Reformer Pilates
At Finesse Movement, our Reformer Pilates classes are designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and live more comfortably in your body. Pilates is a method of slow, controlled movements that focus on precision and alignment. It’s not about powering through exercises—it’s about tuning into your body in detail. This makes Pilates ideal for improving performance in everyday life, preventing injuries, and even enhancing performance in elite sports.
We offer four progressive levels to suit every ability and experience level:
Beginners
Our Beginners classes are the perfect starting point for everyone, regardless of fitness level or experience. Here, you’ll learn the fundamental movements of Reformer Pilates, focusing on technique and control to build a solid foundation.
Beginners Plus
Once you’ve gained confidence in the basics, Beginners Plus takes it up a notch. These classes introduce slightly more complex exercises to challenge your strength and coordination while reinforcing proper form.
Improvers
Ready for a greater challenge? Improvers classes are designed for those who have a solid understanding of the basics and want to build strength, mobility, and endurance with more dynamic sequences.
Improvers Plus
Our most advanced level, Improvers Plus, is perfect for experienced Pilates practitioners looking to refine their skills and push their limits. These classes incorporate challenging exercises that demand focus, strength, and control.
Start Where You Are
No matter your fitness level or experience, we require all clients to begin with our Beginners classes. This ensures you understand the principles of Pilates and can perform the exercises safely and effectively.

Pre Natal Pilates
Pregnancy is a time of joy and anticipation, but it can also bring physical challenges. Engaging in exercise during pregnancy is not only safe but highly beneficial for both mom and baby. Here are some specific benefits of Reformer Pilates for pregnant clients:
Improved Core Strength
As your body changes during pregnancy, maintaining core strength becomes vital for stability and support. Reformer Pilates focuses on strengthening the deep abdominal muscles, which helps to support your growing belly and reduce back pain.
Enhanced Posture
As your baby grows, your centre of gravity shifts, often leading to changes in posture. Reformer Pilates emphasizes proper alignment and posture, helping you maintain a strong and stable stance as your body changes.
Pelvic Floor Support
Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles is essential for preventing issues like incontinence and supporting the weight of your growing baby. Reformer Pilates includes exercises specifically designed to target the pelvic floor, promoting strength and stability in this area.
Low-Impact and Gentle
Pregnancy can make high-impact exercises uncomfortable or even risky. Reformer Pilates offers a low-impact workout that is gentle on your joints while still providing a challenging and effective workout.
Mind-Body Connection
Pregnancy can be a time of heightened emotions and stress. Reformer Pilates encourages mindfulness and body awareness, helping you connect with your changing body and find moments of peace and relaxation.
How It Works:
We run specific courses for our pregnancy Pilates.
Courses are 8 weeks long. The course must be pre-paid.
Up to 2 classes may be used in the next course provided more than 24 hours notice is given.
If you give birth and you have unused sessions, this may be used in the first post natal course that is available to you.
