About 1:1 sessions
Pilates near Yeovil,worth the drive.
Private 1:1 reformer Pilates and small classes in a calm converted stable, about 35 minutes from Yeovil, with online coaching to keep you going between visits.
“The classes are small, deeply supportive, and Helen is a brilliant instructor.”
About 35 minutesfrom Yeovil via the A303
The honest answer
Thirty-five minutes, well spent.
If you live in Yeovil, my studio isn't on your doorstep. It's about thirty-five minutes away: west on the A303 to Ilminster, then up the A358 towards Taunton. For a midweek evening class, that's a real commitment, and I'd rather say so up front.
So why make it? Because reformer Pilates done well is about attention. Someone watching how you move, setting the springs for your body and noticing when something isn't quite right. Here there's no rota of instructors and no crowded room, just small classes and private sessions with me, in a converted stable among 40 acres of vines.
You might have caught the feature about me on Nine Springs Radio (104.5 FM). If you're curious, the press page has that and more.

Yeovil questions
Worth asking before the drive.
How far is Helfit from Yeovil?
About 35 minutes by car. Take the A303 west to Ilminster, then the A358 north towards Taunton. The studio is at Manor Farm, Thornfalcon, Somerset TA3 5NP.
Is it worth the drive from Yeovil for reformer Pilates?
Only you can say, so try one session and decide. What you'd be driving for is a small, calm studio, premium reformers, and an award-winning coach who knows your name. And the farm setting tends to make the trip feel like part of the reset.
Can I do online coaching if I can't get to the studio often?
Yes, that's exactly what it's for. My members-only app gives you a personalised plan and over 200 demo videos, at home or in the gym with no equipment needed. It's £80 a month, with a programme updated every month, weekly check-ins and nutrition guidance.
Should my first visit be a class or a 1:1?
If you're new, I'd suggest 1:1 (£45) so you learn the reformer properly. If you're returning from an injury, 1:1 again, after a health form and a chat; check with your GP or physiotherapist if you're under their care. If you're ready to push and know your way around a reformer, a £20 class is a great start.
