Absolute Studios Kensal Rise: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I was just starting Pilates again, and I felt so supported from the very first class. The teacher explained everything so clearly and made it easy to follow, which really helped me feel at ease. The space itself is lovely — clean, calm, and welcoming. Over the few weeks I attended, I truly felt encouraged and cared for. It’s a beautiful place to return to your practice.
Fantastic experience: Love love love this space! I had no idea about just how beneficial reformer Pilates is before starting at Absolute 2 years ago. I have become so much stronger and flexible, and though I’ve always been very active, I've gained a much deeper understanding of my body. The instructors are all incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, and all "go up and beyond" to make sure you get the most out of the exercises. The space is gorgeous too - with a view to treetops changing throughout the seasons of the year, while each instructor har their own music “signature”, adding to the diversity of classes on offer. Nothing better than starting the week with a bit of Disco Monday morning, or ending it with some cool afro-beats on a Friday ;-) But maybe what I appreciate the most about Absolute Kensal Rise is the feeling of being in an inclusive and accommodating environment, where there is no pretentiousness or expectations: just a very lovely, laid-back mood - with some seriously good and efficient workouts. Thank you team Absolute :-)
Fantastic experience: I really enjoy my. classes- now gone up to 2-3 times per week. All teachers are excellent and different- so try all.
Fantastic experience: Another fantastic class with Vinnie who is a brilliant teacher who encourages us all to hone our practice . All delivered with passion, knowledge and a great playlist. I
Fantastic experience: Love Absolute, today I had a mobility class with Gaby which was like meditation in motion. Came out like a new man. Thanks Gaby!
Fantastic experience: Great class, great instructor
Fantastic experience: I'm a newbie to reformer pilates, but have been going regularly for 3 months now and has really seen a different in my physique, the trainers at Kensal rise are all friendly approachable and take time to check in with you. What's interesting is with each week I do it, I'm learning about my body, facia, muscles and where I'm tight or need to build strength, my aim to keep good mobility for the future now I'm in my 50's.
Fantastic experience: Lovely studios, perfect for my first time!
Fantastic experience: Jaime, Gurdev, Natalie, Vinny, Anser… Mobility, Beginner, Intermediate… all great instructors, all great classes I’ve done at Kensal Rise. Each class has its own style. By now I’ve been to many classes, and my body (and brain) have been happy at the end of 100% of the classes I’ve taken. Definitely recommend, whether you’re just starting out or you’re looking for a new studio.
Fantastic experience: I have recently started reformer classes with Absolute Studios. Anser is an excellent instructor, the classes are energising and challenging.Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic experience with my first 3 classes here. Had never done it before! They talked me Through everything and even though it was a group class I felt very comfortable. I instantly saw results and can't wait to get back in the studio! Lovely Changing room too and everything was spotless. Bring on my six pack!
Fantastic experience: Incredible studio with amazing instructors who really guide you through the class and most importantly, make sure your form is correct to really challenge yourself!
Fantastic experience: Absolute studios in both Kensal and Queens Park are truly excellent. ALL the amazing instructors who have not only changed me physically but help me mentally - the community feeling is everything, staff are welcoming, it's a safe and friendly environment and gorgeous, clean studios to boot! It has saved me and since having back surgery is the ONE constant in my life! So happy and grateful it's on my doorstep.
Fantastic experience: I’m so excited to have joined this great community- loving the studio and thanks to Connie for being a brilliant teacher!! Mathew Soobroy
Fantastic experience: I’ve started going to classes at Absolute Studios as a total beginner to reformer Pilates and have loved it! The Kensal Rise space is really lovely and all the instructors have been fantastic, correcting my form and teaching the basics but not making me feel like a total novice. I already feel more confident with my ability after only a few classs and will definitely continue to attend, highly recommend for anyone wanting to get into it.
Fantastic experience: Really gorgeous, intimate studio and knowledgable instructors!
Fantastic experience: Great boutique reformer Pilates studio. With friendly staff and classes that will get you in shape.
Fantastic experience: Always brilliant classes at Absolute. Great equipment, and always varied classes
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love my classes here. The instructors are incredibly friendly and informative- would highly recommend !
Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience with first time pilates here! The instructors are so nice. Lovely place.
Fantastic experience: Love this place. It’s the first Pilates studio i have been to where I haven’t been in pain from my back after the class. You come out feeling satisfyingly exhausted and more toned. Even after 2 sessions i could feel the improvement in core stability and was walking taller. The teachers are energetic and make sure you use the equipment correctly. Great music too. Wish I could go everyday.
Fantastic experience: I love all my classes at Absolute. Whether I've got the need to be pushed and stretched out or a need for a gentle wind down and lengthening after a stressful week, I've got my favourite instructors who always bring what you need to the bench! Absolute reformer classes have become a vital part of my mental health and wellbeing this year.
Fantastic experience: Great studio and teachers. They have taught me throughout both of my pregnancies and postpartum. I feel very safe and the teachers are very knowledgeable. Nice atmosphere as well.
Fantastic experience: I'm glad I found Reformers. It's the whole body strengthening, stretching and balancing that I need. Jaime's a great teacher, and gets me to work my body harder than I would if left to my own motivation. And when I walk out of the studio, a sweaty, loose-limbed mess, I can look forward to a beer, fully justified. Cheers.
Fantastic experience: welcoming staff, relaxed safe enviroment.
Fantastic experience: Lovely studio! Giada is super nice :)
Fantastic experience: Today was my 50th class at Absolute and I couldn’t recommend the studio enough. I had never done reformer when I started and really appreciated the small class sizes that allow for individual guidance. I no longer have any back pain since starting regular classes. Big shout out to Giada who’s class I have done every week and who has helped me feel confident and strong exercising throughout pregnancy. Thank you :)
Fantastic experience: Really enjoying my classes at Absolute. all the instructors have a different flavour and the classes are small so there is lot's of focus on the individual client. Love it!
Fantastic experience: Absolute in Kensal Rise is a lovely welcoming reformer studio! I never fail to leave Jaime’s class feeling anything but great! Jaime always brings a positive energy to the class, is supportive of any areas you want to work on and offers variations to challenge and push you in a really good way! I’d highly recommend one of her classes!
Fantastic experience: I've been to classes at both Absolute Kensal Rise & Queens Park and couldn't have enjoyed each of them more. They keep classes small which allows the instructors to take time and care with each client, I especially like that they ask every person if there's something they'd like to concentrate on at the beginning of each class. The spaces are incredibly clean & calm and the classes are excellent. Couldn't recommend it more.
Fantastic experience: Great teachers, really enjoy the Reformer classes with Jaime and Bethany!
Fantastic experience: Great facilities and excellent teachers. I always feel in safe hands. I had a class with Jaime again today, she listens to any issues you have with your body that day and adapts the class accordingly.
Fantastic experience: Absolute studios has helped me with consistent progression and muscle building. Although I would attend classes with two different trainers, my progression is not hindered and instead they compliment each other. The space is nice, glad for smaller groups and little sense of community.
Fantastic experience: I've been coming to pilates for many years and thoroughly enjoy it. Classes can be challenging but rewarding at the same time. Always look forward to Natalie's classes. I like the fact that she always checks in with us and works on areas we need to improve on.
Fantastic experience: My favourite studio! Really friendly, high quality instructors and a great intimate space, I love coming every week. Couldn’t recommend more highly ⭐️
Fantastic experience: I Absolutely love Absolute. I started going to the Kensal Rise studio back in February and since Queens Park opened, I’ve been rotating between both and love them. The classes are challenging and the coaches are always attentive to your needs and requirements. It’s even a great place to start for those who haven’t tried reformer pilates before, as they have beginners classes that are hard enough to get you motivated, but you won’t die trying. This is my fourth month with my membership I believe, and still going strong! Bonus: abs + glutes work are on point
Fantastic experience: Peachy in every way!
Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Reformer classes at Absolute Kensal Rise since it opened and highly recommend it if you want smaller classes and teacher feedback. I like the variety of teachers, different classes and easy booking system Keeping it local! Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I bought the intro offer to try a few different beginner classes. The instructors are all excellent in motivating you, assisting and correcting as needed and also just such fun! Alexis was especially helpful in my enquiries. I loved it and now come regularly as I’m able to see progress already. I’m not a gym person and this is the one workout I’m enjoying and finding challenging. I feel muscles I never noticed. Would highly recommend a try if you haven’t tried reformer yet.
Fantastic experience: I love doing reformer pilates at Absolute Kensal Rise. All the instructors are super-knowledgable, caring and careful. Some sessions are easier than others but they all leave me with the feeling that I've done something really good for my mind and body. And all I have to do is keep showing up...
Fantastic experience: Lovely bright and airy studio not too far from Kensal Rise station. I’ve tried reformer at a few studios now and Absolute is definitely the best. The instructors I have had pay attention to correct form and explain the different movements really well! I have had 5 classes here now and will definitely be back!
Fantastic experience: lovely class and instruction. They really take their time to help you. Will definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: The trial classes are super convenient and a great way to ascertain whether this is right for you. I've had 6 classes so far with 4 teachers and loved each single one. I'm afraid Absolute Studios is fastly getting me addicted to Reformer Pilates. Help! .
Fantastic experience: lovely studio!
Fantastic experience: Great teachers, super nice atmosphere. I love it!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic Pilates studio in Kensal Rise. A great variety of skilled and experienced teachers with very flexible and accommodating staff at reception
Fantastic experience: I LOVE Absolute Studios in Kensal Green! I have a Silver Membership and attend 2/3 classes per week. Since joining I have become stronger and more flexible and this is increasing all the time. I recently moved to the area and AS has really helped me settle in and I feel part of the community. The instructors are highly professional and incredibly friendly. The booking app is great as well. Can’t recommend enough. Thanks AS!
Fantastic experience: New and beautiful studio with excellent classes and instructors, highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Did the three pack trial and really enjoyed it - recommend this as it can take a class or two to get into it. The beginner classes can vary in intensity so go at your own pace when needed!
Positive experience: The whole experience in Absolute Studios is nearly perfect. Great instructors, charming atmosphere and challenging enough lessons. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Absolute Pilates in Kensal Rise ever since it opened its doors some three years ago. The classes and instructors are fantastic, as are the facilities.
Fantastic experience: One of my favourite studios! All the classes I've been to are great - the instructors are always friendly and the classes are really good

Fantastic experience: Love this local studio. All the instructors are friendly and welcoming. Class sizes are about 8 people so you really get a personal approach as they can really help you. E
Fantastic experience: Reformer is Revolutionary!! I was slightly nervous about the concept of Reformer Pilates as I’ve only ever attended floor Pilates. My nerves evaporated when I arrived at Absolute Studios, it’s a little nugget in the heart of Kensal Green. The studio is clean, airy, and bright. Alexis greeted me warmly, Gurdev the instructor is professional with a good sense of humour. As a beginner I found Gurdev patient and knowledgeable about the benefit of each exercise. The Size of the studio enabled him to attend personally to each participant. I never felt like I couldn’t ask a question. The benefit to my body I can feel already, my lower back pain has decreased, and my posture has improved. The team are helpful, and I look forward to more classes. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful space and lovely instructors, my favourite classes are with Jaime and Alexis! <3
Fantastic experience: Best studio around! Incredible instructors and warm inclusive atmosphere. Beautiful bright studio spaces
Fantastic experience: The BEST BEST Pilates in London. Instructors are super attentive, nice small classes, they zoom by. The only exercise I like!
Fantastic experience: I love absolute studios so much! The classes on offer provide a wide variety of teachers, each bringing a unique approach to the reformer. In the past I have often found myself getting complacent in exercise regimes, at absolute the personal small classes allow you to really follow through with fitness goals. The teachers really care and always make themselves available in the sessions to create greater ease without forfeiting challenges and crucial posture work. The location is beautiful, it feels like you can really get away for some time, away from the office and stresses of life . The facilities are super clean, with towels and amazing showers! I’d recommend them to everyone so come on down and start your journey x
Fantastic experience: The best Pilates studio!!! Love the small classes because you get so much focus from the instructors and their attention to detail is a game changer!! Amazing vibes all around everyone is so welcoming and there’s classes for everyone!!! Must try
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to absolute for about 2 months now and haven’t looked back. Having never done Pilates before I was initially anxious about not knowing what I was doing, but the instructors are welcoming and approachable, Alexis was particularly great at explaining the machines. The small classes mean that you get individual advice and assistance during the sessions, and there’s loads of variety between the instructors. I honestly can’t recommend the studio enough, just wish there were more 7.30am beginners classes!
Fantastic experience: Lovely studios and excellent teachers. I feel very lucky I live so close.
Fantastic experience: Love the Beginner class with Anser
Fantastic experience: Fantastic Pilates studio with super friendly team supporting all levels of fitness. First time I enjoy exercise

Fantastic experience: Great experience. Classes are small and instructor is able to assist everyone. Reformer machines are brand new and place is super clean
Fantastic experience: Awesome classes giving a great full body stretch and workout. All the instructors are talented with unique approaches. Will be rushing back!
Fantastic experience: I was looking for something to do physically for a very long time that will turn into a routine. Had Virgin membership but for some reason did not help with motivation and determination. I found Absolute Pilates that is just what was I looking for, amazing studio, with really good effective training coaches and my body loves it
Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor who really took the time with me. I was quite nervous at the start as it was my first time, but she made me feel at ease. Great workout with lots of variety!
Fantastic experience: I visited Absolute Studios for the first time today and had such an amazing class. Great welcome, atmosphere and class led by Vinny, thank you!
Fantastic experience: Vinny was a great instructor, very knowledgable in my problem area and knew exactly how to help guide me, I'm looking forward to signing up to a monthly membership!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to absolute studios for 2 months and it has been life changing. From having severe hip pain stopping me from running, moving and getting active, to now I can happily run, swim and cycle again, all down to the brilliant work of the teachers at Absolute. The improvements I have felt in my stability and strength (especially the glutes) means I have never felt better. The instructures are knowledgeable, love what they do and create a great atmosphere - especially Anser who gives the toughest but most rewarding sessions. My husband now comes and friends I have recommended. Could not speak more highly.
Fantastic experience: Absolute Pilates was incredible. I hadn’t been to a Pilates class in a long time and felt really supported throughout the class. Anser is a powerful teacher even at the beginners stage. I Have joined with a monthly membership it was that good.
We are delighted to hear you enjoyed class, looking forward to welcoming you back very soon, Team Absolute
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at Absolute since they arrived in Kensal Rise. Fabulous team, and awesome classes with a great mix of styles ensuring there is a class suited to everybody. I love them!
Fantastic experience: Great class and studio, the instructor was very sweet and makes you feel at home :). I will be trying their intermediate class, as I am more experienced and felt the beginners class was easy; if it’s your first time I strongly recommend it!
Fantastic experience: Excellent pilates studio with a great team of instructors who know their stuff. I love Anser's class and attend weekly - he really challenges you, I always leave feeling like I've had a brilliant workout.
Fantastic experience: Amazing studio...brilliant teachers, who listen to what you want to achieve. A lovely variation of beginners classes to those that want more of a challenge with an advanced class. Just finished my set of 10 classes, and starting to feel and see the results.
Fantastic experience: Great staff, very clean and well equipped studio. Small classes which is great as you feel very supported by instructors. I would love even more classes on the timetable earlier and later if they could manage. 24/7 Absolute
Fantastic experience: I loved my first class at Absolute! I had done pilates on and off for years, but this was my first reformer class and it was brilliant! Kirsty took me through everything and corrected posture and position on the way. A very friendly place and a great studio! Definitely worth a go if you want a challenge!
Fantastic experience: Absolute Pilates is by far the best reformer experience I have ever had. The attention to detail and focus from the instructors on the client is incredible. It's hard work but that is for your own benefit. I am definitely benefiting physically on a daily basis. I love this studio and all of the team .
Fantastic experience: Bought a package for reformer Pilates and am about to sign up to the membership. Love Absolute Studios. The teachers are professional and friendly, the facilities are clean and well maintained. Classes are challenging yet fun. Would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Worth 5 stars. Worth the money! Loved the 30/3 classes offer. It was my first time doing Pilates and Alexis is AWESOME! She sucked me in with her kind and beautiful energy and left me leaving strong! Thanks y’all!
Fantastic experience: I've finally found my perfect place! I felt very welcomed from the beginning. Love the classes. The instructors are really engaged and fun. Class size is perfect, so that you feel that you're being properly kept an eye on. I can't believe that I'm saying that I look forward to each class. Never happened before!
Fantastic experience: I tried Absolute Studios after my osteopath recommended Pilates after a back injury. Their introductory 3 for £30 offer was very good. I was so impressed by the studio, it's so clean and airy and gorgeous. I've been taking classes with Natalie and she's so lovely and an incredible teacher, also has the best playlists I've ever heard in workout environment! Extra bonus! I really feel the burn. I've now joined on the bronze membership because I love it so much, can't wait to be a regular here as long as I can.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely good exercise, worth to try. A really intense work in short time that will make a difference for my back
Fantastic experience: A gem of a studio with skilled and friendly instructors and a very laid back vibe.
Fantastic experience: So good, i’ve booked another pack of classes. I love how the different teachers use the reformer for different exercises. It’s never boring
Fantastic experience: A great little studio that has a community feel to it! Pilates has been core to my physical rehabilitation process and I could not recommend Absolute Studios enough
