Absolutely! Our group classes are suitable for all levels — even if you're completely new. We guide you step by step and adapt the exercises to your level.

The best way to start is with our Try-Out: 3 group classes for €59, including grip socks. This is a low-threshold way to get acquainted with Reformer Pilates.

Do you have an injury or are you pregnant? Start with a Private Reformer session for personal guidance. Email hello@refinedmovement.com to make an appointment.

Reformer Pilates is a dynamic form of Pilates that uses specialised equipment, the reformer, to provide resistance and make the exercise more effective. This training helps you build strength, flexibility and balance, while simultaneously improving your focus and posture. It's a great way to promote both your physical and mental wellbeing.

No two experiences are the same. Each session is a full-body Reformer experience, sometimes supplemented with Pilates accessories for extra variety. We work in layers: we start with a basic movement that is accessible to everyone and gradually expand it with options for more depth. This way, every experience remains refined, effective and accessible, for both beginners and advanced practitioners.

We also offer Yin Sensory, a slow, deep experience that takes place entirely on the reformer. This session focuses on release, mobility and calming the nervous system, a moment of softness, awareness and recovery. Yin Sensory can be used as a valuable complement alongside our other experiences.

Wear comfortable workout clothes and bring a bottle of water. Grip socks are required for safety and hygiene — you can easily purchase them in our Shop & Experience.

We also ask you to remove jewellery and hair clips, so that the reformers are not damaged and you can move safely and freely.

On the Reformer Experience Schedule, we indicate after the teacher's name whether the experience is in NL, ENG or NL/ENG. With the latter option, the experience is guided in English as soon as someone is present who does not speak Dutch.

You'll find us at Van Weedestraat 12A, 3761 CE Soest — centrally located and easily accessible.

There is free parking in the blue zone and ample space to park your bike.

Pregnant women are very welcome in our Yin Sensory experiences and in the specially offered pre- and postnatal experiences (even with baby). A separate class card will be available for these pre- and postnatal experiences.

During pregnancy, many reformer exercises are not safe or suitable, and therefore pregnant women cannot participate in the regular experiences. In our pre- and postnatal experiences, all movements are specially adapted to each stage of pregnancy, so you can continue to move safely and responsibly.

Interested? Send an email to hello@refinedmovement.com. With enough registrations, we will add two pre- and postnatal experiences per week, with a maximum of 6 people per experience.

In many cases yes, provided your doctor indicates that you can safely continue to exercise. Let us know beforehand about your injury or discomfort, so we can tailor the experience accordingly and you can keep moving within your limits.

Need more personal guidance? Then our Private Reformer Experience is ideal. Get in touch via hello@refinedmovement.com to discuss the options.

The effect of Reformer Pilates on your weight depends on several factors: your nutrition, your overall activity level and your personal goals. Reformer Pilates does help you create a toned, lean silhouette by building long, lean muscles, improving your posture and strengthening your core. Many people don't see a big change on the scale, but do feel fitter, stronger and more confident.

Many people do indeed get 'addicted' to Reformer Pilates! That's because it's both physically challenging and mentally relaxing. You notice results quickly — better posture, more strength and a more supple body — and that gives satisfaction. Moreover, the variety in exercises and intensity ensures it never gets boring. Honestly? We warn you in advance: you just might get addicted ;-)
