I started going to Reformer classes with Kylie and Ellen about a year ago, and it's the first time i have stuck with a class for more than a few months, this is a big deal for someone who has always disliked exercise! The instructors are so friendly, and they're always there to help guide/correct you, the classes fly by and every class is different! I have 100% become stronger and more flexible. Sadly I have just moved away, and I will miss these classes a lot!

I went to my first reformer Pilates class today with a friend of mine. Our instructor was Lita, she was so lovely and patient with me. It took me a couple mins to get used to the reformer machine but I got the hang of it and ended up being a really good session! Thank you

I attended my first class here yesterday and it was brilliant! Lovely friendly studio in the heart of Stokey. The teacher was very clear, informative and welcoming and the class was challenging but had lots of modifications should you need them. I will definitely be going back - 100% recommend!

The owner has not been helpful and kind at all when I popped into to get information about prices, classes and how many people could participate during the lesson. I caught him on a bad day but it doesn't excuse him! I wanted to make sure the place was safe to me and it was following the Government rules in terms of Covid-19. He was probably having a pretty bad day or he was feeling ashamed of the crowded room with people.So I turned around and I left. I wouldn't recommend at all. After that I have read some reviews and I got it.

Personally the videos are perfect if you are suffering from.chronic fatigue or/and injuries as they are slow and there is a lot of choice for beginners. Great if you are looking to get back into exercising or looking for something low impact and to improve your mobility. It's nice to have short videos off 15-30 mins as well especially if you have low energy or are busy. Really works your abs and whole body. Great to tone up as well. I would definitely recomend them. The videos are something you can do daily.

Great studio on the high street with small class sizes - maximum 7 per class. Very good value for money - reformer will never be 'cheap' but worth it for the personalised tuition.

Have an excellent schedule so you can choose a time that suits you everyday of the week. I am addicted to it now and go almost every day. It has improved my strength and fitness. I was fairly flexible anyway so has not made that much difference to that. The trainers are all very good and get to know individuals that come regularly so the can adapt… exercises to suit everyone's needs. The Stoke Newington studio my not look all that cool, but there is everything you need, the reformer machines are top notch and because it is max 7 people to a class, it is very friendly. I love you Flowing
