Meet Our Founders

Sarah, The Springs Pilates Studio founder and instructor

Sarah

Hi, I'm Sarah, co-founder of The Springs and a Polestar-trained reformer instructor. I've loved teaching Reformer Pilates from day one. After trying many types of exercise, I've found nothing I enjoy more. Reformer Pilates challenges your body, delivers amazing results, and brings a unique sense of calm and peace. Movement truly is medicine, and I'm lucky to share my passion for Reformer Pilates with an incredible community. Running my dream studio with my best friend, Sam, is a dream come true.

Sam

Hi, I’m Sam, co-founder of The Springs Studio. 15 years ago I discovered Reformer Pilates & instantly loved it. It seemed the natural step for me as Id already been working in the fitness industry for 8 years, so I completed my dynamic reformer training and dived in head first! 11 years later, now having completed more training with STOTT Pilates for Reformer, Chair & Cadillac I am living an actual dream. Sarah and I jumped at the chance to open our own Reformer Studio. Working with my sister, who is also my best friend, is a dream come true! We’ve built a community where we share our passion for Pilates in a safe and inclusive environment, with people that we now call friends.

Meet the Team

Hi, I’m Rach. I’m a Level 3 Personal Trainer with Level 4 qualifications in Back Care and Pre and Post Natal training.

My classes are designed to be fun and target the whole body, with different levels to suit everyone in the room. I look forward to meeting you all on Wednesday evenings!

FAQs

Find answers to common questions about Reformer Pilates, our studio, and class bookings.

You can book by downloading our The Springs Studios App or access through our Classes page. We offer pay-as-you-go classes, 2 reformer membership options and beginner courses.

If you have never used a reformer before, we recommend you contact us before booking, so we can discuss the best way for you to start your reformer journey.

Your safety is our priority and we need to determine your individual requirements first, so we can best prepare you for using the reformer.

We may suggest booking a 1-1 session with us first, to get you comfortable, confident and safe on the Reformer.

Deciding on the right time to resume or start exercise after having a baby is very dependent on the individual, your birth and your body.

So we would need to talk to you to establish the best way of easing you back into exercise and when is the right time to start.

The NHS website states:

If you had a straightforward birth, you can start gentle exercise as soon as you feel up to it. This could include walking, gentle stretches, pelvic floor and tummy exercises.

It’s usually a good idea to wait until after your 6-week postnatal check before starting high-impact exercise, such as aerobics or running.

We recommend getting your GP/ midwife or health visitor’s go-ahead before you exercise post having a baby, especially if you had a surgical birth.

There is a private GP on-site at Bodyworx and an experienced physio team. We can discuss your options for a physio-led 1-1 session on the Reformer to ensure you’re exercising safely.

When it comes to injury recovery and rehabilitation your safety is our primary concern.

We’re lucky to be located within the Bodyworx Health clinic where they have an on-site doctor and physio, where you can have a private referral.

You can also book a physio-led 1:1 reformer session. We will then make a judgement based on assessing you as to whether you are ready to participate in our group dynamic classes.

You will need to bring a drink to keep hydrated and a towel.

We also recommend you bring sticky socks with you. If you don’t have sticky socks, you can purchase them at the studio.

We’d like you to feel as comfortable as possible so comfortable activewear is advisable.

You don’t need to wear crop tops or anything skin-tight if it makes you feel uncomfortable, but please don’t wear clothes that are too baggy as we need to see your body alignment to ensure you are executing the moves safely and correctly.

Sticky socks are a must because they will stop you from slipping on the reformer. If you don’t have any you can purchase them from The Springs studio.

Yes please. Sticky socks are a must because they will stop you slipping on the reformer. If you don’t have any you can purchase them from The Springs studio
