First time?

Good. We built this just for you!

Everyone's first class feels a bit terrifying. Ours are designed to make sure it isn't.

  • I’m so glad Vagabond Pilates opened this gorgeous studio. Never has going to a new class been more welcoming. There’s nothing worse than feeling like the newbie but within minutes of starting your first class you’ll feel like you belong.

Find Your Level.

Rookie or Build (Suitable for Rookies)

Your starting point. You will learn the fundamentals, get to grips with the reformer, and leave feeling like you have actually done something. No experience needed, we got you.

Build

You have done your Rookies. Now we get to work. Expect more repertoire, more challenge and more of those "I didn't know my body could do that" moments.

Two women exercising on a Pilates reformer machine in a brick-walled fitness studio. One woman has blonde hair and is sitting on the reformer, holding onto the straps. The other woman has her hair tied up and is also using the reformer, focusing on her exercise. The room has warm lighting and mirrors reflected on the wall.

Collective

You know the reformer, you know the moves, now it gets interesting. Collective classes are for those who have built a solid foundation. Expect harder variations, faster transitions and a class that will make you work for it.

Collective x Strength

A Collective level class with a singular focus. Tim takes the full reformer repertoire and uses spring resistance and sequencing to build genuine strength and endurance. This is not a gentle session. Come ready to work. Collective level and above only. Lytchett only.

A woman is practicing yoga on a black mat inside a room with wooden wall paneling and a large mirror. She is sitting on a platform with one leg raised, holding her foot with one hand and her knee with the other. She is wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and black pants. The room has a window with sunlight streaming in.

Mastery

This is as good as it gets. Mastery classes are for experienced Pilates practitioners who want to be pushed to their absolute limit. Complex sequences, advanced variations and an instructor who will not let you get away with anything. You have worked for your place in this room.

Athletic (Tim’s Special)

Pilates turned up to 11. Fast paced, high energy and genuinely cardiovascular, Athletic Reformer takes the full reformer repertoire and pushes the tempo without ever losing the precision that makes Pilates what it is. Expect to sweat, expect your heart rate to climb, and expect to be reminded that Pilates and a proper workout are not mutually exclusive. Lytchett Matravers and Blandford.

Chair and Tower

A blended class combining two of the most classical pieces of Pilates apparatus — the tower and the Wunda Chair — just as Joseph Pilates intended. Deceptively brutal, endlessly challenging and unlike anything else on the timetable. Blandford only

Stretch

The reformer is one of the best tools in existence for a deep, supported stretch and this class uses it exactly for that. Expect long holds, serious release and that very specific feeling of your body finally letting go of everything it has been holding onto. All levels welcome. Lytchett only.

Roulette

You do not get to know what is coming. The instructor chooses the apparatus, the format and the challenge. It might be reformer, tower, chair, mat or all of the above. The only guarantee is that it will be good. Blandford only.
