I recently began attending sessions at B Reformer Pilates, and it truly feels like stepping into a luxury wellness retreat every time I walk through the door. Set against the backdrop of amazing views, the studio offers a peaceful escape from the everyday. The space itself has a grand, calming feel, equipped with immaculate reformers and every detail thoughtfully designed to enhance your experience. Each session has pushed me in the best way—challenging my core strength, balance, and flexibility more than any traditional workout ever has. Tilly, the instructor, is so so lovely. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and attentive, always offering clear guidance and gentle corrections to ensure you get the most out of every move. Thanks to her, I’ve already noticed improvements in my posture, flexibility, and overall body awareness after just a few classes. If you're looking to explore Reformer Pilates in Hampshire, I genuinely can’t recommend B Reformer Pilates highly enough. It’s a unique, transformative experience in a stunning setting xx

An amazing studio with instructors to match. Being new to reformer, I felt completely at ease in the calming environment and left feeling like I’d had a great workout. I’d highly recommend if you’re looking to give reformer a try… with the bonus of stunning views overlooking the adjacent fields, heaven!

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.
