I’ve been using Built Studios for a year, not only has it transformed my body, but also how I think about it. Built provides excellent reformer and lift classes (I haven’t attended any Calisthenics sessions, but hear good things) the classes are small and expertly guided. The sessions are innovative, challenging, supportive and most of all fun. It is, however, the community feel of the classes, the mutual respect and support from fellow members that completes the package. For me it feels very much a safe space to grow and be myself. I’m very much a beginner lifting and feel very much supported with specific guidance, almost like having a PT, but without the price tag. Customer service is second to none and the teachers/coaches are brilliant, a shout out to Sam, Ashley and Emily on reformer and for the sheer variety in the offering, tempo and layering. Small class sizes give opportunity for real personal development. In the lift room a huge thanks to Laura and Delice for making me want to come back and get stronger although I’m pretty sure my face doesn’t show this level of of enthusiasm 😀 I highly recommend Built Studios to support you in your fitness and wellbeing goals.

Built Studios is amazing! Classes are small, so the teachers can really focus on you – they’re seriously best in class. It feels like PT session not a class! A lot of time is spent making sure you’re doing every move correctly, staying safe, but still being challenged. No matter your level, you’ll be looked after and pushed to grow in the best way possible. The team is fun and attentive, and the community is incredible – everyone supports each other, and you can see why so many people keep coming back. Whether it’s strength training or Reformer Pilates, this place is a gem!

What you can practice at Built Studios - Strength Training and Reformer Pilates
Built Studios - Strength Training and Reformer Pilates 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.
