Pilates-Based Personal Training: London

When Joseph Pilates pioneered his incredible body-conditioning and core-strength training exercises in the 1920s, he didn’t intend for his methods to be condensed into rushed classes that are squeezed into a couple of weekly classes after a day at work. Instead, classical Pilates was designed to be a holistic approach to fitness and rehabilitation. At Fitness Lab, that’s exactly how we use those principles.

We don’t offer group Pilates classes. Instead, our Pilates personal training sessions put Pilates principles at the heart of your bespoke personal training program. We use some of the methods and practices you’ll find in mat Pilates classes to help you work towards a more toned, stronger, and healthier version of you.

With highly knowledgeable in-house Pilates instructors, you will be absolutely confident you’re in good hands – and if you’d like to build even more Reformer Pilates or a mat Pilates into your program, we have dedicated 1-1 Pilates Reformer sessions in a studio made exactly for that.

Private Pilates-Based Personal Training

When you trust Fitness Lab to help you work towards your health and fitness goals, you get to work out in your own private pod space.

For you, this means no queuing for machines, no wiping equipment down before you get started, and no busy changing rooms. Our Pilates-based personal training is carried out with dedicated space, equipment, and the 1-on-1 attention of your own expert personal trainer.

Our three studios are in Mayfair, Soho and Fitzrovia - with lots of handy nearby transport options too - so you're never far from expert Pilates tuition, whatever your fitness goal.

Do we offer mat or reformer Pilates classes?

Yes, we do. Rather than group classes, we focus on 1-1 sessions using our Reformer or mats where you get dedicated focus from your personal trainer and your own private space to workout in. There are some excellent Pilates classes in London – and we’re more than happy to point you in the direction of those if you'd prefer to exercise in a group – but we apply Pilates principles in a way that's more focused on your unique abilities and goals.

Personal training at Fitness Lab is carried out in such a way that you will build the same kind of strength and control that you would expect from a world-class Pilates class. Our personal trainers understand the key full-body-workout principles that underpin Pilates and they will make sure you build upon this strength in each of your private sessions.

Building body awareness

If you’ve researched Pilates or watched any bootcamp Pilates videos online, you’ll perhaps already have heard instructors talking about the ‘mind-body connection’. Building Pilates techniques into personal training sessions is an outstanding way of developing this connection – and it’s something that will be a huge benefit to your training.

The kind of body transformations we specialise in at Fitness Lab don’t come from mindlessly plodding on a treadmill; they come by understanding exactly how your body moves, how your different muscles operate as you workout, and how the correct breathing techniques can transform the way you perform. We won’t just build this awareness; we give you all the knowledge you need to master this connection and get 100% from every training session.

Can Anyone Do Pilates-Based Personal Training?

Pilates exercise is suitable for almost everyone. Even if you haven’t worked out in a long time, the low-impact nature of Pilates movements and Pilates-focused personal training makes it an excellent way to begin building your fitness and ability levels back up.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a new mum, an office worker, a professional athlete, a body-builder, or all of the above – the kind of posture, balance, and flexibility and core strength that Pilates-based PT offers will mean you achieve the kind of results you’re looking for quicker than most people think is possible.

Pilates-Focused PT for Injury Rehabilition

Although it might seem like a new fitness trend, the very first Pilates studio was actually established to help injured dancers and soldiers recover from injuries and illness. Over 100 years later, countless coaching and physical therapy professionals still consider the techniques it teaches to be the most effective way to rebuild strength and re-establish functional movement following an accident or injury.

At Fitness Lab, we have a wrap-around team of Pilates experts, professional strength coaches, physiotherapists, osteopaths, and massage therapists who are here to support you on your journey back from illness or injury.

Fitness Lab online classes

Can’t make it to training sessions or organised Pilates reformer classes elsewhere? No problem. The team at Fitness Lab can schedule personal Pilates-based personal training that we can deliver online and via our dedicated Fitness Lab app – wherever life takes you.

By paying individual attention to you and carefully studying your movements and form as you train, our experienced personal trainers will deliver a first-class service whether you’re in the studio or not.

Pilates-Based Personal Training for Pre and Post Natal Fitness

Pregnancy, childbirth, and the experience of being a new parent comes with an almost endless list of conditions that can leave you feeling exhausted and out of shape. The low-impact nature of Pilates-focused training is an absolutely perfect way of balancing your physical and mental well-being through every step.

From easing lower-back issues and sciatica to accelerating your physical recovery after delivery, personal training that's built on Pilates principles can be the secret weapon you need to keep you feeling great, whatever pregnancy and parenthood brings.

A Pilates Experience Tailored to your Level of Fitness

New to Pilates principles or working out in general? Don’t panic. We might have elite-level facilities and coaches – but that doesn’t mean we expect you to be an Olympic athlete! Personal training is exactly that – personal, so whatever level of health and fitness you have, we’ll create a workout program that is completely bespoke and focused on your specific abilities, hopes and goals.

Do We Have a Pilates Reformer Machine at Fitness Lab?

Yes, we do. In fact, we have a completely dedicated studio space at our Soho location for 1-1 private Pilates sessions.

Our dedicated room has been created with Pilates sessions in mind - so it's completely private, houses a world-class Reformer, has plenty of space for mat exercises, and even has it's own dedicated air-con and music system - so the space can be tailored to your exact requirements.

Of course, you still have access to our spotless and well-equipped changing facilities too - so if you'd like to fit some focused 1-1 Pilates training into your day, we're the perfect studio - and our experienced coaches can help your training regardless of your Pilates and fitness history.

Radomira is a great coach. Highly motivating, fun, excellent listener, sessions with her are never boring. She know how to push people out of the comfort zone without forcing them. Rare quality for a coach. The studio itself is optimally located at the heat of Soho and is very well equipped. The concept of a coach-only gym is not common and probably the best option for anyone who take their fitness seriously.

I have been with Fitness Lab for 2 years it has been a gradual transition to strength and fitness working with my excellent trainer Ash. It isn’t a quick fix to weight loss but a longer term investment in being a stronger me. With the individual focus I just don’t have to think about having to motivate myself, or worry about whether I am using the weights correctly, Ash takes care of that and gradually pushes me to push myself.

I chose Fitness Lab because the idea of a gym with a more intimate atmosphere, free from overwhelming crowds was very appealing to me. Originally, I planned to join for just a couple of months to get ready for summer, but here I am in November, still committed! The primary reason for that is my PT Radomira, who creates a customised program that suits my individual goals, always motivates me without pushing too hard and makes each session enjoyable and uplifting. I can actually see the progress and am very happy that I ended up choosing this gym.

I would absolutely recommend Fitness Lab to anyone who is looking get the best PT experience in London. It really helps to be working out in a private space rather than in a public gym and the facilities and equipment are all first-rate and well-maintained. I have to give a huge thank you to my PT, Ash, who has turbo-charged my training. He has put the time, effort and his knowledge into tailoring my workouts to achieve my goals. I don't feel like I'm aimlessly working out or unsure of whether I'm doing the right thing or not anymore and the results have been fantastic. I'm improving in areas that I have always struggled with and it just makes me even more motivated. Ash always brings the right vibe so that I look forward to each session rather than it feeling like a chore. He keeps the workouts varied to make things interesting and if there is ever something I can't do because of injury then he is able to adapt when necessary. The whole experience at Fitness Lab has been fantastic.

The private personal training here helped me gain control of complicated back issues and get back to playing rugby for the first time in years! My PT was so focused on specifics for my situation and the results speak for themselves. They are so well located for a lunchtime session from work. In my opinion the best personal training studio in Soho!
