1Rebel Holborn — Local services in London

Facilities are very nice and well manteined/clean. I went there with classpass and I tried reformer pilates. I was a bit disappointed for the lack of information provided before the booking. Initial time for Induction, socks requirment, the lack of adaptation during the class. There is only one level. So you are able to perform the exercise only if you know already how to use a reformer pilates or you have a great fitness level, if not there aren't option to perform an exercise in an easier way. This is the first time I was in a class so discriminating(I was invited to leave the class since as for the trainer if I couldn't do the first exercise I wouldn't be able to do nothing else coming after, so had had no options and I left the class that was ok since I am using free classpass promo for January and I am very happy/welcomed in frame studios so I am OK with my self esteem ) on personal fitness level, not giving options, time to get comfortable with the equipment(although I do beginner reformer pilates in frame) . I probably had to look more into the concept of this studio because they are great in what they do, just this isn't a gym for everyone but for someone already fit and knowing...

I have attended reformer classes at 1Rebel, Holborn during recent work trips to London & absolutely love it here! Clean gym with spacious, well equipped changing rooms.

Love that you can pre-select your reformer upon booking & the super friendly vibe!

The instructors who have led my classes were great reformer coaches. They led intense, but inclusive classes with positive instructor feedback provided at the end of each class.

Looking forward to visiting again soon and perhaps trying ReShape.

A couple of queries/downsides:

-the reformers are very close to each other so it can feel rather cramped, especially when boxes are used on either side of the reformer

-are the reformers/equipment cleaned between classes? I found it surprising that attendees are not asked to clean the equipment following use

-I used the ‘refer a friend’ function. Neither of us received the associated perks linked with this.

-it would be great if additional 1Rebel classes were also provided at this location. Would love to try the Ride...

I really enjoy Reformer as it’s an intense full body, strength building, low cardio exercise like no other! Holborn is the only location I visit and often go up to 4 times a week.

Matt on Reception is brilliant and learnt my name from the beginning: always smiley, friendly and welcoming. He acknowledges all guests rather than just ignore. Ruby’s customer service is excellent, and the standards you would expect for the high monthly fee: she is very understanding, flexible, accommodating and super helpful! Also can’t forget to give Violet a special mention too for making me feel welcome and comfortable from the moment I visited a year ago.

They recently did a little refurb with a new look but the quality of finish is not as good as expected…however, I go there for the Reformer classes which really is an excellent class with really fantastic instructors. I mainly train with LJ, Paris, Cami, Dana and Melissa who all have a different style, but have you leaving with that satisfying gym-ache, allowing you live and...
