Meet the KARVE Instructors
In short: every KARVE class in London is taught by an instructor certified in Transformer Pilates™ — our proprietary method, taught nowhere else.
Each trainer completes KARVE’s own certification before leading a class in Kensington, Chelsea or Victoria, and brings their own background in Pilates, strength or movement. Select any instructor to see their story, speciality and classes.

KARVE instructors — frequently asked
Are KARVE instructors qualified?+
Every KARVE class in London is led by an instructor who has completed KARVE’s own certification in Transformer Pilates before teaching, and each brings their own background in Pilates, strength or movement.
What is Transformer Pilates and who is trained to teach it?+
Transformer Pilates is KARVE’s own method, taught on a reformer-style machine with a sliding carriage and adjustable spring resistance. It is taught only at KARVE, by instructors certified in the method.
Can I book a class with a specific instructor?+
Yes — the class timetable lists the instructor for each session, so you can book by teacher as well as by time and studio.
Do the same instructors teach at Kensington, Chelsea and Victoria?+
Instructors teach across the three London studios rather than being fixed to one, and the timetable shows who is teaching where on any given day.
Will an instructor help me if I have never used a reformer before?+
Yes. First-timers get a short machine introduction before the class starts, and resistance and range are adjusted by you throughout, so beginners and experienced members train in the same class.
