What Our Clients Say

  • "I've been coming to The Reformery for over a year now, and I can honestly say that Pilates has changed my life. My back pain is gone, I feel stronger, more energised, and, most importantly I feel like I'm actively investing in my long-term health and resilience as I age. "

    Aisling

  • I’ve been attending this studio for a few months now, and all the instructors are fantastic. I’ve tried two other studios in the past, but often left feeling rushed or even injured.

    S.R

  • "The Reformery has a warm community heart with owner Rachel steering the ship. She’s helped me build confidence in my own practice and self-esteem since meeting her. There’s a diverse choice of teachers & a full schedule. Shout out to Irena who has an incredible amount of anatomy knowledge and is gifted in rehab. "

    S. T.

  • "I have been attending classes at the Reformery for over 20 months and it’s made such a difference to my mobility. I love the wide variety of classes which makes the experience interesting and the tutors are very attentive and really look after you. My knees and hip movement have greatly improved. Fully recommend."

    Shirley B

  • "The Reformery is a brilliant studio. Lots of classes every day to suit whatever mood you’re in and such a great cohort of teachers. There’s a mix of reformer and mat Pilates, the barre classes are extra tough though totally worth the burn - it’s toned the muscles I didn’t even realise I had."

    Zara Peters

  • "The beginners class was a slow enough pace so I could to keep up yet provide a challenge. The studio itself is really well kept, clean and easy to find. I like the option to pay for individual classes and the timetable offers a lot of flexibility. Highly recommended."
