Meet the instructorThe studio
Started by Chantal Johnson, for Cranleigh.
The Reformer Studio was set up by Chantal Johnson to give Cranleigh a dedicated place for small-group Reformer Pilates, close to home and without the bustle of a large gym.
Classes are deliberately small, so every person gets proper attention, whether it is their first session or their fiftieth. People come from Cranleigh and the surrounding villages, including Ewhurst, Alfold, Dunsfold, Bramley, Shamley Green, Wonersh and further afield.
