If you would prefer to start with Mat, Barre, or Yoga, these classes are open to newcomers and no prior experience is needed. Our introductory offer is three Reformer or Tower classes for £48, or three Mat, Barre, or Yoga classes for £30.

In many cases, yes. The Reformer is low-impact and highly adaptable, and our instructors are experienced in modifying exercises for clients managing injuries or returning to exercise after time away. Tell us about your injury before you book and we will advise on the best starting point.
If you’re unsure whether Pilates is appropriate for your condition, check with your GP or physiotherapist first.
