Today, we were incredibly blessed to welcome Stacey Sharp - Regional - Align Pilates to our studio 🤍

Stacey kindly spent the morning taking our amazing studio family through a challenging yet incredibly rewarding session, and the smiles on everyone’s faces at the end told us everything we needed to know!

Next up was an instructor session, where Stacey used small equipment to educate us on improving pelvic stability and myofascial release, before answering questions and sharing her guidance and experience across so many areas.

But what made today truly special was bringing instructors from across the region, and even Dubai, together in one room. 🤍

Today, Pilates was definitely the winner.

Stacey Sharp - Regional - Align Pilates , thank you so much for your time, generosity, and for sharing just a glimpse of your experience and knowledge with us. We’ve taken away so much, and we can’t wait to do it all again! 🫶🏼

Why our reformer studio?

Because we’re here for Pilates. Not the matcha. Not the matching activewear. Not the “look at me” studio aesthetic.

Just really good Pilates, great instructors and a genuinely lovely bunch of people. 🤍

We keep our classes small. We keep our environment warm. And we keep our door open to everyone.

We’re a charity, which means what matters to us isn’t maximising profit, it’s making Pilates accessible. Because we know life is expensive.

Parking is expensive. Kids’ activities are expensive. Everything seems to cost more. So we’ve kept our prices low, parking free, and our bundles valid for six months.

Why?

Because we don’t think looking after yourself should be another financial stress. We know life doesn’t always fit neatly into a timetable. Plans change. Kids get sick. Work gets in the way. Life happens. So use your sessions when you can.

Is six-month validity the most business-savvy decision?

Probably not. But we’re not here to squeeze every penny out of you. We’re here for our studio family.

And yes, we love a collaboration. 🙌 But ours are free, inclusive and member-focused, because we want to collaborate in a way that actually adds value, not just another logo on the wall.

Our values are pretty simple:

🤍 Inclusivity
🤍 Affordability
🤍 Pilates

And after 3.5 years, we’re still doing exactly what we set out to do. Surrounded by some of the most experienced instructors in the region. Supported by the most incredible studio family. And completely committed to keeping Pilates welcoming, accessible and real.

So, what’s the catch?

There isn’t one.

No pressure.
No pretence.
No need to fit in.

Just come through the door, be unapologetically you, and move.

Our door is always open. 🤍

🤍 NEW: Private Pilates Sessions 🤍
Thinking about trying Pilates but feeling a little nervous about joining a group?

Maybe you’re completely new to Pilates, returning to exercise after some time away, or you simply feel more comfortable with a little extra space and individual attention.

Whatever your reason, you’re not alone.

We’re incredibly proud of the warm, supportive and welcoming environment we’ve created within our small-group sessions — but we also understand that group settings aren’t for everyone.

That’s why we’re so excited to be launching 1:1 and 2:1 private Pilates sessions at an affordable price. ✨

A space to move at your own pace, build confidence, learn the fundamentals and feel comfortable in your body — with sessions tailored specifically to you.

Because Pilates should feel accessible, supportive and enjoyable for everyone. 🤍

📩 Interested? Get in touch to register your interest.

We’d love to welcome you into our studio family.

🍂 Autumn is nearly upon us… so why not make movement part of your new-season routine?

At our Reformer Pilates studio, we believe movement should be something you look forward to, never something that makes you feel like you don’t belong.

With small classes, a friendly studio environment and structured sessions that progressively build, our classes are designed to cater for all abilities. Whether you’re completely new to Reformer Pilates or looking to develop your practice, you’ll never feel out of place.

Come as unapologetically you. Move at your own pace. Challenge yourself, build strength, improve mobility and, most importantly, invest in your own wellbeing. 🤍

And when you invest in yourself with us as part of Northern Edge Sports, you’re also helping us invest in the wellbeing of others.

This summer, we’ve had the privilege of working alongside SPARCS, a community whose primary focus is supporting the wellbeing of children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). It’s just one example of how movement, sport and wellbeing can reach far beyond the studio walls.

So, as the leaves begin to turn and a new season begins, why not make you part of your routine? 🍂

Small classes. Progressive movement. A welcoming community. A healthier you.

📍 The Pilates Bar
✨ Come exactly as you are.
