Pilates & movement · Ancoats

Strength you notice in the rest of your week.

Twelve reformers, small classes, and teachers who correct your form instead of counting reps at you. Beginners are genuinely welcome — most of the room started that way.

First class £12 · No membership required to try

  • Twelve to a class

    Small enough that a teacher can reach every reformer twice in an hour, which is the point of paying for a class at all.

  • Progress you can see

    Your first session is an assessment. We write down where you started so that six weeks later it is not a matter of opinion.

  • Injury-aware teaching

    Two of our teachers came through physiotherapy. Tell us about the shoulder and the class works around it.

Classes

Four ways in

Every class is mixed-ability unless it says otherwise. If you are not sure where to begin, begin with Foundations.

Foundations

The whole reformer, slowly, with the reasoning explained. Six weeks and you will never need this class again.

50 minBeginnerReformer

Reformer Flow

Continuous, musical, and hard on the legs. Our busiest class and the one people book a week ahead.

50 minAll levelsReformer

Mat & Strength

No machine. Bodyweight, bands and light dumbbells, built around the same principles as the reformer work.

Slow Yoga

Long holds and breath work, Sunday evenings. The counterweight to everything else on this timetable.

A railway arch

Common questions

I have never used a reformer. Where do I start?

Foundations. It is built for exactly this and nobody in the room will have been doing it long. Six weeks in, you will be booking Reformer Flow without thinking about it.

What if I have an injury?

Tell us when you book and again when you arrive. Two of our teachers have clinical backgrounds and every exercise has a version that works around a joint. We will not ask you to push through pain.

Do I need to bring anything?

Grip socks, which we also sell at reception for £8, and water. Everything else is here, including towels.

What happens if I cannot make a class?

Cancel free up to 12 hours before and the class returns to your pack. Inside 12 hours it is used, because someone on the waitlist could have taken it.

Come and try one

First class is £12, any class on the timetable, no membership needed and no follow-up sales call.
