Aligné Studio · Great Portland Street, W1
Reformer Pilates in Central London
Build strength, improve posture and move better on our reformer beds — in small classes where the instructor actually knows your name. Minutes from Oxford Circus and Great Portland Street stations.

Why Train on the Reformer?
Strength With Support
Spring resistance scales to you — the same machine challenges athletes and gently supports complete beginners.
Precision Feedback
The moving carriage tells you instantly when you rush or use momentum, so every rep teaches control.
Joint-Friendly Training
Low-impact resistance work that builds real strength without pounding your knees, hips or spine.
Visible Posture Gains
Reformer work targets the deep core and back muscles that keep you tall at your desk and beyond.
Your First Reformer Class
Arrive a little early
Come 10 minutes before class. Your instructor will show you the reformer, set the springs for you and answer any questions.
Learn the fundamentals
Classes begin with breath and core engagement, then move through guided exercises — every movement is demonstrated and adjusted to your level.
Work at your own pace
Small class sizes mean your instructor sees your form and offers modifications throughout. Nobody is left guessing.
Leave taller
Expect to feel worked but not wrecked — most clients notice their posture and body awareness change within the first few classes.
Start With Our Intro Offer
The easiest way to try us — new clients get 3 classes to use across any styles within a month.

Real experiences from our Pilates community
I’ve attended Catarina’s class yesterday. She is so patient and professional. I love this incredible class.

First infrared pilates session with Catarina, and I’m already booking my next one. She’s an exceptionally professional and attentive instructor: knowledgeable, precise, and genuinely invested in how her clients are doing. The class was well-structured, and more challenging than I anticipated in the best possible way. The infrared experience was a revelation, I felt amazing afterwards. Highly recommend to anyone looking to level up their practice.

Only recently found Aligné - however all the classes I’ve done have been amazing. Every teacher I have had I’ve been so impressed with, classes are small so they are very attentive but also extremely knowledgeable and well prepared for all levels - this is sometimes what other places lack. I will be making a regular appearance here!

Absolutely love ALIGNÉ. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and every class feels intentional and well guided. It’s the perfect mix of strength, mobility, and nervous system reset. You can really feel the care that’s been put into the space and the experience.

ALIGNÉ is such a beautiful and calming space. The classes are thoughtful, challenging in the best way, and really focused on moving with awareness rather than pushing the body. You leave feeling stronger, more balanced, and genuinely better in your body. One of the best studios in London.

I've been coming to Aligné every week for a few months now. This is a true classical pilates sanctuary! A rare find in the heart of central London. Owners Amanda + Justine are truly lovely, supportive and knowledgeable teachers. Ive had other classes with Daisy, Shannon and Hollie too and they are amazing too. The reformer classes are small with a maximum of 6 people- teachers are very attentive and supportive. There is a strong emphasis on form and flow. A truly relaxing and zen studio, with consistent high quality classes, would highly recommend 😊

My absolute favourite studio in London/ the planet. The classes are so sophisticated, fun, executed with high levels of knowledge, talent and passion. The energy is amazing, the Infra Red mats are so healing, esp for London lifestyle. I love the teachers and the founders and all the different classes. This space is life changing and a beautiful community to be a part of

I had my first reformer/ tower class with Faye last week, she was friendly and supportive. Some instructors can be quite assumptive and patronising, but Faye was really encouraging and the moves were creative and challenging. Would recommend to all experience levels.

Signed up for a 3 class intro pack with Aligne Studio and it was the best decision I made during my holiday in LDN. The studio is centrally located, clean and bright. It was also my first time trying out infrared mat Pilates and the reformer tower, and I appreciated the instructors (Justine and Daisy) clear cues and explanation of the benefits of infrared light at the start of class :) Highly recommended - would have signed up for a class pack if I lived full-time in London! Hope to be back soon!

An absolute must if you love classical reformer style pilates. Justine was very attentive to all of our forms and was amazing for strength and mobility. Highly recommend!!!

Honestly, this is my new go-to spot. It’s super convenient (literally 5 mins from Oxford Circus) but feels like a total escape because the studio is so modern. I’ve tried both the Infrared Mat and Reformer Tower classes—both are amazing and the heat is a total game changer. They have a huge team (25 instructors!) so it’s actually easy to find a slot that fits a busy schedule. Highly recommend if you want top-tier Pilates in Marylebone / Fitzrovia

Best reformer pilates studio in London! Great value for money! Couldn’t be more central and the quality of the teaching is amazing - the instructor really took the time to improve my posture. I could feel the burn for days after the session ! Let’s not mention this is the only studio in the UK offering infrared pilates classes 🤩

Only 6 reformer tower machines so we were all getting hands on adjustments from the instructor. First time on the towers, excited to explore more though it’s quite challenging

Review of Pilates Mat/Infrared Class
What a great class led by Seany this morning. She is an excellent teacher - welcoming, friendly, helpful and encouraging and all her instructions were clear and expertly demonstrated. This was the first time I'd exercised using the infrared mats and it was a great experience - warm heat that wasn't overwhelming that really helped my muscles stretch with ease. I left the class with a lovely inner glow that I'm sure will stay with me throughout the day. ❤️

Super fun but tough class with expert - relaxed but clear - instruction. In addition to the benefits of infrared, the mats were comfy and created a great ambiance :)

Yes. The reformer’s springs can assist movements as well as resist them, which often makes it easier for beginners to find proper form than on a mat. Our instructors set everything up for you and guide you through your first class.
Fitted, comfortable clothing you can move in, plus grip socks for the reformer. Bring a water bottle — everything else is provided at the studio.
We keep class sizes small so instructors can give personal attention and correct form throughout — an intimate studio experience rather than a crowded gym floor.
Aligné Studio is at 59 Great Portland Street, London W1W 7LJ — a short walk from Oxford Circus and Great Portland Street stations.
