Jude’s Sunday Reformer advanced class is quiet excellence at its best. Impeccably structured, positively challenging, and delivered with calm authority. You leave feeling stronger, more aligned, and quietly accomplished. Highly recommend!
Love this studio! I’ve very nearly clocked 100 classes here. There are lots of classes every day and the instructors are brilliant - I can’t say enough about Sally, Jude, Shaunagh, Lottie, Alex and Antonia - who are all amazing. I’m sure I’ve missed others who are equally ace. Can’t recommend it enough!
Took the offer of 3 taster classes to try reform out. I've done mat based pilates for years and wanted a new challenge. I'm really enjoying the classes with Lottie. She's a great teacher, very clear in her instructions and each class has been different. I'm joining up to carry on!
The Reformer Studio Loughborough 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 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: "She's a great teacher, very clear in her instructions and each class has been different." — Gemma Andrews.
Yes — the studio runs both pre-work classes (6am or earlier most days) and evening sessions running past 8pm, which together cover the standard 9-to-6 working day. Saturday and Sunday slots add weekend flexibility. For peak slots (07:00 and 18:00-19:30 are the busiest across most UK boutiques), most members book the week ahead.
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.
