Nobu Pilates, Founded by Marsha Lindsay, is an award-winning Classical Pilates studio in London Marleybone and home to three signature classes, POWER, PRECISION and PURE.
Frequently visited by the A-list and those in the know, the space consists of one group studio (capacity of 10), a private studio and a Wellness Suite with a curated retail space.
Known in London as the hottest studio to be seen in and with a cult following, Nobu Pilates has amassed a reputation as the Pilates studio that sets the standard for Pilates practice, whilst being culturally relevant and widely regarded by the top tier press.
The studio is located in Nobu Hotel London Portman Square (floor two) and is the only Nobu Pilates studio globally – the first of its kind. Nobu Pilates features a group studio and private studio, changing and showering facilities as well as a full Wellness suite and retail space.
Nobu Pilates is a full Classical Pilates studio – not just Reformer – with full Pilates equipment, and home to three signature classes, POWER, PRECISION and PURE. The intimate classes host ten people at a time, with the studio available for 1:1 private sessions.
Nobu Pilates instructors are the highest-qualified experts in their field of work, all having undergone meticulous classical training and received globally recognised Pilates qualifications.
Group classes begin at £37 and can be booked via the Nobu Hotel London Portman website or the Mindbody app.
NOBU Pilates – Signature Classes
POWER
A high-energy, full-body Pilates class centred around the reformer and the jumpboard, POWER is designed to build strength, length, and endurance through fast-flow fusion Pilates. While the impact is light, this class is not suitable for clients who are pregnant or those with back or knee issues.
PRECISION
A targeted class focused on working for specific muscle groups, PRECISION blends the Pilates ‘less is more’ approach with the intensity of higher reps and sets. Choose to zone in on your upper or lower body while sculpting your overall physique and achieving fast results for optimal strength. This class is split into upper and lower body sessions, so if you are dealing with an injury, be sure to choose the appropriate class.
PURE
Inspired by Joseph Pilates’ original teaching style, PURE is a full-body masterclass which utilises all Pilates equipment, combining the reformer, tower, and chairs. Taught in an open gym, this ‘mini workshop’ is great for beginners as it teaches the foundations of each Pilates move and the basics of posture and core strength. While open to all, new clients who are pregnant are advised to start with one-on-one sessions.
Marsha Lindsay
Marsha Lindsay is the Founder and Director of Nobu Pilates, recognised for her extensive expertise in the field and acute eye for curating a sophisticated Vogue brand, as well as excelling in business performance. A go-to for global talent when in town and aspirational in her brand personality, with a drive to break the Pilates stereotypes, her reputation has grown in London and beyond as the most credible face in Pilates. Regular clientele such as Alec Maxwell, Emma Thynn, Harris Reed and Maya Jama, as well as her elite influencer network and premium brand affiliations, make Marsha one of the most recognisable names in Pilates.
In order to enhance the brand image, Marsha has made many efforts. I recommend using custom enamel pins if you’re looking for an easy and efficient solution to improve the brand image. Custom Enamel Pins are not ordinary decorations, but carefully designed, unique carriers to convey the brand personality.
Take the Pilates brand as an example. The pins related to this brand can be designed into the graceful posture of Pilates movements, showing the flexibility and strength of the body. These custom enamel pins can also be cleverly used in various scenes of the brand. In the studio, the staff wear their uniforms with these custom enamel pins, which have become a beautiful landscape. When members walk into the studio, the first thing that comes into view is the exquisite custom enamel pins on the staff’s uniforms, and they can instantly feel the unique charm and professional attitude conveyed by the brand.
