AJ Reformer Studio: Your FAQs Answered

We’re so excited to welcome you to AJ Reformer Studio, Cardiff’s luxury Reformer Pilates studio. If you're thinking of booking your first class or just want to know more about how we work, here’s everything you need to know before you step onto the reformer.

Getting Started at AJ Reformer Studios

1. I’m new to Reformer Pilates. Which class should I start with?

If you’re new to Reformer Pilates, we recommend starting with our Beginners class. This session is designed to introduce you to the equipment, key movements, and our teaching style in a supportive, small-group setting.

2. I’ve done a few beginners’ classes elsewhere. Should I still start with Beginners at AJ Reformer?

Yes, even if you’ve taken a few Reformer classes before, trying our Beginners class first will help you get comfortable with our approach and ensure you’re confident before moving to a more advanced class.

3. How many Beginners classes should I take before progressing?

Most clients feel ready to move on after 3-5 Beginners sessions, but this varies. If you feel strong and confident, you can progress sooner. If you’d like to build more of a foundation, you’re welcome to stay in Beginners for longer.

4. Which class should I take after Beginners?

Once you feel comfortable, you can move into one of the following:

Pure: A great step up from Beginners, focusing on form, control, and progression.

Strength: Adds resistance and intensity, ideal if you want to build muscle and challenge your endurance.

Dynamic: A faster-paced, more athletic class that flows between movements for a full-body challenge.

You can mix and match, but we recommend starting with Pure or Strength before jumping into Dynamic.

Class Structure & Booking

5. How many people are in each class?

Our classes are limited to 8 people to ensure you get plenty of attention and support from the instructor.

6. I’m worried about class availability. Will my pass expire before I can use it?

7. How do I book a class?
