Let’s get upper body strong 💪 . We want to go as heavy as possible without compromising form and there are a few little tricks to enable this.

If a persons bodyweight on the carriage is limiting how much resistance they can push or pull then find ways to anchor them, so you can keep encouraging appropriate progressive overload.

This 20 min class features on the PwZ App.
Head to ‘latest releases’ and hit ‘Reformer Upper Body Strong’.

After a somewhat overwhelming response to the post about my reformer garden studio, I thought I’d dedicate one to answering some of your questions.

It seems many of you either have your own garden studios or you are thinking of investing in one. I can honestly say it was the best business decision have ever made. I may have done a few things differently in retrospect (perhaps another post on this!) but on the whole the studio has paid for itself many times over.

No rent
No commute
No landlord
All on my terms
All within my own space

The studio comfortably accommodates 5 reformers and the sitting boxes.

Most are low to the ground to allow for low ceiling height. One is on legs for clients who may struggle to get up and down.

Ceiling height was stipulated by permitted development rules. No higher than 2.5m. Check permitted dev regs in your area.

The ceiling slopes down from 2.2m at its highest point to 2m at lowest. It’s a little restrictive when standing and raising arms overhead. Other than that we make it work.

The build cost around £26k in 2018, this didn’t include painting, mirrors or aircon, they came later.

This really could be a possibility for 2027…

Imagine waking up on the first morning in your luxurious, timber-clad en-suite bedroom.

You throw open the curtains and are greeted by the jaw-dropping splendour of the French Alps in springtime.

Lush green valleys waiting to be explored on foot, with majestic snow-capped mountains stretching across the horizon.

Your days are filled with reformer Pilates, mountain hikes, restorative massages, saunas and hot tubs — designed to both invigorate and restore.

And, of course, the very best of French food and w**e. 🇫🇷🥂

This is more than a retreat. It’s a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, reconnect with yourself and experience the Alps in all their springtime glory.

Want to be part of it?

Comment ALPS below and I’ll ping form to add your name to the waitlist and you’ll be the first to hear about any earlybird offers.

If you have time please answer the few short questions included so I can find out a little more about you, and make this retreat feel extra special and bespoke to you.

Just a few months ago I was ready to move out of my lovely garden studio and set up in a premises on our high street. Things didn’t go to plan and while I felt terribly disappointed at the time, I can’t help but count my blessings.

Undoubtedly life right now would have been quite different had it gone ahead.

Holidays on hold, doubling my teaching AND admin hours, obsessing over every penny.

Instead I’ve enjoyed mini breaks with friends, more time with family, reduced my hours over the summer, tried out new class concepts, paid for my son’s first car and generally enjoyed these seemingly endlessly days of sunshine on my own terms.

If the opportunity came up again would I take it?
Right at this moment, very undecided.
