REFORMER PILATES CLASSES | E1, E8 & SE17
Tempo 301 offers Reformer Pilates classes in London across our studios in Shoreditch, Hackney and Elephant & Castle, with progressive class levels designed to challenge you as your strength, control and confidence grow.
Our signature Tempo Pilates method combines controlled, precise movement with carefully structured programming and curated music. Classes are kept small, with just 11–12 Reformers, giving our highly trained instructors the opportunity to provide individual guidance and corrections throughout your workout.
If you’re completely new to Reformer Pilates, you can start with our dedicated Beginner class or L1, depending on your experience and confidence. L1 is suitable for beginners who are ready to learn the foundations in a progressive group setting. More experienced students can continue through L2 and L3, or add Jumpboard classes for a different challenge.
With over 16 years of experience teaching Reformer Pilates in London, our approach is built around progression rather than simply making every class harder. You’ll develop strength, core control, mobility and coordination while continuing to challenge your body as your practice develops.
Beginner Reformer Pilates
Beginner Reformer Pilates classes at Tempo 301 are designed for new students to the Tempo Pilates method or Pilates in general. These Reformer Pilates classes will teach you our core repertoire and allow you to learn the Tempo Pilates method with other newcomers at a slightly slower pace.

L1 Reformer Pilates | Beginner / Intermediate
L1 – Tempo Pilates introduces you to the foundations of the Tempo Pilates method and our core repertoire. You’ll work through controlled, music-led exercises designed to build strength, core control, coordination and confidence on the Reformer.
Suitable for beginners as well as those with previous Reformer experience who are new to Tempo 301, L1 gives you the technique and understanding you’ll need to progress to our more advanced levels.
L2 Reformer Pilates | Intermediate
L2 – Tempo Pilates builds on the strength, control and technique developed in L1 classes, introducing more challenging exercises and progressions from the Tempo Pilates repertoire.
With less demonstration and a stronger focus on precision and control, L2 is designed for students who are confident with the Tempo Pilates method and ready to progress their practice. If you already have Reformer experience but are new to Tempo 301, we recommend taking at least one L1 class first.
L3 Reformer Pilates | Advanced
L3 – Up–Tempo Pilates classes are just under an hour of unapologetic, “tough love”. These Pilates workouts challenge your core, flexibility, stamina and overall body strength to their maximum capacity. The focus is more on control, concentration and precision. In return, you’ll build greater strength and endurance while continuing to progress your Reformer Pilates practice.
Jumpboard Reformer Pilates
Tempo Pilates offers three progressive Jumpboard levels designed to support your Pilates journey. L1 introduces the Tempo method and core repertoire at a controlled pace to build technique and confidence. L2 increases the intensity with more advanced exercises and fewer pauses to challenge your strength and stamina. L3 is our Up Tempo level, delivering a high-energy, full-body workout for those ready to push their limits. Jumpboard combines the Reformer with low-impact plyometric and aerobic movements for a powerful, heart-raising experience, with structured levels that ensure safe progression and consistent challenge.
*Please note that Jumpboard classes are not suitable for pregnant students.
