The original and proud pioneer of dynamic reformer Pilates, Bootcamp Pilates, offers a range of fitness classes in Richmond.

Bootcamp Pilates has transformed the Reformer Pilates market since its origin in 2005; with its state of the art equipment, elite trainers and diverse class timetable.

The team works from a beautiful studio on the 1st Floor, 4 Red Lion Street, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, TW9 1RW.

Dubbed 'The People's Pilates' because of its inclusive nature; it welcomes everyone whatever their shape, size and ability.

Dominique brought the concept over to London from California and it instantly became a big hit, taking its place at the forefront of fitness in the UK.

It has proved popular with clients from all walks of life from fitness fanatics, off-duty mums and desk-bound workaholics to big name celebrities such as Annie Lennox, Emma Watson and Abbey Clancy.

Dominique said: "Our workouts differ from traditional gym ones as they don't bulk up muscle and you get a gorgeous Pilates body as seen with Abbey.

"The legs and limbs are leaner and longer – but ultimately that's down to the strength of the core."

With over 250 movements, Bootcamp Pilates is the most varied and dynamic luxe fitness offering that produces significant results.

Classes focus on flexibility, coordination and balance to leave you fitter, leaner and stronger.
