Discover reformer pilates class at Absolute Studios Kensal Rise

• Lolly Williams ★★★★★

  OMG I cannot rant & rave about how much I love Absolute studios!!! I am not a “gym girlie” but my heart has created space for reformer Pilates, particularly KR branch. It’s been the best decision recommendation from my physiotherapist due to scoliosis, hyper mobility & sciatica. So welcoming, so warm, so calm, restorative & a real moment for you! From the small and intimate class size which means you get tailored support - to the atmosphere & I cannot do a review and not shout out Tuesday 9am Activate class! It’s just the best! The trainers are amazing, you’ll learn what session & trainer fits your vibe. Gurdev so personable and so funny! Vinny is excellent too. There are many trainers/classes to choose from and they all have great expertise just say my window of time I can’t get to experience them all. Since going my mobility and posture is so much better. Due to persistent lower back problems, when I have a flare I’m able to attend and go lighter on stretches and movements. It has really cultivated a better mental state as well, feeling more confident and able to stretch myself & mobility further since going and being consistent. Such a long review but I like started, I cannot rant & rave enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  After three years at Absolute, I can honestly say it has become an integral part of my health and wellbeing journey. I started in the beginner Activate classes and, with the encouragement and support of the instructors, have recently progressed into the intermediate classes. That transition felt daunting at first, but it has been made so much easier thanks to the incredible guidance of the team. It’s a real testament to the collaborative approach at Absolute—the instructors genuinely want to see you progress and succeed. The support is phenomenal, particularly from Gurdev, Alexis, Olaf and Vinny, who consistently create challenging, motivating and supportive classes. And whenever Luke, the Grand Master himself, is teaching, it’s always an added bonus—his knowledge, attention to detail and teaching are second to none. The intermediate classes are undoubtedly more challenging, but because the foundations built in the beginner classes are so strong, you quickly gain confidence and start to catch up. I feel significantly stronger than when I first joined. My core strength has improved enormously, my posture is better, I stand taller, and I genuinely feel the benefits in everyday life. Perhaps my favourite part is the feeling after class. That post-Pilates buzz is often the highlight of my day. It’s a complete mind and body reset. Once you lie down on the reformer, you know that for the next hour you can switch off, focus on yourself, and leave feeling better than when you arrived. I also sleep incredibly well after Pilates sessions! What makes Absolute special is the warm, welcoming community they have created. Whether you're a complete beginner or moving into intermediate classes, you are fully supported every step of the way. I currently combine Pilates with two gym sessions a week for weight training and some cardio, and the strength, mobility and body awareness I’ve gained from Pilates have benefited all aspects of my fitness. I genuinely can't fault Absolute. It has been one of the best investments I've made in my health. I feel stronger, move better, sleep better, and have gained so much confidence in what my body can do. I look forward to many more years at the studio—and hopefully trying out those Jump classes soon! Lots of love ❤️. Naz xxx

  Initially skeptical about reformer pilates (and exercise in general, I’m quite lazy by nature) I was convinced to go to Absolute by friends who lived locally. I started going to beginners classes where I found the instructors to be friendly, knowledgable and super helpful. The classes were challenging but enjoyable and the instructors really focused on correct alignment and were really hands on with adjustments and making sure you do the exercises in the right way. I soon felt confident enough to progress to intermediate classes and after going regularly for a few months I one day realised that all the aches and pains that had plagued me since my teens (aching knees, sore back, tight shoulders) had gone, I hadn’t felt them for ages. This alone makes my membership totally worth it. I also find it really great for clearing my head. If I’m ever stressed I always find I feel so much better after a class. So I’m now totally converted to both Pilates and exercise in general! I’ve occasionally been to other Pilates studios and the level of teaching just isn’t the same. Huge thumbs up to Luke and the team for putting together a brilliant team of instructors. I’ve found that it doesn’t matter whose class you go to, they are all fantastic and I can’t recommend Absolute enough. Cheers to all!

  I love my classes at Absolute! I graded up from Beginner to Intermediate and loved the increasing challenge. Each instructor brings a different personality to their classes so that there is variety not just in the exercises but also in the vibes. I've definitely noticed increased strength, muscle tone and posture and improved neck pain over time.

  I’ve never consistently exercised in my adult life until I found Absolute Studios. I just moved from beginner to intermediate and I really love it. I actually look forward to coming. The instructors feel like they become your friends and actually care. I see the results, I see my friends and feel the benefits
