Refine Pilates — Local services in London

I saw an intro offer Aug ‘23 for the studio opening in Sept ‘23. I had never done Reformer Pilates before. Not too long after, I joined the studio as a member and my life has greatly improved. I now can’t imagine my life without reformer Pilates. I feel absolutely amazing. What I like best about this studio is honestly how small it is. There are only 7 machines so you know the instructor will be paying attention to you, making sure to correct your form, breathing etc. I did my first class with Catherine and have been with her ever since. I believe ensuring you stick to one instructor as much as possible helps accelerate your Pilates journey as they really get to know you and your body, which I can safely say Catherine does.

I’ve done three Beginner classes so far through the intro office - Annabel explained the exercises really clearly and offered pointers throughout on how to improve form.

I’m really loving these Pilates classes especially Frankie’s ones. She is honestly amazing. Her classes are always a great challenge, she makes sure you’re doing everything correctly, she speaks clearly (which isn't always the case 😅), and really pays attention to everyone. She even remembers names and always keeps the vibes super positive with encouragement and compliments to everyone. Totally recommend this Pilates studio and in particular her classes. The only negative aspect of this studio is the lack of showers and changing rooms which is not a biggie to me since my office...
