Our Classes

An Introduction to Reformer

Perfect for first-timers

New to Reformer Pilates? This class is designed especially for you.

Our Introduction to Reformer sessions are slower-paced and supportive, giving you time to understand the equipment, key movements, and foundational Pilates principles. You’ll be guided through the basics of alignment, breathing and control so you can move with confidence - without feeling rushed or out of your depth. You are encouraged to ask as many questions as you’d like too - there’s no judgement here!

This is the ideal starting point for your first class, before attending our Foundation classes.

Oxfordshire Reformer Pilates Studio

Foundation Reformer

Our Foundation classes are for those who have had some previous Reformer Pilates experience, but may be returning after a break, or wanting to solidify the basics.

Expect a structured, steady class that focuses on technique, control and building strength from the inside out. You’ll work through fundamental exercises at a manageable pace, with clear cueing and options to support your body as it learns and adapts.

A brilliant way to build confidence, improve posture and create a strong Pilates foundation.

Beginner level

Our Progressive Reformer class is designed for those clients who are more experienced, feel confident using the equipment and are ready for a more challenging, dynamic workout.

Expect a faster-paced flow featuring more complex and challenging exercises, stronger spring choices and creative sequences designed to build strength, stamina, coordination and control. You’ll explore further progressions and transitions, while continuing to focus on precise, intentional movement.

You should be comfortable selecting your own springs, and have a good understanding of the fundamental Reformer exercises before joining this class. If you’re not sure whether you’re ready for this class, please ask your Instructor when you’re next in the Studio and they’ll be happy to advise you.

Intermediate level

Progressive Reformer

Our All Levels classes are based around a structured Foundation Reformer class, making them accessible and enjoyable for a wide range of experience levels for those who already have a basic understanding of the Reformer and its fundamental movements.

You’ll be guided through controlled full-body sequences focusing on technique, strength, mobility and alignment. Throughout the class, your instructor may offer alternative spring choices or additional layers for those who would like to challenge themselves a little more, but there is never any pressure to take them.

Whether you’re building confidence or developing your existing practice, you can choose the options that feel right for your body.

Foundation-based and adaptable

All Levels Reformer

Our Tower & Reformer classes combine the moving carriage of the Reformer with the springs, bars and straps of the Tower, offering even more variety within your Pilates practice.

Expect a thoughtfully structured, full-body workout designed to develop strength, mobility, control and body awareness. The Tower allows us to explore familiar exercises in a different way, while introducing new movements and targeted strength work.

A varied and rewarding class for anyone ready to expand their Reformer practice.

The best of both worlds

Tower & Reformer

Low-impact cardio meets Reformer Pilates.

Jump & Reformer brings a little energy to your Pilates practice, combining dynamic work on the jumpboard with controlled, strength-building Reformer exercises.

Lying on the carriage, you’ll “jump” horizontally against spring resistance, creating a fun cardio workout without the impact associated with traditional jumping. Expect flowing sequences that raise your heart rate while challenging your legs, glutes, core, coordination and endurance.

Upbeat, energising and guaranteed to leave you feeling accomplished!

Dynamic and energising

Jump & Reformer

Senior Strength Reformer

Designed specifically for active older adults, this welcoming Reformer Pilates class focuses on improving strength, balance, mobility and posture to help you move with confidence and stay active for longer.

Classes are taught at a comfortable pace with plenty of individual guidance, making them ideal for those who are new to Reformer Pilates, returning to exercise, or simply looking for a class tailored to their stage of life.

You’ll strengthen your core, improve flexibility and coordination, and build the confidence to move more easily in everyday life. Small class sizes ensure personalised support in a friendly and encouraging environment.

Move well and stay strong

This is mat Pilates - reimagined.

Using the reformer mat converter rather than floor mats, these classes bring the precision and support of the Reformer into a mat-based workout.

Expect controlled, strength-focused sequences that work deeply through the core, hips and postural muscles, whilst remaining kind to the body.

A beautiful compliment to Reformer classes, and a great option if you love mat work with added refinement.
