APPARATUS PILATES CLASSES IN BRISTOL

APPARATUS PILATES

Pilates was originally designed as a complete system - with different pieces of apparatus working together to build strength, mobility and mind-body connection - but very few studios in the UK offer this full apparatus experience.

In our Apparatus classes, you'll use the famous Reformer alongside the Trapeze Table, Wunda Chair, Ladder Barrel, Standing Springs and Mat.

Working in six-week arcs that you can join at any time, our classes are led by one of our expert teachers in a small group (7 people max). 

This way, you can progressively master each exercise and deepen your technical understanding week after week.

Whether you're a new or experienced mover, our apparatus method will help you transform your Pilates practise and build a deeper kind of strength.  
Available at our Queen's Square studio, plus limited classes at our Paintworks studio.

GET STARTED

To join our Apparatus classes, you need to have completed a minimum of one 1:1 session or three Reformer classes before (unless you've already tried apparatus classes with another studio).
​
Choose one of our intro offers to get started, each gives you access to all three Soul Pilates studios (BS1, BS4, BS7).
APPARATUS PILATES: FOUNDATIONS (Level 1)
Your intro to the full apparatus experience.
A structured, supportive environment where beginners can develop strong foundations and experienced movers can refine fundamentals.

In this small-group class (maximum of 7 clients), you’ll be introduced to the full range of apparatus: Reformer, Trapeze Table, Chair, Ladder Barrel and Mat, learning how each one works with your body to build strength, alignment and control.

Expect progressive layering and expert guidance that helps you deepen your Pilates practice, feel progress, and explore the full apparatus experience at your own pace.

​To join this class, you need to have completed at least one 1:1 session or three reformer classes before (unless you've already tried apparatus classes with another studio).
APPARATUS PILATES: INTEGRATION (Level 2) 
Integrate what you've learned.
Now that you’ve built the foundations, this class weaves them together into a more connected, full-body experience.

Working across all apparatus, you’ll explore how each piece of equipment challenges your body in different ways: building strength, mobility, and mind-body connection.
​
This is where the Pilates system starts to feel like one complete method: breath, core, strength, and control working together to create balanced, functional movement that supports you beyond the studio.​

To attend these classes you need to have done at least two Foundations (Level 1) classes or at least one 1:1 session.
APPARATUS PILATES: PROGRESSION (Level 3)
​Where it all comes together.  
With time, you'll be ready for our most advanced class, designed to take you beyond technique and into mastery.

You’ll move fluidly between the Reformer, Trapeze Table, Chair, Ladder Barrel, Standing Springs and Mat, using the full system in creative, challenging, and deeply rewarding ways.

This is where Pilates becomes incredibly fun, and where all the preparation from earlier classes pays off as you experience the Pilates system at its most dynamic, expressive, and empowering.

The best way to know when you’re ready to join this class is to speak with your teacher. They are in the best position to assess your level and guide you.
