Exclusive, elite, and 100% intense.

Ten Pilates

Reformer pilates is my favourite fitness find this year, and Ten Pilates, my new second home. Working out on a reformer did at first seem daunting, but after just one class I soon saw what all the fun was about. With beautiful studios based all over London (and a newly refurbished branch – St James, located just behind Fortnum & Mason) reformer pilates is one of the most effective ways to get a full-body workout. Longer, leaner limbs await. It’s no wonder the Victoria’s Secret girls across the pond swear by the reformer, we’re looking at you Alessandra Ambrosio.
