THE APPARATUS

Discover the range of apparatus we work with in our studio and the different apparatus class types we have on offer

    REFORMER

    The Reformer is a key piece in a Pilates apparatus studio. Originally called the “Universal Reformer” the work you do on the Reformer is designed to work the body universally - challenging strength, mobility and control for the whole body.

    We have 4 Reformers in our Reformer studio. We run regular small group Reformer classes, as well as using the Reformer in many of our 1:1 sessions.

    TOWER

    The Tower is a strong metal frame to which we can attach springs, straps and bars. It is a wonderful piece of apparatus that leaves you feeling amazing…and worked!

    We have 4 Towers at our studios. We run regular small group Tower classes - a great introduction to the apparatus that will have you feeling strong and connected in no time!

  • Image of a Classical Pilates Wunda Chair with a wood frame and sage green upholstery

    WUNDA CHAIR

    Small yet mighty is the best way to describe the Wunda Chair. This surprisingly versatile apparatus will help you find strength and control like never before!

    Our Wunda Chairs are often used in our 1:1 sessions. We may sometimes use the chairs in a group Reformer class as a teaching tool to help you focus on a specific area or connection within your body.

  • CADILLAC

    The Cadillac is a fabulous piece of apparatus. Its stability and versitility lend it really well to our private 1:1 clients, whether you need plenty of support or a deeper challenge.

    We use our Cadillac often in our 1:1 sessions, as well as having it available for clients who may require it’s use as a modification in our Reformer classes.

  • THE BARRELS

    The barrels range from the impressive looking Ladder Barrel (pictured), to the smaller Spine Corrector and Baby Arc. The barrels help us support and mobilise the spine, as well as to stretch and strengthen throughout the body.

    We have several Spine correctors in our studio that we sometimes incorporate into a mat or Tower class as an extra treat. We also have our Ladder Barrel for 1:1s and our baby arcs.

  • OTHER APPARATUS

    In our studio we also have other apparatus such as the Baby Chair (pictured), Pedi-Pull and smaller items such as the Breathacizer and toe corrector. This gives us the versatility to work with clients on the apparatus that best suits their needs. We mostly use these apparatus in our private sessions, but also have the opportunity where needed in our Reformer classes when a client has a particular need that the apparatus will help them address or access.

GROUP REFORMER CLASSES

We run small group Reformer classes for upto 4 people in our Reformer studio.

You will work through the Classical Reformer exercises, appropriate for the level of class you are attended. New exercises will be introduced step by step to help you really understand the movement and how to get the best from it. Your teacher will guide and support you to work with your body, offering technical tips or subtle modifications that will help you master each exercise.

As these classes take place in our Apparatus Studio we may also bring in other apparatus from time to time, such as the Wunda Chairs or barrels, to help you find connections that will ultimately improve your Reformer work.

GROUP TOWER CLASSES

We run small group Tower classes for up to 4 people. The Tower is a brilliant introduction to the apparatus for those new to the apparatus work, as well as a fantastic piece to challenge more advanced clients on! You will leave a Tower class with your body feeling truly worked, and amazing!

Your teacher will guide you through a carefully designed class that will help you strengthen and mobilise your body in different ways. As the Tower work is done on the Classical mat we may also bring in some elements of mat work and barrel work from time to time to bring everything together and help you feel how each piece links together.

PRIVATE SESSIONS

Work with us on a 1:1 basis, benefiting from the use of the full studio system, including apparatus you might not necessarily use in a group class. In a private 1:1 session you may work across different pieces of apparatus according to your individual needs. Work at your own pace with dedicated 1:1 support from your teacher.

Private sessions are available on a regular or ad hoc basis.

Private 1:1 sessions may take place in either our Reformer or Tower studio and tend to involve a variety of apparatus.

OPEN STUDIO - SUPERVISED SELF PRACTICE

NEW for 2026, our Open Studio - Supervised Self Practice sessions give you the opportunity to work semi-independently in a manner more similar to the way you would have worked in Joseph Pilates’ studio.

Work around the apparatus studio, follow your own personal programme, with the benefit of a teacher on hand to provide guidance and support.

  • You will need to be relatively confident working on a semi-independent manner on the apparatus. 

    • If you already have 1:1s with us and would like to drop into Open Studio sessions on a regular or ad hoc basis let us know and we will prepare an Open Studio programme for you.  You can join Open Studio sessions at any time. 

    • If you usually attend group classes, we recommend getting a 1:1 in with us first so we can put a programme together for you.  Please get in touch to discuss availability and book in.

    • Open Studio sessions are bookable with a Group Apparatus Class Pass (the same as our Group Reformer and Group Tower classes).

  • Our Open Studio sessions have a maximum capacity of 4 people booked into a session, the same as our Reformer and Tower classes.  

    You will all be working on your own practice, so may each be using different apparatus at any one time.

    Our teachers love a bit of supervised self practice for ourselves so you may sometimes find yourselves in class with us too!

  • No.  You can turn up and leave whenever you need between the start and finish time of the session. It's your workout, you choose the duration

  • You will be given a suggested program to work on, following the order for your Reformer / Mat work and your recommended practice for system apparatus such as Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Baby Chair, PediPul and Ladder Barrel.     

    The Teacher for the session will be on hand to help guide you in the right direction.
