I have decided to give Reformer Pilates a go, as I have heard really good things about it. I’m so glad I have joined this studio in Farnham because the instructors are amazing and the studio is really well kept! I signed up for more lessons because I can already see the difference it has made on my body and strength!
Having done weights training for over 20 years, I wanted to try something new. I was recommended Reformer Pilates and came across The Pilates Movement in Farnham. The studio is amazing and the staff are so friendly. From my first PT session with Tess, I felt welcomed and supported with my transition into Pilates. It’s now been 12 weeks and I am completely hooked! I attend three classes a week and the instructors are supportive and create an amazing environment where you are comfortable and supported to stretch yourself (or not) each session. I cannot recommend The Pilates Movement enough!
I absolutely love the Pilates movement classes. I went away on a long holiday and took some time out of coming but genuinely missed it so much that I have now returned. The classes have made me feel stronger, and the instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and friendly. It’s such a welcoming environment, and I’m so glad to be back. Highly recommend to anyone looking to build strength.
THE PILATES MOVEMENT - FARNHAM 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.
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: "The classes have made me feel stronger, and the instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and friendly." — Alexia Warner.
Yes — the studio runs Saturday classes. Weekend mornings (08:00-10:30) are typically the busiest slots at UK pilates studios; if you prefer a quieter session, the early afternoon often has more availability.
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.
