Discover reformer pilates class at Nobu Pilates

  Unfortunately, the class wasn’t what I expected from a Reformer Pilates class. The machine itself felt underused, particularly the spring resistance and much of the workout could have easily been done on a regular mat. A large portion focused on core movements such as scissors and crunch-style exercises, with the head and shoulders held up repeatedly. By the end of the session, I was left with noticeable discomfort in my neck rather than feeling like I’d had a balanced reformer workout. I was also surprised by the lack of attention to different ability levels, especially since the class was advertised as suitable for all levels. One participant clearly mentioned that it was her first time ever doing Reformer Pilates, yet there seemed to be very little additional guidance, explanation, or modification offered to her as a complete beginner. Another uncomfortable aspect was the instructor personal hygiene. There was a noticeable odour particularly when she came close to participants, which made parts of the session unpleasant. Given how closely instructors interact with clients during Pilates classes, I think maintaining good personal hygiene is an important part of providing a professional and comfortable environment. The experience also felt rushed at the end. Almost immediately after the class finished, staff entered to mop the floor and clean the reformers while we were still getting ready to leave. I hadn’t even managed to put my shoes back on before cleaning started around us, which made it feel as though we were being hurried out. Overall, the class fell short of what I would expect from a Reformer Pilates session in terms of equipment use, instruction, consideration for different experience levels and the overall experience.

  This was my first time at Nobu Pilates and the class was amazing - the studio was so chic and aesthetic and beautiful but what stood out most was the warm welcome I received from the woman at the front desk. Her name was illy and she went ABOVE AND BEYOND to be so incredibly kind to me and show me around and she was just EXCELLENT. I hope to be greeted by someone as kind as her everytime I walk into a place! Loved this experience.

  I had an amazing experience at the Pilates class with Delicia! From start to finish, the session was engaging, well-structured, and incredibly effective. Delicia is a fantastic teacher—she explains everything clearly, pays close attention to form, and creates such a welcoming and encouraging atmosphere. Her energy is motivating without being overwhelming, and she adapts the exercises to suit different levels, which made the class feel both challenging and accessible. I left feeling stronger, more balanced, and genuinely refreshed. Highly recommend her classes to anyone looking for a great Pilates instructor!

  I’ve been attending Nobu on and off for four years. After one of my regular instructors left in 2023, I stopped going as often. This year, I had my first class with Delicia and have become much more regular. She remembers who you are, pays attention to your form and genuinely pushes you to improve. Even on days when I don’t feel like going, I know I’ll leave her class feeling stronger and glad I went. She’s an incredible instructor and a real asset to Nobu.

  Absolutely love Nobu Pilates. The studio is calm, welcoming and such a nice space to be in, it instantly makes you feel at ease. The instructors are brilliant: friendly, knowledgeable and really attentive, so you always feel supported whether you’re new to pilates or more experienced. The classes are challenging in a good way and NEVER intimidating. I always leave feeling stronger, more balanced and genuinely good in my body. It’s clear a lot of thought has gone into both the teaching and the overall experience. A really great studio that I’d happily recommend to anyone.
