Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on balance, posture, strength and flexibility. Reformer Pilates is a full-body, low-impact workout that uses a specialised machine (sometimes called a bed) with a sliding carriage and springs to add adjustable resistance and support to traditional Pilates exercises.
Rise and Reform, which already operates from studios in Doncaster and Barnsley, has been hard at work over the last few months on its new Rotherham premises at Stag roundabout.
The new studio is next door to where the operator of the Roadhouse Bar & Bottles has secured a change of use to create a wine and cocktail bar with a function room on the first floor. Next to its existing premises on Wickersley Road, the unit was previously home to the Paws to Hooves pet shop before it relocated to Wickersley.
The rest of the first floor, formerly used by the Moorgate Dance Academy, now has a clean and cosy look where experts at Rise and Reform can offer classes designed for all levels, including reformer Pilates and hot Pilates.
A post on social media about this week's opening said: "Rotherham… the wait is officially over! We’re so ready to finally welcome you into our brand new studio. We’ve poured so much time and energy into this one. Bigger, better, and cosier than ever. And yes… we now offer HOT Pilates! It’s been on our wish list for such a long time, and we’ve finally built the space to make it happen."
