Reformer & mat pilates · Sittingbourne

AJ Pilates

Move with intention

Small-group reformer and mat pilates in a calm, light-filled studio.

Philosophy

AJ Pilates

A place made for movement

We believe pilates should feel as good as it is good for you. Our classes are small, your instructor knows your name, and every session is paced so you can move with intention rather than rush to keep up.

“Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.”

— Joseph Pilates

“Contrology is complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit.”

— Joseph Pilates

Our classes

Three ways to move

Small groups, expert cueing and a pace that leaves room to breathe.

  • A reformer class lying back on the carriages with legs extended in the foot straps

    Reformer

    Beginner & Advanced

    Spring-loaded resistance on the reformer for strength, control and length.

  • Clients holding a plank during a group class at the studio

    Mat Pilates

    All levels

    Classical mat work for core strength, posture and breath.

  • A group class reaching forward with arms extended at the studio

    Sculpt Barre

    All levels

    Pilates-inspired barre work to tone, lengthen and lift.

01. Reformer

Beginner & Advanced

Spring-loaded resistance on the reformer for strength, control and length.

Our signature class, taught at two levels. Beginner sessions introduce the springs, straps and breath so you can move with confidence; Advanced sessions build on that foundation with longer sequences and a stronger, more flowing pace.

Levels: Beginner & Advanced

02. Mat Pilates

All levels

Classical mat work for core strength, posture and breath.

Grounded in the classical repertoire, with small props to deepen the work. A brilliant complement to reformer classes, and a gentle way in if you're new to pilates.

Level: All levels

03. Sculpt Barre

All levels

Pilates-inspired barre work to tone, lengthen and lift.

Small, controlled movements and pulses that shape the legs, glutes and core while improving balance and posture. No dance experience needed — just a willingness to move.

Level: All levels

The studio

Light, quiet and unhurried

Eight Balanced Body reformers in a high-ceilinged, naturally lit room, with warm showers, a changing area and somewhere to sit with a tea afterwards.

Questions

Good to know

I've never done pilates. Where should I start?

Book a Beginner Reformer or a Mat Pilates class. Both are made for newcomers, and Anna will show you everything you need.

What should I wear and bring?

Comfortable, close-fitting clothes and grip socks (we sell them at the studio if you forget). Bring a water bottle — we have a filtered water tap.

I have an injury or I'm pregnant. Can I still come?

Usually, yes. Please complete the health questions when you book and let Anna know before class. She'll suggest options that suit you, including if you're pregnant.

What's your cancellation policy?

You can cancel free of charge up to 12 hours before class in the booking app. Later cancellations or no-shows lose the class from your pack or membership.

How early should I arrive?

Ten minutes before your first class so we can show you around and set up your reformer. After that, five minutes is plenty.

Is there parking?

There's pay-and-display parking on the street outside and a public car park two minutes' walk away. We also have bike racks by the door.
