The Fitness Group, the UK’s leading fitness education training provider, has announced the launch of Sana Pilates, London’s first dedicated contemporary Pilates studio and education centre, which is now officially open in Islington, North London.
Sana Pilates offers a unique opportunity for trainee instructors to qualify to the highest standard, while members of the public can participate in contemporary Mat and Reformer Pilates classes taught by some of the best instructors in the industry. Education and daily studio sessions will run side by side, creating a first-of-its kind ecosystem that benefits both aspiring instructors and the wider Pilates community.
The site will also serve as The Fitness Group’s new Southern UK headquarters, supporting the continued expansion and development of its Pilates curriculum and setting a new benchmark for instructor education nationwide.
Originally founded with a clear mission to raise the standard of Pilates education in the UK, Sana Pilates brings together expert-led movement, professional training, and a welcoming community under one roof. What started as a dedicated education centre for Mat and Reformer Pilates qualifications, Sana Pilates quickly evolved beyond its initial purpose.
As increasing numbers of highly skilled trainees progressed through their education, it became clear there was a need for a professional, real-world studio environment where they could continue to practise, refine their craft, and confidently step into teaching roles.
“Sana Pilates was born from the belief that great Pilates starts with great education,” says Steven Dick, Co-Founder and Director at The Fitness Group. “By combining a professional studio with an education centre, we’re creating a space where standards are higher, teaching is exceptional, and clients can feel the difference.
”Allie Ryle, a qualified Mat and Reformer Pilates instructor and the lead London Pilates tutor at Sana Pilates, said: “Sana Pilates is designed to be a calm, professional, and inclusive space – whether visitors are looking to strengthen their bodies, refine their movement practice, or simply relax their minds, you can achieve all of that in one space.”
To celebrate the launch, Sana Pilates is offering new members an exclusive intro offer: 3 Reformer classes for £35. The offer must be purchased by 31 January 2026 and is valid for use within 2 weeks of the first class booking.
