Start Pilates in London: your first class at KARVE
You do not need experience, flexibility or the right body — just fifty minutes. KARVE’s Transformer Pilates classes are instructor-led, low-impact and built for first-timers, at three London studios. This page covers what a first class is like, how to choose a studio, and the two offers that make the first step the cheapest one.
What a first class is actually like
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 instructor sets up your machine, demonstrates each movement and gives options throughout, so you work at the level that suits you on the day.
The Transformer is a reformer-style machine: a sliding carriage, springs for resistance, straps and a platform. Everything is slow and controlled, which is what makes it low-impact and what makes it hard. Expect to feel it the next day.
Why KARVE rather than a gym
Most fitness plans fail because they rely on willpower alone. A KARVE class is a booked appointment with an instructor and a room, not a vague intention to go; the format is fixed at fifty minutes; and the studios in Kensington, Chelsea and Victoria are places people want to be in, with a café at each.
How to start
Choose one of the two first-purchase offers below — the prices are live from our booking system — create your account at checkout, then book your first class from the schedule. Everything else a first-timer needs to know, from what to wear to which format to pick, is on our beginners page.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need any Pilates experience to start at KARVE?
No. The Classic class is designed for anyone seeking a challenge, every class is led by a certified KARVE instructor who sets up the Transformer and coaches each movement, and the beginners page covers what to wear and when to arrive.
What should I wear to my first class?
Close-fitting, sweat-wicking kit and grip socks, which are required in every class and available to buy in studio. Arrive 10–15 minutes early so the team can check you in and show you the room.
Which studio should I start at?
Whichever is easiest to get to regularly — Kensington on the high street, Chelsea on the King’s Road or Victoria by the station. Your classes work at every London club, so you can move between them.
Which offer should I choose?
The pass suits someone who can come several times in its window and wants to build the habit fast; the pack suits someone who prefers to spread three classes over a few weeks. Both are first-purchase only and both are priced below the usual per-class rate.
How do I book a class once I have bought an offer?
Your classes appear on your KARVE account straight after checkout. Open the schedule, pick a studio and a time, and book; you can manage or change bookings from your account or the KARVE Club app.
Your first class is the cheapest one.
Two first-purchase offers, priced below the usual per-class rate, valid at every London club.
