What do members say?
Joined the Reformer Pilates Power class this week and I’m honestly obsessed! The instructor was amazing explaining every movement so clearly and helping me perfect my form. I could really feel my core working throughout, and it was such a good mix of challenge and control. My body already feels stronger and more aligned after just one session. Can’t wait to book my next one!
