🍂 Colder days. Darker evenings. Same commitment to YOU. 💚

As we head into the winter months, it can be tempting to slow down, stay cosy and put our fitness routines on the back burner.

But remember all those classes you’ve shown up for? The strength you’ve built, the progress you’ve made, and the time you’ve invested in yourself?

Keep that momentum going! 💪

Consistency isn’t about being perfect. It’s about continuing to show up, even when the sofa is calling!

And if summer and autumn have thrown your routine off track, now is a brilliant time to get back into it.

Whether you’re a regular at BOD or you’ve never stepped foot on a Reformer before, there’s a place for you here.

Don’t wait until January to start feeling good.

Keep moving. Keep showing up. Keep doing it for YOU. 💚

If you’ve been to my classes before you will know how much I love Chest Expansion!
There’s a reason I include it in 99% of my Reformer Pilates classes!

It might not be the most exciting exercise on the Reformer, but it’s definitely one of my favourites. And here’s why 👇

💪 Upper body strength – strengthens the muscles around your shoulders and upper back.

🙌 Posture – helps build the strength and awareness needed to support good posture.

🔥 Core stability – your core is working hard to keep you steady while your arms move against the springs.

🫁 Breath control – encourages you to connect your breathing with movement.

✨ Shoulder stability – improves control and strength around your shoulder joints.

And the best bit? It’s suitable for almost everyone, from complete beginners to our more experienced members.

It’s not about big movements or heavy springs. It’s about control, precision and moving with purpose.

So yes, I know you might secretly roll your eyes when I say “grab your straps, we’re doing Chest Expansion!” 😂

But trust me… there’s a method to my madness! 💚

A little Short Box flow 💚

Working through single-leg plank variations, strength, control and balance, finishing with some Swan extension.

And a little movement reality check… watching this back, I can see I’m taking the Swan into a bit too much cervical extension. A good reminder that we’re always learning, refining and improving our own movement too.

Progress, not perfection — even when you’re the one teaching!

It’s been a bit of a whirlwind — and we’re only just getting started.

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey so far.

Meet Diane — the newest member of the BOD team!😀

After 36 years as a Registered Nurse, Diane decided it was time for a new adventure and turned her lifelong love of movement and Pilates into a new career.

With a background in gymnastics and dance, as well as a passion for keeping active, Diane is a strong believer in the power of movement to support flexibility, mobility, strength and overall wellbeing as we get older.

Her experience as a nurse has inspired her to help others make positive, sustainable changes to their health and wellbeing. She is currently studying for a Health Coaching diploma and plans to combine Pilates and health coaching to support people in changing their mindset and making choices that improve their overall health.

When she’s not teaching or studying, you’ll usually find Diane walking, strength training, reading or enjoying time with family and friends.

We’re so excited to have her joining the BOD community. 💚

New to Reformer Pilates? You now have two ways to start at BOD.

Our Intro Offer is perfect if you’d like to try Reformer Pilates, experience different classes and see how BOD fits into your routine.

But if you’re a complete beginner and would prefer a little more structure and guidance, our new 4-Week Reformer Foundations Course might be for you.

Over four consecutive weeks, you’ll learn alongside the same small group, giving you time to:

• Get comfortable using the Reformer
• Learn the key movements and terminology
• Understand how to adjust the equipment safely
• Build strength and confidence progressively
• Ask questions and learn without feeling rushed

Each week builds on the last, so rather than feeling like you need to “keep up”, you’ll have time to understand how and why we move.

By the end of the four weeks, our aim is for you to feel confident stepping into our regular Begin & Flow classes and continuing your Reformer journey at BOD.

And you won’t miss out on our Intro Offer — you can still use the 3-class Intro Offer after completing Foundations to experience more of our regular timetable.

📅 Starts Monday 19 October
⏰ 9:30–10:20am
👥 Maximum 8 people
💷 £89 for all four weeks

Never tried Reformer before? This is exactly who we created it for.

Because sometimes the best way to start isn’t to jump straight in — it’s to learn the foundations first. 💚
