without pressure or distraction.

Guided and steady

You move through sequences that are guided, steady, and purposeful, building strength and endurance without feeling overwhelmed.

Room to breathe

There’s space to focus, to breathe, and to move in a way that feels right for you.

Our founder

Franco Human has taught group exercise for more than 25 years. He created LoM to share what Pilates taught him.

Franco built his career in group fitness, specialising in Zumba, from dance classes to Strong by Zumba and Zumba for kids. Some will remember him as “The Guy in the Green Shorts”, the regular fitness instructor on the Expresso Show on SABC 3. Qualifying in Pilates and Reformer Pilates changed his direction. He came to see how much flexibility, mobility, conditioning, and strength matter, in a training programme and in daily life, and how often they’re forgotten. [CLIENT: two or three sentences in Franco's own words: why he started LoM, when, and why Rondebosch.]

The Studio

LoM is a boutique studio on Campground Road in Rondebosch, in Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs.

Reformer classes are deliberately kept small, so your instructor can see and guide everyone in the room. Mats are available to rent or buy, grip socks are sold at the studio, and the studio provides all other equipment.
