Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our studio is equipped with premium Align reformers, a leading UK brand renowned for exceptional craftsmanship, precision, and support. The equipment allows for intelligent, adaptable movement that meets a wide range of bodies and abilities.

    Studio at 1A was founded by Darcie, whose clinical training with APPI has given her an extensive understanding of the body, movement mechanics, and injury management. Her own discovery of Reformer Pilates became a turning point — creating a sense of strength, balance, and grounding for both physical and mental wellbeing.

    That experience shapes everything we offer.

    We believe Reformer Pilates should feel welcoming, considered, and accessible. Our studio is designed for people at all stages - not just those with prior experience - and our small class sizes allow us to truly get to know our clients, their bodies, and their individual goals.

    Studio at 1A is a calm, supportive space where everyone can discover the transformative power of Reformer Pilates, and move in a way that feels strong, safe, and personal.

  • You can book classes through the Momence app or via our website here. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@studioat1a.com

    We look forward to welcoming you soon.

  • We currently offer three class types: Fundamentals, Mixed Level, and Reformer x Strength.

    Fundamentals
    Ideal for beginners, those returning to Reformer Pilates, recovering from injury, or anyone wishing to reinforce the foundations of movement. These sessions focus on technique, control, and alignment, and are beneficial for everyone.

    Mixed Level
    Designed for those who are comfortable with the fundamentals and ready to progress. These classes build strength, coordination, and confidence while maintaining a considered pace and strong focus on form.

    Reformer x Strength

    Reformer x Strength combines everything you love about reformer Pilates with progressive strength training. Expect the same flowing, full-body reformer workout, enhanced with carefully integrated strength exercises and a choice of weights to suit your experience and ability.

    Strength training plays an essential role in supporting long-term health, helping to build muscle, increase bone density, boost metabolism, and make everyday movement feel stronger and more effortless. Layering progressive strength training onto the precision and control of reformer Pilates creates a truly well-rounded approach to movement, developing strength that's balanced, functional and built to support you both in and outside the studio. We know the gym isn't for everyone, so this class brings the benefits of strength and resistance training into the supportive, personalised environment of the studio you already know and love.

    Suitable for experienced reformer clients looking for an extra challenge. This class is not suitable for reformer beginners, those with injuries, or pregnant clients.

  • Each session is capped at a maximum of six clients.

    We intentionally keep classes small so every client receives the right level of care, support, and personalisation. Our instructors take time to get to know you, your body, and your individual goals, ensuring each session feels considered and supportive.

  • Whether you’re completely new to Reformer Pilates or returning after time away, you’ll be warmly welcomed.

    Our beginner sessions are paced with care, and our instructors take the time to understand your body and your goals.
