I had an excellent first class with Ashley at Harpenden. I had never done reformer Pilates before and he took time to demonstrate the equipment, and although it was a full class he checked on me throughout to ensure I was ok. Thoroughly recommend

I go to the Bushey studio. Chilli Pilates does what it says it will and gives you 'Pilates with a kick' The reformer beds are fun and easy to use and you can push yourself or take it easy, there is no pressure or competition here like you can get in the Gym, which is why I love it so much. All the instructors and the people that work there make me feel so welcome and there is always that personal touch. I have now had 10 sessions and my body feels amazing I feel so strong. For me it is a whole mind, body and spirit workout! I'm addicted!!
I have been attending since before Covid and would highly recommend Chilli pilates. They were helpful during zoom classes whilst in lockdown and now back to normal they continue to offer excellent sessions. Each member of staff is knowledgable in what they are doing. They are always helpful and give suggestions if you struggle with a particular exercise. I have recently been attending Sports massage 1-1 with Keone. This have been incredibly helpful with my back spasms.
Chilli Pilates - Harpenden 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.
