Hen party Pilates in London: a KARVE class for your party only
A hen party at KARVE is a 50-minute Transformer Pilates class run privately for your group — eight or more of you, one instructor, the studio floor to yourselves — at Kensington, Chelsea or Victoria, followed by the KARVE Café. One person books online and the studio arranges the time.
What the hour looks like
It is a KARVE class — the same Transformer, the same music, the same format — but the room is only your party. The instructor sets every machine, demonstrates each movement and gives options throughout, so the friend who trains four times a week and the one who has never seen a reformer do the same class at their own levels. Expect to laugh, and expect to feel it the next day.
Group sizes and what to buy
For eight or more, buy the Private Group Class on private-sessions/buy for your chosen studio — it is sold online at all three and priced per session for the whole group, so one person pays and the party splits it. For three or four of you, the 3-to-1 and 4-to-1 Private Sessions are the right fit; for five, six or seven, send an enquiry with your numbers and the studio will tell you what it can arrange. The semi-private guide covers every shared format.
Arranging the date
After checkout you are given the studio’s WhatsApp link. Send the dates and times that work for the party, how many of you there are and whether anyone is new to the machine, and the studio confirms the appointment. The class is private, so it does not appear on the public schedule and nobody needs their own account to attend.
What to wear, and after
Close-fitting kit and grip socks — required in every class and available to buy at the studio on the day. Afterwards, the KARVE Café at every studio does coffee, matcha and protein shakes, so the party has a table to go to. Our beginners page is worth forwarding to anyone who has not been on a reformer before.
Who it’s for
The daytime activity
A class before lunch or the evening — fifty minutes that everyone can do.
A smaller party
Three or four of you with one coach, or an enquiry for five to seven.
A birthday or a leaving do
The same private class works for any group that would rather do something.

Frequently asked questions
Can you host a hen party at KARVE?
Yes. The Private Group Class is a 50-minute Transformer Pilates class run privately for eight or more people at Kensington, Chelsea or Victoria. One person buys it online and the studio arranges the time with you.
How much does a hen party class cost?
The Private Group Class is priced per session for the whole group; the live price is shown on this page and on the private-sessions buy page, and it is the same at every London studio.
What if some of the party have never done Pilates?
That is normal. The instructor sets every machine, demonstrates each movement and gives options, so beginners and regulars do the same class at their own levels. Grip socks are required and available in studio.
What if we are fewer than eight?
Three or four of you can book the 3-to-1 or 4-to-1 Private Session online. For five, six or seven, send an enquiry with your numbers and preferred studio and the team will tell you what they can arrange.
Does everyone need a KARVE account?
No. The class is booked as one appointment by the person who buys it; the rest of the party simply turns up at the arranged time.
