What is Reformer Pilates and is it right for me?

Reformer Pilates is a full-body, low-impact workout performed on a spring-resistance machine called a Reformer. It builds strength, improves posture, and increases flexibility in a way that feels genuinely different to anything else. Whether you are completely new to movement or a seasoned exerciser looking for something that actually works, Reformer Pilates at MOVA Studios in York is designed to meet you where you are.

Not at all. MOVA Studios offers dedicated beginner Reformer Pilates classes in York, so you will never be thrown in at the deep end. Our instructors will walk you through everything, from how the Reformer works to how to get the most from every movement. If you are brand new, our 3-class intro pass is the perfect place to start

The MOVA intro pass gives new members 3 classes for £35 and is valid for 3 weeks from the date of your first booking. It is open to anyone who has not previously held a MOVA membership or class pass, and it covers any combination of Reformer, Mat Pilates, or Yoga classes. It is genuinely the easiest way to try the studio and find what you love.

Many people come to Reformer and Mat Pilates precisely because they are managing an injury, recovering from one, or looking for a form of movement that feels safe for their body. We always recommend checking with your GP or physio before starting something new if you are unsure. Our instructors are experienced at modifying movements and will always work with you, not around you.

 

There is on-street parking available on Boroughbridge Road, Lavender Grove, and the surrounding streets. You can also park at the doctor’s surgery next door before 8am and after 5pm. The studio is also accessible by public transport from York city centre.

What classes does MOVA Studios offer?

MOVA Studios offers Reformer Pilates, Mat Pilates, and Yoga classes across the week, including early morning, lunchtime, and evening slots. We also run a Run Club. Whether you are looking for a strong, spring-based Reformer session, a grounding mat class, or a full-length yoga practice, there is something in our timetable for you.

We offer flexible options to suit how often you want to move:

  • 3-class intro pass (new members only) — £35, valid 3 weeks

Wear comfortable, form-fitting activewear that you can move freely in. Grip socks are required for Reformer classes and are available to purchase at the studio if you forget yours. Bring a water bottle, and that is genuinely all you need.

Classes can be booked directly through the MOVA Studios website or app. Once you have set up your account, booking takes seconds. We recommend booking in advance as classes do fill up, particularly morning and evening slots.

Mat Pilates is performed on the floor using your own bodyweight and focuses on core strength, stability, and flexibility. Reformer Pilates uses a spring-resistance machine that adds both support and challenge to every movement, allowing for a greater range of exercises and more progressive loading. Both are brilliant, and many MOVA members do both each week.
