A new "state-of-the-art", £100,000 Reformer pilates studio is coming to the Everyone Active leisure centre in Hitchin.
The Reformer's Studio will be the first across Everyone Active’s 230 sites nationwide and follows the company’s recent appointment to manage North Herts Council’s leisure facilities from April 2024.
What is Reformer pilates?
Performed on a Reformer machine rather than a mat, Reformer Pilates is a different type of exercise and is growing in popularity. - with celebrities hailing its body conditioning benefits and accessibility.
A £100,000 investment has been made to build the Reformer studio, the first upgrade at Hitchin leisure centre, with a full gym refurbishment due to take place next spring.
Cllr Mick Debenham, North Herts Council’s executive member for leisure, said: “We are thrilled to see Everyone Active bringing such an innovative and sought-after fitness option to Hitchin.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for residents to enjoy the benefits of Reformer Pilates, and we’re eager to see how this offering will contribute to the wellbeing of our community.”
Further improvement works at Hitchin Swimming and Fitness Centre include the £200,000 refurbishment of two studios and the introduction of a brand-new spin studio, complete with 21 Kieser exercise bikes and audio-visual dynamics.
Mark Leahy, Everyone Active’s regional contract manager across North Herts, said: “At Everyone Active, we are delighted to be launching the company’s first ever Reformer studio at Hitchin Swimming and Fitness Centre.
“As one of the industry’s fastest-growing initiatives, we are excited to open the studio doors and welcome the local community to try Reform sessions for themselves, either as an addition to their established workout regime or as a way to kickstart their fitness journey.
“Reformer machines can both add resistance, making sessions more intense or assist the user if they struggle with high-intensity movement or are recovering from an injury, making it the ideal exercise for those of all ages and abilities.”
The new Reformer studio at Hitchin will be opened at a grand launch event later this month with details to be announced soon.
