Reformer Personal Training in London
Personal training on a reformer rather than in a weights room. KARVE private sessions pair a dedicated coach with the Transformer — resistance-based, low-impact and programmed entirely around you.
What reformer personal training is
It is personal training in structure — one coach, one client — carried out on the KARVE Transformer rather than with free weights. Resistance comes from the machine, which means the load is adjustable in fine increments and the movement stays low-impact.
For most people that combination is easier to sustain than heavy barbell work, without giving up the progression that makes training worth doing.
How the training is shaped
Coaching is adapted to your goals, fitness level and availability. Each session has a focus, and the coach adjusts within it based on what they see on the day.
Load, tempo and range are set for one person rather than a room, which is what lets the training move at a pace that suits you.
Where it happens
At our Kensington, Chelsea and Victoria studios. Sessions take place in a dedicated private room or during selected quieter studio hours. We confirm which applies at your club, and the times available, when we reply to your enquiry.

Frequently asked questions
Is reformer personal training the same as a private Pilates session?
At KARVE they are the same thing: a one-to-one session with a coach on the Transformer, with coaching adapted to your goals, fitness level and availability.
How is it different from a personal trainer in a gym?
The structure is the same — one coach, one client. The training is done on a resistance machine rather than with free weights, which keeps it low-impact and makes load changes finer.
Where in London can I train?
Kensington, Chelsea and Victoria.
What does it cost?
Private-session packages are being finalised, so there is nothing to buy online yet. Enquire and we will talk through the options and let you know as soon as packages go live.
Can I combine it with classes?
