I went to this Pilates studio consistently for the month of February while staying in London, and I still think about how incredible it was. It’s honestly one of the best studios I’ve ever been to. All of the staff are so attentive, encouraging, and genuinely care about your progress and your body. By the end of the month, I felt noticeably stronger, fitter, and able to do moves I never imagined I could. The progress I made in just a few weeks was unreal, and I really believe it came down to how much care and expertise they put into every class. Mariella was especially great — so supportive and really focused on helping me get the best out of each session. I miss this studio so much and haven’t been able to find anything that compares since leaving London. If you’re thinking about joining, please do it- you won't regret it!

I have been a mat and over the last 10 years (on and off!) a reformer girl. I booked the Tower Pilates class with an open mind but unsure how Pilates could be developed further. First session completed and ticked off but left not being ‘wowed’. What was it I thought that made me feel like that but was going to persevere. Second session, completed and had more of a feeling of connection with the process and left actually looking forward to my third session. Needless to say, I’m booking further packages and can’t wait to get fully involved and ready for the intermediate sessions due to start in 2025! Thank you Reformery.

I've been coming to The Reformery for over a year now, and I can honestly say that Pilates has changed my life. My back pain is gone, I feel stronger, more energised, and, most importantly I feel like I'm actively investing in my long-term health and resilience as I age. I've come to realise that Pilates will be a lifelong practice for me, and it's thanks to Rachel and her incredible team that I've even been inspired to start my teacher training. I truly can't recommend The Reformery highly enough. I'm so grateful I found it when I moved to the area. Thank you to all the amazing teachers for your knowledge, support, and inspiration!
Pilates types offered
What you can practice at The Reformery
The Reformery 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 The Reformery?
2 of 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: "All of the staff are so attentive, encouraging, and genuinely care about your progress and your body." — Rana.
Are there evening classes at The Reformery?
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 The Reformery?
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.
What classes does The Reformery offer?
The Reformery offers reformer pilates, mat pilates. Reformer classes use spring-resistance equipment for deep core and postural work — beginner-friendly and adaptable. Browse the studio's full schedule for current class times and instructor allocations.
