Introducing
REFORMER
REFORMER CLASSES & COURSES
Reformer is a low-impact workout that will help you feel strong and achieve your goals. Not only does it help create toned, lean bodies, but it also addresses muscle imbalances, improves posture and balance, increases flexibility, and reduces tension for optimal body function.
Please see below for class levels.
CLASS LEVELS
FOUNDATION
If you are new to Reformer or looking to build confidence in the fundamental exercises within a supportive and structured environment, Reformer Foundations is the perfect introduction to Reformer classes. Your instructor will explain how the Reformer works and help you become familiar with how your body feels when using it.
These classes are taught at a steady pace, allowing you to develop safe and effective techniques. This ensures a smooth progression to Flow classes when you feel ready.
Foundations 13+ is designed for members aged 13 and over.
FLOW
This energising class blends traditional and contemporary exercises to target your entire body, with a focus on core strength. Moving at a slightly slower pace than our Dynamic class, it offers creative sequences that enhance muscle engagement and deepen your understanding of movement.
By the end of the session, you’ll feel stronger, lengthened, and more connected. Ideal for improvers, Flow classes are perfect for those who have completed Reformer Foundations and are ready to progress.
DYNAMIC
This high-energy class focuses on enhancing balance, flexibility, and core strength while sculpting lean muscles.
You’ll be guided through a full-body workout of strengthening exercises and innovative stretches, targeting weaker areas and elongating tight muscles. By the end of the session, you’ll feel energised and perfectly aligned.
This class is ideal for those at an intermediate level and beyond.
GETTING STARTED
If you’re new to Reformer classes, we recommend starting with Foundations before progressing to Flow and then advancing to Dynamic.
If you have an injury, please attend Foundations classes until your instructor advises you to progress to Flow. While we aim to support your practice, we are not physiotherapists and cannot diagnose or tailor classes specifically around injuries.
If you require 1-to-1 sessions to aid with recovery, please contact Caroline Taylor at CarolineT@colets.co.uk for more information.

I have been in the fitness industry for over 30 years, helped a wide range of clients and taught group exercise classes from Spinning to Body Pump, but as I have matured my focus has shifted from the sweaty HIIT type sessions to health & wellbeing.
My Pilates knowledge has helped me teach my clients the best technique for strength & resistance training, improve their posture, increase mobility and build a strong core - staying healthy & injury free for longer.
In 2022 I widened my Pilates knowledge with Reformer Pilates training. Using the Reformer on its own or alongside strength & cardio equipment has helped so many of my clients overcome injuries and achieve their goals.

I have many years of experience in the health & fitness industry and have enjoyed being a teacher in many disciplines for over 30 years.
After a career in high impact sport, I embarked on a more holistic low impact journey which began 20 years ago with me taking up Pilates instruction after studying at the Michael King Pilates Institute.
Throughout this time, I have been teaching from beginner to advanced level mat work, Reformer, Cadillac, chair and barrel also pre & post-natal, rehab (hip replacement, scoliosis, back & neck injuries) and sport specific with triathletes, golfers, squash, tennis players and runners.
I am highly skilled at leading mixed level 'inclusive' classes interlaced with a wealth of teachings around anatomy, biomechanics. I like working with people to supercharge their body, performance, and mental health.
I enjoy teaching 121 sessions alongside my small groups. I am enjoying widening my knowledge and I am studying Psychology and psychotherapy at the present and just finished my undergraduate study in Cancer Exercise Specialist.

I’m a mum of one, a wife, and a Pilates Instructor, and I know how busy life can be, but I believe it is important to take care of yourself. This is why I got into Pilates. I had a road accident in 2013, I was on a bike and was hit by a van, although there were no bones broken, my back hurt. Nothing the doctors did made it any better. Then, I was recommended Pilates by the hospital pain clinic, and that moment altered the course of my life. After a few years of self-practice I realised I wanted to take my Pilates to the next level. This led me to starting on the journey to become a certified Body Control Pilates instructor. As our beautiful bodies age, I realised that strength training is important so I went to learn Kettlebell. I love my practise on Pilates reformer and so it seemed obvious to me to train on this and am now a qualified reformer teacher delighted to share this beautiful piece of equipment with the world.
