London Bermondsey 3 People Beautiful Studio

I finally gave Reformer Pilates a go, and I have to admit… I went in thinking it might just be “stretching on an expensive bed.” I was spectacularly wrong. The class was fantastic from start to finish. The studio itself is bright, spotless and has excellent reformer machines, so it immediately feels like a great place to train. The real standout, though, was Frida. She is an exceptional teacher. They genuinely don’t make instructors like her anymore. Her coaching style is incredibly clear, direct and motivating. She pushes you to work hard, but somehow manages to do it in a way that always feels supportive, encouraging and genuinely caring. You find yourself wanting to give that little bit extra—not because you have to, but because her passion is infectious. What impressed me most was how personal the class felt. There were around 10 of us, yet Frida learned everyone’s names and seemed to have eyes everywhere. She was constantly giving individual feedback and encouragement, making it feel much more like a personal training session than a group class. I walked out feeling stronger, taller and with a healthy respect for muscles I clearly hadn’t been using enough. Whether you’re completely new to Reformer Pilates or you’ve been doing it for years, I’d wholeheartedly recommend this studio—and if you get the chance to take one of Frida’s classes, don’t hesitate. She’s outstanding.
