I took Regina’s class at Pilates@BN1 for the first time yesterday, and I was genuinely impressed. She’s professional, clear in her instructions, patient, and has a great sense of humor – which made the entire session light, fun, and enjoyable. Her voice is soothing, she’s beautiful, and always wears a warm smile that puts you at ease right away. Don’t let her friendly smile fool you though – she’ll absolutely make sure you work hard! Every muscle was shaking (in a good way), and I loved it. Having done Reformer Pilates for quite a while now, I’ve experienced a wide range of instructors, and Regina is definitely one of the best I’ve come across. What’s even more amazing is that she’s only just started her teaching journey – with time, she’s only going to get better. Highly recommended!

Pilates types offered
What you can practice at Pilates@BN1
Pilates@BN1 offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Reformer Pilates
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
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do members say about the instructors at Pilates@BN1?
one of the 3 recent reviews mention the instructors in positive terms — words such as "knowledgeable", "attentive" and "encouraging" recur most frequently. Members citing specific cues, form corrections or named instructors is a strong sign of relationship-led teaching rather than transactional class delivery. If instructor depth matters for your decision (particularly for clinical or prenatal-focused pilates), this is a useful positive signal. One recent member put it this way: "I have only done a few classes with Bengu but from what I've experienced she is a fantastic instructor who will make sure that your technique is on point, and push you gently." — Rhys Player.
Are there evening classes at Pilates@BN1?
Yes — at least one weekday class runs until 20:00 or later, which suits members training after a standard working day. Evening peaks at most UK pilates studios run from 18:00 to 19:30, with later 20:00-21:00 slots usually quieter and easier to book on the day.
What should I expect from my first reformer class at Pilates@BN1?
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.
