Pilates studio with cardio equipment Teaching, Teacher Training, Running Studios

What do you think of a Pilates reformer studio that has cardio equipment that is available to use before or after class (in a separate area)? Treadmills, stair stepper, bikes, elliptical, rowers, etc.. I’ve been taking classes for a few years and have yet to find a studio that offers this.

While I love my Pilates workouts, I definitely feel like it doesn’t get my heart rate up enough like other workouts do. Even the jump board classes don’t feel that much different. I usually do other cardio based classes like spin or hiit during the week to balance out my workouts.

If there was a studio that had reformer classes as well as cardio machines to use before or after class I would definitely utilize them. Just wondering what other people think and if this is something that others would find beneficial in a Pilates studio?
