Reviews of Reform
I love Reform! I’ve tried many different studios and visited various classes in Edinburgh and Reform is probably the best studio for Pilates. It’s a bit pricey but it’s worth every penny. The classes are small and the instructors are professional, paying personal attention to everyone in the group and correcting if necessary which is very important to avoid potential injuries and to work on your body effectively. Only after a couple of weeks of exercising there I could already feel the difference!
This is a proper Pilates studio with guided classes on Reformer equipment. This is not mat Pilates.
The prices are a bit dear, even with a slightly discounted package (I book on the MindBody app), but in my opinion it's worth it if you can afford it.
Classes are on the smaller side (I think no more than 10 iirc) and the instructors are all well trained and happy to come around with modifications or adjustments, give clear instructions and demonstrate as needed. Instructors are very good at making adjustments if you're recovering from an injury (make sure your doctor clears you!) or have medical issues to contend with.
The workout is fairly intense (even the Apprentice classes) and often uses multiple muscle groups at once. It's excellent for developing core strength especially and balance. I've been practising yoga several times a week for years now and still find Reform classes challenging.
You'll likely be quite sore the next day, but after a couple of weeks the benefits begin to show and be felt.
I like that even if you take several of the same type of class in the same month or even week, it's never really the same class twice. You'll rotate between different types of exercises and movements, with varying intensity, making sure that different muscles are worked out.
Beautiful, light-filled and airy clean space with high quality and well maintained equipment.
My only gripe is I wish they had proper showers, none are available and the toilet is in the hallway and shared with the other businesses in the building. So not the best place to work out if you need to rush off somewhere after and need to be clean.
Apart from that, love it!
Excellent studio. Teachers are attentive and the classes are challenging, with variations offered depending on your strength. Classes are done to music and the 55 minutes fly by.
This is a great studio. Very clean, centrally located and nicely decorated. Had never tried Pilates before and now I am hooked. Lucy is a fantastic instructor. You will push your body but she gives really good individual feedback on poses and moves in a very encouraging way. Was sore afterwards and can’t wait for the next session.
Lovely studio with plush reformer machines and a much more intense workout than I expected - the instructor was knowledgeable and motivational, she kept us moving quickly through a variety of challenging exercises that worked the muscles and got the heart rate up. I took a Dynamic Reformer class and enjoyed the variety of using additional equipment and the challenge of the class.
Highly, highly recommend Reform. I was only visiting Edinburgh but squeezed in two Reform classes. The class space was beautiful and perfectly clean, the instructors were clearly very experienced and friendly not to mention I got a great workout.
