My first time going to Pilates and can i just say i want to go everyday now!!! The instructor Emily was so welcoming and explained everything so thoroughly. The class itself was the perfect level of challenging and i feel it more in pilates than when i work out with weights :D this studio is amazing and I will definitely be returning. Plus they have a cute selection of grippy socks :)) THANK YOU EMILY ❤️❤️❤️
I was nervous walking into my first reformer Pilates class but needn’t of worried! The ladies working there were wonderfully welcoming and immediately put me at ease. The session was great, patiently explaining each movement and the set up. I booked for a second session as soon as I left!
A much-needed addition to the Jewellery Quarter! I have done a couple of classes with Ellie, the lead instructor, and have definitely felt the burn. She is a fabulous trainer - I particularly enjoyed the focus on breathwork. The studio is gorgeous and there is plenty of parking available outside.
The Reformer Studio offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Reformer pilates is performed on a specialised piece of equipment using adjustable spring resistance. It targets deeper stabilising muscles than mat-based pilates and is widely used for posture correction, core strength, injury rehabilitation and pre/postnatal training.
Mat pilates uses your bodyweight on a padded mat, often with small props like resistance bands, blocks and pilates balls. It's the most accessible form of pilates — no heavy equipment, lower price points, and easier to continue at home.

Honest, specific answers about this studio.
2 of 3 recent reviews describe the studio atmosphere positively — recurring descriptors include "welcoming", "calming" and "no judgement". This kind of language pattern, particularly across multiple reviewers, tends to indicate a settled member community rather than a high-turnover commercial environment. If you're new to pilates and concerned about feeling out of place at your first class, this is the indicator most worth weighting. One recent member put it this way: "The instructor Emily was so welcoming and explained everything so thoroughly." — Sarah Benmaach.
Yes — the studio runs both pre-work classes (6am or earlier most days) and evening sessions running past 8pm, which together cover the standard 9-to-6 working day. Saturday and Sunday slots add weekend flexibility. For peak slots (07:00 and 18:00-19:30 are the busiest across most UK boutiques), most members book the week ahead.
Most UK boutique reformers start newcomers with a beginner-tagged class or a 1-1 intro session rather than dropping them into a mixed-level group. Arrive 10-15 minutes early; you'll be shown carriage adjustment, spring tension and basic safety. Wear grip socks (mandatory at most studios — they sell pairs for £8-15 if you don't have them) and form-fitting clothing that lets the instructor see your alignment. The first class is the steepest learning curve — by your third session, the equipment feels much more intuitive.
