What is reformer Pilates?

Pilates, with resistance that adapts to you

The reformer is a sliding carriage connected to adjustable springs. You push and pull against them to build strength, control and flexibility. Your instructor sets the resistance to suit you.

Reformer FAQs

Good questions

Can't find what you need? Call us on 01352 379022 or send us a message.

Do I need any Pilates experience?

Not at all. Classes suit complete beginners, and your instructor guides you through every movement and sets the springs for you.

How is it different from gym training?

Reformer Pilates uses spring resistance and controlled movement to build strength, stability and flexibility together. It's low impact, focuses on your core and form, and works really well alongside gym training.

When will I see results?

Most people feel a difference after their first class. With 2–3 sessions a week, you'll typically see visible changes in around 4–6 weeks.

Is it suitable if I have an injury or back pain?

Reformer Pilates is low impact and often recommended for rehab, and light spring settings are ideal for recovery. If you have a serious injury, check with your GP or physio first, and always tell your instructor before class.

How often should I do reformer Pilates?

For the best results we recommend 2–3 sessions a week.

Is reformer Pilates just for women?

Definitely not. Reformer Pilates is for everyone, and it's popular with men and athletes who want better core strength, mobility and injury resilience.

What should I wear and bring?

Fitted, comfortable activewear and grip socks (you can buy them at the studio). Bring a water bottle and arrive 5 minutes early.

How do I buy and book?

Members can buy sessions in the Fervid app. Non-members buy online. Then book your class from the Classes calendar in the app.

What do non-member sessions include?

Each non-member session includes club access and use of the gym facilities on the day of your class. You'll need the Fervid app to book and to get through the gate. Single sessions must be used within a week, and 5- and 10-session packs within a month.
