Pilates HQ - (Near Camden, UK)

Zoe Lynch Im not a traditional gym-goer - more yoga/walking/avoiding anything with the word gym in it - but after a recent health scare - I rather tentatively made a call to Guy at the Barn. I was not excited, at all (!) about the prospect of joining a gym. BUT this place is different. Its friendly, inclusive, and you can see that the team genuinely care about you getting fitter. They run fitness tests for all clients throughout the year... and keep records of the results... a great incentive to keep focused. The options are either classes, which is what I attend, or personal training. Attending classes with other regular attendees makes the experience way more appealing than a solitary gym session. Indeed most people that join seem to stay for the long term. The first session I attended, we spent time in the outside gym. And when I say outside, I mean set amidst stunning Sussex countryside. Each lesson I feel both challenged and supported. I absolutely love going there. The drive up to the Barn is worth a visit alone. What a stunning place to exercise in. Oh, and two added bonuses: you dont need to commit to monthly gym fees, you can buy classes in bulk and attend at your convenience, and they play, what I consider, great music! ✨️

Sharaf Hijazin Finally, a reformer studio where you don’t have to choose between convenience, luxury, and location. I’ve tried almost every reformer studio in the area, and I stumbled upon this one a few weeks ago - what a difference. First, the class timings - which is probably one of the most important factors for me: there’s a class every single hour, which means I can pick a session on the day depending on work and life. At other studios, I always had to plan my schedule around limited time slots or specific instructors, and it made being consistent nearly impossible. Here, the flexibility has genuinely helped me keep at it. Second, the virtual-led classes: I wasn’t sure what to expect because this is such a new concept, but they’re actually one of my favourite features. The instructions are incredibly clear, consistent, and never dependent on an instructor’s mood or energy. It creates a calm, focused, no-judgment environment where I can just switch off and feel productive. Other studios in the area and tend to do a lot on marketing their instructors but when we actually come to the class, the instructors appear uninterested. Third, the studio itself and facilities: it’s modern, luxurious, spotless, and designed in a way that makes you disconnect from work and the outside world as soon as you step in. The people it attracts are kind and supportive, and it already feels like a little community. And finally, the location: our area desperately needed something like this. A clean, professional, reasonably priced reformer studio that’s local, accessible, and flexible enough to fit around real life - plus a place where you genuinely feel welcome. Couldn’t recommend it more. Thank you for opening here!

Mary Mileski Tia is a fantastic PT, if you want to take your training to the next level and really strive to achieve your goals, she’ll be your perfect trainer.

Anna Murphy Gibfit is a small, friendly gym so that John and his team get to know their clients well and can tailor each class to suit the group and an individuals needs. There are a variety of exercises so you never get bored, and theyre effective. I actually look forward to going!!

George Wells Imogen is an amazing personal trainer. I had no confidence in the gym. And Imogen had got me in two months to doing gym sessions with her every week and once a week on my own. Imogen is not just a personal trainer but also now a good friend :)
