Find your first class.

Three questions. One class, with the instructor, the times it runs and an honest description of what it will feel like. It takes about thirty seconds.

  • No email address, no sign-up, no account.
  • No score and no “pilates personality”.
  • Two answers will get you a person instead of a class. That is deliberate — see below.

Three questions. Choosing an answer to all three shows you one class. Nothing is submitted and no email address is asked for.

Question 1 of 3Have you done reformer pilates before?However you answer, nobody is told and nobody is watching.
Question 2 of 3Anything going on with your body right now?This is the question that changes the answer most. Be honest with it.
Question 3 of 3What do you want from it?There is no wrong answer and you can change your mind later.

Answer all three and your class appears below. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Foundations

with Nadia Kellner·50 minutes·12 people

The next three times it runs

  • Tuesday09:30
  • Thursday18:15
  • Saturday08:00
  • Sunday11:00

It runs 4 times a week — see the whole week.

Two people lying on reformers working through footwork in a bright studio, feet in the straps, springs loaded light.

Twelve people, twelve reformers. Nadia teaches the machine before she teaches the workout — where the straps go, what the springs do, how to get on and off without feeling like an idiot. You will not be behind. Everyone in Foundations is in their first six weeks, and most of them booked it feeling exactly the way you do now.

It runs 22 times a week — see the whole week.

Three people working through a coordinated sequence on reformers, arms overhead in the straps, in a studio with full-height windows.

The class most of the studio takes most of the week. Fifty minutes, continuous, cued rather than demonstrated, and it assumes you already know where the straps go. Priya teaches the version of it we would put a returning regular into on their first morning.

Tower & Chair

  • Friday12:15
  • Saturday12:00

It runs 6 times a week — see the whole week.

Two people working on a tower unit, one lying on the mat with legs in the springs, the other standing and reaching to the push-through bar.

Six people in the small studio, on the tower and the wunda chair rather than the reformer. Springs instead of momentum. It is the quietest hard thing we run — you will not be out of breath and you will absolutely know you did it the next day.

  • Friday17:00
  • Saturday10:00

It runs 6 times a week — see the whole week.

Three people mid-sequence on reformers in a bright studio, one lunging on the carriage with arms raised.

Cardio, lying down. A padded board goes on the end of the reformer and you jump against the springs for forty-five minutes while Elin plays something loud. It is the least reverent class in the building and the one regulars book first.

Rehab & Recovery

with Ruth Ferreira·55 minutes·6 people

The next three times it runs

  • Monday09:30
  • Tuesday11:45
  • Wednesday09:30
  • Thursday11:45
  • Friday10:35
  • Sunday12:00

It runs 6 times a week — see the whole week.

An instructor supporting a client's leg in the strap while he lies on a reformer in a t-shirt and shorts, in a bright room.

Six people, fifty-five minutes, slower than anything else on the timetable. Ruth spends the first ten minutes finding out what your back actually does before anyone touches a spring. It is not physiotherapy and we do not pretend it is — it is a class small enough that one person can watch how you move.

Talk to Nadia first

a conversation, not a class

with Nadia Kellner·one hour, one to one

Nadia standing behind a client in a bright studio, guiding her arm through a movement while she watches the shoulder.

We are not going to route you into a class from a web page. Pregnancy and the postnatal year change what is sensible week by week — which trimester, whether you had a section, how the pelvic floor is doing, whether you have been cleared — and none of that fits in three questions.

Book an hour with Nadia instead. One instructor, one of you, no class to keep up with. She will tell you honestly whether Prenatal & Postnatal is right for you now, whether it is too early, or whether you want a physiotherapist before you want us. Plenty of people leave that hour with a plan and no class booked, and that is a good outcome.

Talk to us first

a conversation, not a class

with Ruth Ferreira·one hour, one to one

Ruth crouched beside a client, both hands on his lower leg, watching how the knee tracks.

Coming back from an injury is the one thing three questions cannot route safely. What we would put you in depends entirely on which injury, how long ago, what your physio has said, and what already hurts — and we would rather find that out in the room than guess at it here.

Book an hour with Ruth. She will watch how you actually move, tell you which class on the timetable fits, and tell you plainly if the answer is that you should finish with your physiotherapist before you start with us. That happens, and we would rather say it than sell you a pack.

Why two answers refuse to name a class

If you tell us you are pregnant or postnatal, or that you are coming back from an injury, this page stops and points you at a conversation. It cannot be persuaded otherwise, whatever you answered to the other two questions.

That is because the honest answer to “is this safe for me” depends on things three radio buttons cannot capture — which trimester, which injury, how long ago, what your physiotherapist has already said. Sending somebody in that position into a jump-board class is the one genuinely harmful thing this page could do, so it is built so it cannot.

A private hour costs £68 and quite often ends with us telling you to see somebody else first.

Or just read about all six

The router is a shortcut, not a gate. Every class has its own page, and every one of those pages tells you who the class is not for.

  • Foundations

    The first six weeks. You learn the machine before you learn the workout.

  • Reformer Flow

    The everyday class. Continuous, cued rather than demonstrated, and it assumes you know the machine.

  • Tower & Chair

    Six people, springs instead of momentum. The quietest hard thing on the timetable.

  • Jump Board

    Cardio, lying down. A board on the end of the reformer, loud music, forty-five minutes.

  • Prenatal & Postnatal

    Six people, one instructor who knows the difference between twelve weeks and thirty-four. Booked after a conversation, not before.

  • Rehab & Recovery

    Six people, fifty-five minutes, slower than anything else we run. A movement class in a small room — not a clinic.
