Two friends ordering shakes together at the KARVE Café counter

Galentine’s Day · 13 February

Galentine’s Day in London: a KARVE class with your friends

Better than brunch: book the same 50-minute Transformer Pilates class as your friends at Kensington, Chelsea or Victoria, then take over a table at the KARVE Café. A gift card makes it a present; the schedule makes it a plan.

  • Two friends sharing KARVE Café shakes at the counter after class
  • Two members training side by side on KARVE Transformers during a class
  • Two KARVE Café shakes, ready for after class

How to do it

Pick a class on the schedule that suits everyone, and each of you books with your own credits or membership, subject to spaces. If a friend is new to KARVE, the first-timer offers on our beginners page are the lowest-cost way in, or give her a gift card below and she books from her own account.

Afterwards, the KARVE Café at every studio does coffee, matcha and protein shakes — a better table than most brunch places, and no queue.

What a friend actually receives

Every KARVE class is 50 minutes of Transformer Pilates — high-intensity training and low-impact Pilates on the KARVE Transformer, in a small group, led by a certified KARVE instructor. The gift card covers a class pack of your choice, and the prices below are live from our booking system.

The gift card is emailed directly to the recipient after purchase. The recipient gets the classes on their KARVE account to book at any UK KARVE club — Kensington, Chelsea or Victoria. They never expire.

If a friend is new to Pilates

No experience is needed. The Classic class is designed for anyone seeking a challenge, and the instructor sets up the Transformer and talks the room through each movement. Our beginners page covers what to wear — close-fitting, sweat-wicking kit and grip socks — and suggests arriving 10–15 minutes early to check in.

Choosing the studio

You do not have to. Every gift card works at all three London clubs, so the recipient picks the one that fits their week — Kensington on the high street, Chelsea on the King’s Road, or Victoria by the station.

Frequently asked questions

Can a group of friends book the same KARVE class together?

Yes. Each person books the same session from the online schedule with their own credits or membership, subject to spaces. Spaces are limited, so book early for a popular slot.

Is a KARVE class suitable for a friend who has never done Pilates?

Yes. The Classic class is designed for anyone seeking a challenge, the instructor sets up the Transformer and coaches every movement, and going with a friend makes the first class easier still. Grip socks are required and available in studio.

Which gift card size should I choose?

A single class is the gentlest introduction; a larger pack is for someone who already trains or has been meaning to start properly. Every size is shown above at today’s price, straight from our booking system, and all of them work at every London club.

Which studios can the recipient use the gift card at?

Any UK KARVE club — Kensington, Chelsea and Victoria. The classes sit on the recipient’s KARVE account and they choose where and when to book.

How is a KARVE gift card delivered?

It is a digital gift card. Add the recipient’s name and email address at checkout, with an optional message, and the gift card is emailed directly to them after purchase. There is nothing to post or collect.
