Amazing first experience at Restart Reformer Pilates! Spacious studio with high ceilings and 10 top-level reformer “supermodel” machines. Intense yet fun workout – felt like swimming 1500m! Love the heart-rate tracker for real-time calories. The owner is super inspiring and motivating, her encouragement makes all the difference. Highly recommend for anyone looking to tone and burn fat!
Tried the new Restart studio in Farringdon and absolutely loved it! They offer Megaformer classes, which are much harder than regular Reformer Pilates — full body workout, super intense but fun. The instructor was very motivating, and I liked that they provide heart rate monitors so you can track calories and effort in real time. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a challenging class in London!
Great Pilates studio! Very clean and neat, the instructor is experienced and professional, machines are new and very up to date as well
Restart Reformer Pilates London 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 cleanliness or studio condition in positive terms — "spotless", "immaculate" and "well-maintained" being recurring descriptors. For pilates, where equipment hygiene and floor-space cleanliness directly affect class experience (and matter especially for shared reformer apparatus), this is a meaningful operational signal beyond surface appearance. One recent member put it this way: "Very clean and neat, the instructor is experienced and professional, machines are new and very up to date as well" — K H.
Yes — at least one weekday class starts at 06:30 or earlier. This makes the studio a practical option for members who want pilates before commuting to work. Pre-7am slots typically fill the fastest at UK boutiques; consider booking 3-7 days ahead if your routine depends on a specific time.
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.
