Reformer Pilates is a dynamic, full-body workout using a spring-resistance machine. It builds strength, improves posture, enhances mobility and supports overall fitness. We know you’ll love it!
Yes! At Studio Seventeen Pilates, we consider a beginner to be someone who has done between 0-10 reformer Pilates classes in the past year. Our ‘Foundation Flow’ and ‘Core Control’ classes are beginner-friendly and beginner sessions are clearly highlighted when you book. We kindly ask that if you’re in this category, you stick to these beginner sessions before moving up, as joining intermediate or advanced classes too soon can affect the flow and experience for other clients. Our instructors always offer modifications so you can progress safely and confidently.
You can book via our Studio Seventeen website, the Mindbody app or the Mindbody desktop site. Our Studio Seventeen App is coming soon…
Classes can be booked up to 7 days in advance. Availability may vary depending on the schedule.
You must cancel at least 24 hours before class to retain your credit. Late cancellations or no-shows will result in the class being deducted. Exceptions may apply in certain circumstances.
For safety reasons, we ask that all clients arrive 10 minutes ahead of the class. If you arrive more than 5 minutes after class starts, you may not be admitted and the class will still be deducted from your credits.
Yes, grip socks are required for all reformer classes for hygiene and safety. You can purchase a pair at the studio if you don’t have them.
Comfortable activewear that you feel your best in! Grip socks are mandatory, these can be purchased from the studio or you can bring you own!
Grip socks are a must and we recommend that you bring a water bottle. You might also want a sweat towel as these are not provided. Other than that, just your beautiful self! We provide all the equipment you need for the session.
Yes, all first-timers at Studio Seventeen need to complete a quick induction before joining an instructor-led class. Please arrive 15 minutes early, as your instructor will call you in before everyone else to show you the ropes. You’ll learn how to set up your reformer, adjust the foot bar and stopper, and get comfy with the springs. It’s mandatory for your safety and so you can feel confident using the machine. Think of it as us investing a little extra time into you, so your very first class feels smooth and enjoyable. Anyone who hasn’t done the induction won’t be able to join the class – but once it’s done, you’re all set to go!
Yes, but it’s nice and simple! For On-Demand sessions, your induction comes in the form of a short safety video (about 8 minutes). You’ll receive the link in your booking confirmation email, so you can watch it in advance or you can play it when you arrive at your reformer bed. The video covers the basics you need to know to use the machine safely and confidently. Once you’ve watched it, you’re free to hop on the On-Demand reformers whenever you like!
We recommend 2–3 classes per week for best results, but even 1 class a week can improve strength, posture and flexibility. What we love about our offering is that you can mix and match instructor-led and On-Demand classes to reach your desired goal.
We have a space for you to sit down whilst you remove your shoes and safely store them and your belongings. We do not have changing rooms or showers at the studio.
We kindly ask that phones are kept silent during class to maintain focus and flow. If you’d like to film yourself for social media, you’re welcome to do so, as long as no other clients are captured, as their privacy is very important to us. Don’t forget to tag us when you share, we love seeing your progress!
For safety reasons, children and pets are not permitted in the studio.
We offer single and five class packs for instructor-led sessions. We offer 45-minute slots for our OnDemand (touchscreen kiosk) sessions. Full details can be found on our pricing page and MindBody app.
Yes! We offer a 3 for 2 intro pack on either Studio Seventeen Classes or On-Demand slots for all new clients.
If you’re pregnant and have previous Pilates experience, you may be able to join classes with medical clearance. Please contact us before booking so we can advise on the safest options. We also advise you to seek guidance from a medical professional.
This will vary on a case-by-case basis and will depend on how severe your injury is. We always advise that you take the advice of a medical professional when determining if reformer pilates is right for your recovery. Once they have given the go-ahead we are happy for you to join one of our classes. Please let your instructor know so they can provide modifications tailored to you.
With your doctor’s approval, you can usually return 6 weeks post natural birth or 10–12 weeks post C-section. We recommend starting with beginner or tailored sessions.
Yes, we offer 1:1, small group sessions and complete studio take-overs. Contact us at [email protected] for availability and pricing.
