Gentle, Effective Movement for Pain Relief, Strength and Confidence
If you’re recovering from injury, struggling with pain, or feeling nervous about joining a class, our Physio-Led 1:1 Reformer Pilates sessions in Billericay, Essex are the perfect place to start.
Led by experienced physiotherapists Anna Meggitt and Hannah Barker, these sessions combine expert rehabilitation knowledge with the precision and support of the Pilates Reformer to help you move better, feel stronger and rebuild confidence safely.
We’re also delighted to offer increased availability with our Master Reformer Instructor, Laura Cain. Laura brings many years of experience teaching both Reformer and Matwork Pilates and has completed extensive additional healthcare training, including injury rehabilitation, pre- and postnatal exercise, and specialist exercise for individuals with long-term health conditions. Her expertise ensures sessions are safe, supportive, and tailored to your individual needs.
What Is Physio-Led Reformer Pilates?
Reformer Pilates is a form of Pilates using a specialist bed with adjustable springs and pulleys to provide resistance and support. Under the guidance of a physiotherapist, it becomes a powerful tool for rehabilitation, injury recovery and gentle strength training.
Every session is fully tailored to you: your body, your goals and your level of confidence.
Our 1:1 Reformer Pilates is ideal if you are:
- Recovering from back pain, sciatica or disc injuries
- Managing hip, knee or shoulder pain
- Rebuilding strength after surgery or injury
- Struggling with stiffness, poor posture or balance issues
- Finding group classes too advanced or not suitable due to pain or mobility problems
What to Expect in Your First Session
Your first 45-minute session is a personalised assessment and introduction to the Reformer. We’ll:
✅ Assess your movement, strength and flexibility
✅ Familiarise you with the Reformer and how to use it safely
✅ Guide you through tailored exercises for your needs
✅ Create a clear plan for your recovery or ongoing sessions
You’ll leave feeling more confident, knowing exactly how the Reformer can help you move with less pain and greater control. Everyone who books a reformer 1-1 with us receives a free pair of our grippy Pilates socks (RRP £10) – essential for safety & comfort on the reformer!

Your Options After Your Initial 1-1
After your first session, we’ll guide you on the best next steps based on your goals, whether that’s building strength, reducing pain, or progressing your Pilates practice.
1. Continue with 1-1 Sessions
If you’d benefit from more personalised support, we offer discounted treatment packages:
- 3 x 45 minute sessions for £159
- 6 x 45 minute sessions for £300
These are ideal if you’re working towards specific goals or want consistent, tailored 1-1 support.
2. Combine Reformer with Matwork Pilates
Many clients enjoy the best of both worlds. If you’d like to continue with a monthly 1-1 alongside regular mat classes, our Wellness Memberships offer great value and structure.
3. Monthly 1-1 at the Best Value
If you know you’d like regular 1-1 support, our appointment subscriptions are the most cost-effective way to commit to 1 or 2 sessions per month.
4. Progress to Small Group Reformer Classes
If you’re ready to move into a more social setting, our small, welcoming reformer classes are a fantastic next step. You’ll still receive expert guidance, with the added motivation of a supportive group environment:
Small Group Reformer Classes
Looking to move into a class setting? Then we’d love to have your in our small, supportive Reformer classes with a maximum of 4 people, every:
- Monday, Wednesday & Friday
- 12pm and 1pm
A 1-1 Reformer session is required before joining a class, so you feel confident with the equipment and exercises and can get the most out of the group sessions.
If you’re already a member of our Pilates community, a 6 session pack is £89, and for non-members £100 (class packs have a 12 week expiry).
