Reformer Pilates & Mat classes in our studio in Earlsfield, London
Fundamentals Reformer Pilates
This class is great for beginners as it teaches you the basics of how to use the Reformer with more of a focus on technique. This class has a slower pace than the dynamic Reformer Pilates class but don’t worry you will still get that intense Pilates burn. This class is also recommended for seniors.
Dynamic Reformer Pilates
This class is our standard dynamic intermediate Reformer Pilates class. Expect to be pushed to your limits but also still having fun along the way. We recommend trying a few fundamental classes first so you get to grips with the Reformer machine. This class is will get you stronger, fitter and will be a great kick start to your day.
Intense Reformer Pilates
This is an advanced Reformer Pilates class so it’s Pilates taken up a notch in terms of intensity. Think longer plank holds, stronger springs and a higher heart rate. If you’re feeling energetic and you want a strong and intense Pilates workout then this is for you. Don’t let this scare you off as we always offer modifications and options that suit your level.
Towerburn Pilates
A Tower Burn class is different from Reformer Pilates as it’s a mat connected to a tower unit, using independent springs as opposed to the Reformer which uses a pulley system. This apparatus offers a whole new repertoire of Pilates and if you like mat Pilates, Reformer and barre then this is your kind of class. You don’t find these classes in every Reformer Pilates studio and is a top favourite at Avalon.
Reformer Pilates Jumpboard
The jumpboard is when you have a jumpboard placed at the end of the Reformer. The jumpboard gives you the sensation of jumping & running but you’re often lying down! It’s less pressure and intensity on the joints but still builds up strength and gets in your cardio fix. This is still a Reformer Pilates class, but the jumpboard gives it a different and more intense feel.
Chill & Stretch Reformer Pilates
This class is focused on stretching, mobility and breath all with the aim of calming you down and stretching you out. This will centre you and allow for a deep connection between mind and body. It may be done on the Reformer as well as on the Tower. This class has a slow and relaxed pace.
Prenatal & Postnatal
We welcome women in all trimesters into a safe space where you can get your Pilates fix with care. We will help you with aspects such as pelvic floor, core, mobility and strength. You can come to class up until your due date. If there are any health concerns or complications please check with your doctor before you come to the studio.
Vinyasa & Yin Yoga
Yoga is the practice of movement, breathwork and mindfulness that is a great form of exercise that also calms and centres you. We have a range of Yoga practices from Vinyasa, Rocket and Yin.
Barre
Barre is a full-body workout that combines ballet barre, Yoga, Pilates and dance. It targets those tiny muscles and gives you such a great burn. You mostly work with the barre, but you also work with other Pilates props and weights.
Mat Pilates
Mat Pilates is Pilates using your bodyweight and props, completed on a mat, rather than the Reformer machine. Mat Pilates helps to lengthen, strengthen and balance your body while also increasing concentration and flexibility.
Strength & Sculpt
This class will be led by a Personal Trainer and will be strength and/or HIT based to get the endorphins high. This will be a combination of weight training and cardiovascular high intensity training.
Mums & Bubs Reformer/Barre
Fed up of at home workouts taken between your baby’s naps? Come and bring your baby in a buggy and get your Pilates session in. We will be working on building back your core, posture as well as overall strength. This is also a great opportunity to meet local mums in your area! Please note, for safety reasons, we only allow babies rather than toddlers that can move around. We have both Reformer and Barre classes available.
