“Not having done exercise for 5+ years and being new to reformer pilates, I felt slightly apprehensive. Hollie created such a welcoming atmosphere and made everyone feel comfortable.”

Testimonial from the studio website
Oldswinford and Hagley
What Malibu is
Nine reformers. Nine people.
Classes are capped at nine, so the instructor sets your machine up, watches your form and gives you modifications. That is the whole reason it works for people who have never done it.
The owners are the instructors.
Millie and Hollie own Malibu and teach here. Members name their instructor by first name in almost every review, which is not something you can say about a chain.
Built wider than it looks.
There is a beginners class, a men-only class, a mum and baby class, and sessions for over-50s. Whoever you assume this room is for, it is broader than that.
Never done it before?
What reformer Pilates actually is
No jargon and no prior experience needed. Here is what the machine is, and what fifty minutes on one feels like.
The machine
A reformer is a sprung bed with a carriage that slides on rails. The springs add resistance when you push out and support when you come back, which is why it suits people who are not strong yet.
A class here
Fifty minutes, nine people, one instructor. You work standing, seated and lying on the carriage, and the instructor sets your springs and gives you an easier or harder option on every move.
What it changes
Posture, mobility, core strength, balance and coordination. It is low impact, so it does not beat your joints up on the way.
Why people find it easier than they expect
The springs take some of your bodyweight, so movements that are hard on a mat become manageable. Members regularly describe it as challenging but accessible.
Reformer or mat?
Mat Pilates is the same method on the floor, using your own bodyweight. Reformer adds the spring resistance and the support. We run reformer at Oldswinford, and infrared mat Pilates, Barre and Yoga at our Hagley studio.
Two studios, one roster
Our classes
Six reformer classes at Oldswinford, plus infrared mat Pilates, Barre and Yoga at Hagley. Every reformer class runs fifty minutes and is capped at nine people.

Our space
Cream, oak and backlit mirrors in Oldswinford. Deep red walls and infrared panels in Hagley. The two rooms look nothing alike, on purpose.

Justine's first class
Justine had not exercised in years when she booked her first class. She describes it as very relaxed, no shouting instructions, and says the fifty minutes went by in a blink of an eye.
She left having already booked two more classes, with her daughter coming with her the next time and a friend joining after that.
“My first time exercising in soooo long! What a joy. The studio is so light & airy. It was very relaxed, no shouting instructions.”
- Justine H., first class March 2026
