Never been on a Reformer before?
You're exactly where you need to be.
- You don't need to be strong.
- You don't need to be flexible.
- You don't need to know the exercises.
Everyone before you has been where you are, at the beginning. You'll be so welcome and supported as you get started on your Reformer Pilates journey.
Small groups. Big attention.
Just five people.
Classes are intentionally small, with a maximum of five people. This means Helen can see how you move, help you refine your technique and give you the right level of challenge.
Small classes create a friendly, supportive community too. You'll get to know the people you train alongside, encourage each other, share the experience and celebrate progress together.

Mobility
Explore greater freedom, range and ease in the way you move.
Find your way to move.
Reformer
