Reformer pilates joins the party at premium London fitness boutique / Balanced Body
Combining art, design and fitness to deliver an inspiring and progressive experience that strengthens both body and mind, high-end boutique brand, BLOK has added Reformer Pilates to its offer at two of its four studios.

“Our BLOK community has totally embraced Reformer Pilates,” says Anna Freeman Head Trainer of Pilates and Reformer at BLOK. “We have 8 Reformers at our Clapton studio and 10 at our Shoreditch studio and it's proving to be a huge hit.”

BLOK partnered with Balanced Body® to provide the reformers. Anna adds: “I have been teaching Reformer Pilates on different types of machines for many years and we chose to go with the Allegro 2 Reformers at both studios because they are very well built and deliver an outstanding user experience. From order through to install the Balanced Body team were supportive and responsive. We look forward to an ongoing partnership with them.”

BLOK offers Reformer Pilates on a per class or class bundle basis that sit outside of the standard membership and class charges.

Anna adds: “In addition to bringing new opportunities to strengthen mind and body at BLOK, Reformer Pilates has created a whole new revenue stream for our studios which is producing a healthy additional income.

“The appeal of Pilates is expanding as more and more people understand the breadth of the mental and physical benefits. In addition to core strength, Reformer Pilates can also improve mobility, balance, posture as well as offering injury prevention, recovery and pain management. Reformer Pilates is really for anyone and everyone, all ages and all genders from beginners to experienced Pilates practitioners.’’

“We have recently launched a new class, RFRMR Essentials designed to fine-tune Pilates skills, build confidence using the Reformer and break down the more technically challenging movements. Delivered in an open-level class format, RFRMR Essentials is suitable for everyone.”

BLOK’s Clapton studio launched Reformer Pilates in May, followed by Shoreditch’s Reformer Pilates launch in September.

Testimonial
" Every Studio we’ve opened since 2007, we’ve equipped with Balanced Body Reformers - including our new Kings Cross flagship studio. There are good reasons why they remain our brand of choice. One, the relationship we have with Ken, and the Balanced Body team. And two, the equipment you use says a lot about you as a brand. They’re not cheap but you absolutely get what you pay for. Their reformers are rock solid, easy to adjust and practically indestructible - despite some of our clients’ best efforts!"
– Justin Rogers, Creative Director, Ten Health & Fitness
Testimonial
Balanced Body equipment was essential in providing LifeTime customers with premium Pilates experiences. They are exceptional in terms of quality, timeliness, and customer service. Our account manager provided on-time consultation, equipment, and parts delivery for our 200+ locations. Balanced Body even customized a reformer to meet the needs of our discerning Pilates instructors! I highly recommend Balanced Body as the best Pilates partner.
– Eduardo Perez, consultant, Pilates club industry and former Director of Pilates, LifeTime Inc
