I began my reform Pilates classes with the lovely Gosia last year in Glossop. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond their control Kate and her team relocated to Marple. Undeterred by this move I loved the classes so much I followed them over to the new studio in Marple. With Kate, Gosia and their new instructors, who are all brilliant at what they do,I have continued with my reformer Pilates journey having been to over 73 classes. I joined on an annual membership as being retired I can choose daytime sessions. My strength, my core and my whole body has improved with the sometimes challenging workouts. However you are always advised to work at your own pace and have the individual support of the team to make sure you are doing the moves correctly and safely. Thanks to all Jane P

Pilates types offered
What you can practice at Mood Reformer
Mood Reformer 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 Mood Reformer?
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: "I have been taught how to do reformer Pilates by patient and knowledgeable instructors in a structured manner, starting with introductory classes and working through the levels to reformer." — Sue Rothwell.
Are there evening classes at Mood Reformer?
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 Mood Reformer?
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 Mood Reformer offer?
Mood Reformer 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.
