The benefits of our method

Why SoBa?

SoBa’s ‘Powerformer’ classes combine pilates, cardio, strength, endurance and functional resistance training with special attention to the core. All basic elements of fitness are utilised without stress on the joints. Built for precision, resistance, and full range of motion in all planes of motion.

Strict tempo and 55-minute duration ensure the correct threshold of exercise is reached to stimulate the body’s adaptive change. The ‘Powerformer’ has 8 adjustable springs instead of the conventional 5 to allow a customisable resistance load.

The SoBa method is also ideal for people who want to improve their sporting performance.

Build strength by focusing on individual muscles. You will know you have worked them afterwards.

Strengthen the “powerhouse” resulting in coordinated, controlled movement throughout the body, improved posture and a longer leaner torso.

A whole body workout where you’ll notice inner and outer thigh focus, waist, core and abs, your triceps and your glutes – resulting in a stronger and sculpted body.

Exercises designed to lengthen your muscles.

Strengthening for firmer muscles.

Loving the new infrared studio — such a great variety of classes, from LIIT and sculpting Pilates to multiple styles of yoga, so there’s something for every need and ability. I’ve found the infrared light incredibly restorative for aches, pains, and injuries, really enhancing circulation, allowing for a deeper stretch, and helping me fully decompress during yin yoga and sound baths. It’s especially lovely during the colder months. Amazing instructors too, and a great intro offer. Such a brilliant new addition!!

I've been doing dynamic reformer pilates classes with Sam for over 5 years. I don't think I have ever done the same class twice. Her enthusiasm and professionalism never wanes. I have also now attended 3 yoga classes in Soba Pilates new infra red studio. Lora's classes are challenging, yet clear for beginners to follow. The red light soothes the muscles that Sam has worked during the week. A perfect combination. Highly recommended.

I went for the first time to infrared yoga session. This class was exactly what I needed. The teacher’s guidance was clear, gentle, and supportive, allowing space to really tune into the body and breath. The pace was perfect, and the sequence felt thoughtfully designed. I walked away feeling calmer, more balanced, and refreshed — both physically and mentally. Thank you Lora for an amazing experience! 🙏

I’ve been attending Soba Pilates in Kings Langley for around six months now, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and wellbeing. When I first joined, I was quite nervous — I’d never done anything like this before, and at over 55 ish with an ongoing ankle injury, I really wasn’t sure how I would manage. From the very first class, all of the instructors made me feel completely welcome and supported. They take the time to explain everything clearly and offer gentle guidance or adjustments when needed. What I love most is that each teacher brings something different — their own personality, focus, and energy — so every class feels fresh and interesting. I enjoy mixing it up and learning from them all. Over the past six months, I’ve noticed an incredible difference in myself, both physically and mentally. My ankle has become so much stronger, and I feel more flexible and confident than I have in years. I can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone who might be thinking about giving Reformer Pilates a try, especially if you’re nervous or unsure like I was. The team at Soba have helped me feel stronger, more capable. All I have to say is give it a go !!

I started classes at Soba with Sam and Lynn back in February this year, hoping to tone up after having a baby. I was nervous about attending at first, as I felt like I’d lost all my strength postpartum and wasn’t sure I’d be able to keep up. But Sam and Lynn were so welcoming and reassuring right from the start, helping me get positions right and supporting me in gradually increasing the difficulty at my own pace. The atmosphere in the classes are great - everyone’s really friendly, and it never feels intimidating. I feel stronger and more toned, and even though the classes can be challenging, I always leave feeling amazing, like my whole body’s had a proper workout. I don’t usually enjoy exercise, but I genuinely love these classes and would highly recommend them to anyone.
The SoBa method

Our unique method

The SoBa Method is not just about the unique classes we have developed, but it also has a lot to do with our custom-designed reformer.

 

Our “Powerformer”, designed by Sam James (founder of SoBa), lies at the very core of our innovative approach to Pilates. The ‘Powerformer’ is the next evolution in Pilates.

 

It has been designed for an intense full-body workout using slow movements. With a bigger, longer carriage, and more springs and platforms than the traditional pilates reformer.

 

Workouts on the ‘Powerformer’ will strengthen, tone, and elongate muscles speeding up metabolism to encourage fat loss, increase flexibility, and improve postural alignment for overall well-being.

The Reformer Pilates we offer

Dynamic reformer pilates

Traditional Pilates is an exercise method that combines controlled movements with focused breathing to improve physical fitness and promote mental well-being. It is usually completed on a mat, similar to yoga.

 

Reformer Pilates is a specialised form of Pilates that uses a unique piece of equipment called a “reformer” to enhance core strength, flexibility, and body alignment through controlled resistance-based exercises.

 

Finally, dynamic reformer pilates (the pilates we offer) is a type of reformer Pilates which offers a dynamic and challenging workout for those seeking an elevated Pilates experience.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions answered

Some people still think Pilates is just for women. Think again! Pilates was created by a man for men and women alike. Dynamic Reformer Pilates is an effective form of exercise because it develops core strength and improves posture and alignment. That’s something men can benefit from just as much as women. What’s the point of being fit and strong but weak through the centre. That in itself can lead to lower back pain… Hence why we include moves on the ‘Powerformer’ especially for the male physique.

You should start with our New Member Intro. Dynamic is a tough workout so starting a little gentler with a Foundation Dynamic Class will mean you build up some basic strength before jumping into our Dynamic classes.

Great, Dynamic reformer Pilates is perfect for you. We recommend you start with our New Member Intro.
