Award-winning Dynamic Reformer Pilates in the heart of Guildford. Small group classes, expert instructors, and home to our Reformer Pilates Teacher Training Academy.
Welcome to Our
The Pilates Movement Guildford is our award-winning studio – voted Surrey’s Best Pilates Studio – and home to some of the most experienced Reformer Pilates instructors in the county.
Located at 41 Church Road, Guildford, Surrey (GU1 4NQ), the studio is tucked away down a quiet alleyway just off the main road — a calm, focused space equipped with top-of-the-range Reformer equipment and designed to help you get the very best from every session.
We specialise exclusively in Dynamic Reformer Pilates, a results based exercise discipline that utilises the Pilates methodology and the Reformer’s spring resistance system to build strength, flexibility, stamina and improve posture through flowing, controlled movements. Each class follows our signature mobilise-strengthen-stretch framework, delivered by expert instructors in small groups so every member receives individual attention.
Our Guildford studio is also home to The Pilates Movement Academy — our highly acclaimed Reformer Pilates Teacher Training programme. If you’ve ever dreamed of becoming a qualified instructor, this is where it starts. The Academy reflects the depth of teaching expertise within our team, the same expertise that shapes every class you take also driven by our highly qualified studio owner.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner looking for a studio that truly understands Reformer Pilates, you’ll feel the difference from your first session.
At our award-winning Guildford studio, we run three core Reformer Pilates classes — each built on our signature mobilise-strengthen-stretch framework with a different tempo and intensity. Our Academy-trained instructors deliver every session.
