What sits behind the price
- The beds
- A studio-grade reformer is a significant purchase, and a studio needs one each rather than one in total.
- The cap on numbers
- This is the big one. However popular a class is, it can’t take more women than there are beds, so the cost can’t be spread more thinly.
- Space
- Each bed needs room around it for the carriage to travel and for us to move. Reformer studios take up far more floor per person than a hall.
- Training and upkeep
- Reformer teacher training is longer and more specialised than mat training, and the beds need servicing.

What you get for it
A small room means we can actually see you, correct you, and change your springs halfway through an exercise. In a class of thirty on mats, that isn’t possible however good the teacher is.
Whether it’s worth the difference depends on what you want. If you’re confident and happy getting on with it yourself, a mat class is excellent value. If you’d rather be taught, the smaller room is the thing you’re paying for.
What it costs here
A first class is £15. If you carry on, passes bring it down to £17 a class on a 12-class pass.
