Lift, then lengthen
Weights and reformer work complement each other. Here you can do both, coached by someone who loves both.
Wellington Pilates,one junction away.
Reformer Pilates classes, private sessions and strength training in a calm stable studio at Thornfalcon, about twenty minutes from Wellington via the M5.
“If you are a complete beginner, please don't hesitate to book.”
About 20 minutesfrom Wellington on the M5
A short hop
Close to home, a different world.
From Wellington, the quickest way to me is a single junction of the M5: on at 26, off at 25, then a few minutes east along the A358. It's about twenty minutes door to door, and most of it is motorway.
At the other end is something quite unlike a sports hall timetable. My studio is a converted stable at Thornfalcon Winery & Press, with vines, orchards, a wildlife lake and resident swans, chickens and doves. Inside are premium reformer beds and a fully equipped private gym.
That mix is the point. Helfit is a hybrid space for strength training and reformer Pilates, so you can lift with me one week and lengthen on the reformer the next, all with the same coach.

Wellington questions
A few things worth knowing.
How long does it take to get to Helfit from Wellington?
About twenty minutes. Take the M5 north from junction 26 to junction 25, then follow the A358 for a few minutes through Henlade to Thornfalcon (TA3 5NP).
Do I need Pilates experience to join a class?
Not at all. My classes are for the brand new and the already obsessed, with clear options for every level. If you'd like to learn the basics first, book a 1:1 session for £45.
I'm coming back from an injury. Can I still start?
Often, yes. You'll fill in a health form first and we'll talk through what you need. I'd usually suggest starting 1:1. If you're under the care of a GP or physiotherapist, check with them before you begin.
Can I combine strength training and reformer Pilates?
Yes, and it's what my studio was built for. Personal training in the private gym starts with a free consultation, and reformer classes are £20, so you can mix the two in whatever way suits your week.
