The Wellness Lab Pilates is a reformer Pilates studio at 330A Pollen Street in Thames, in a relaxed, friendly setting for all levels. The website says its regular reformer class suits beginners and more advanced people alike, with spring tension adjusted to each person. A gentler class suits people over 65, new to Pilates, or recovering from a major injury or surgery, and medical clearance is asked for. There are also classes for pregnancy, and a postnatal class for women from six weeks after birth, or twelve weeks after a caesarean. Babies are welcome in a capsule or pram, and older children who can be entertained are welcome too. Anyone with an injury is asked to email before a class or tell the instructor at the start.
Reviewers describe a supportive instructor, Renee, and a friendly, fun class, including one for a first-timer with a knee issue. One review says the studio's physiotherapist and owner, Richard Barlow, gave a clear diagnosis and a realistic treatment plan, and was very personable.
