If you’re looking for a reformer class that is intimate, fun and pushes you in all the right ways then this is it. Lovely studio, lovely staff. Tash is fantastic! As a complete beginner the taster session was amazing to experience and off the back of that I booked 20 classes. Thank you so much!

Last Thursday I had my very first Reformer Pilates class with Lizzie. As a complete beginner, I was a little nervous, but Lizzie was absolutely fantastic. She explained everything so clearly, demonstrated each exercise and offered modifications that made the class effective for everyone. Her cues were spot-on, helping me understand how to engage the right muscles and get the most out of each movement. Lizzie created such a positive and encouraging atmosphere, and I left feeling stronger, more aware of my body, and genuinely excited for my next class. Highly recommend Lizzie for anyone new to Reformer Pilates – you're in great hands!

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.
