Reformer pilates merges the tradition and principles of regular pilates using a reformer machine. Reformers add resistance by using our own body weight as well as different tensioned springs and straps to add additional weight and coordination challenges.

Think all of the things you love about mat pilates with a little more oomph.

Mat pilates will typically use your body weight as resistance (or some props like magic circles or pilates balls). The reformer machine offers increased resistance with springs and straps/pulleys (and sometimes weights). This information is written for the Studio 70 website.

It also has an unstable sliding base, which can mean the classes are more challenging or can offer increased complexity in movement. One is not better than the other, but you might find you prefer one more the other.

We open our studio no more than 15 minutes before class begins. We recommend coming along 10 minutes early if you’ve never been before to make sure you have enough time to find us, park, walk in etc.

Please note, we lock our doors on time when we begin class. This ensures students belongings are secure, that we have adequate time for a warm up and that we don’t compromise the beginning and finish times (and potential subsequent roll on affect) of our schedule. We do not admit anyone after class starts for these reasons. We also understand that life can happen and do try to balance small business life with compassion.

Please contact us at info@studio70glasgow.com if you have any questions or need any support.

All students must practice with grip socks for safety and hygiene. This is a non negotiable.

Please bring your own grip socks or you can purchase socks in the app or when you arrive for class for £15 per pair.

Please bring anything else you’d like with you in class. Water bottle or towel. We recommend exercising in any clothing you feel comfortable moving in.

All our reformer classes are mixed abilities and all bodies.

If you are wanting to start more slowly we recommend our 5 week beginners course or our slow reformer classes.

At this stage reformer classes are available by drop in or 10 class pass. We will be launching our Inverness offering soon to the Studio 70 mailing list.

All class cancellations require 12 hours notice. Any cancellations made within this period will forfeit their class.

We recommend managing bookings via the Momence app for ease. Bookings cancelled after 12 hours will credit back to your account to use for another class.

For any enquiries please email us at info@studio70glasgow.com

If a class is full we still recommend booking onto the waitlist. If a space opens up you’ll automatically be added to the class up to 2 hours before the class begins.

We recommend managing your waitlisted classes according to our cancellation policy above. Just cancel out with more than 12 hours if your plans change.
