Bespoke Pilates is our family-run boutique studio, founded in 2006 by myself, Cheralyn, and my husband, Jon Hill. With over 28 years of experience in the fitness industry, we have dedicated ourselves to providing exceptional coaching and personalised Pilates instruction.
For more than 22 years, I have been teaching Pilates, and I am grateful to have many long-standing clients who have been with me since the early days of my Pilates journey. It all began in a humble church hall, where I taught Matwork Pilates and used small equipment props in my classes. However, I soon realised that my members could benefit even more from training on the renowned Reformer machines.
At the time, there were only a handful of Pilates/Reformer studios in the country, and introducing this concept to Blackwater was an exciting venture. Many people had never heard of Reformer machines or Pilates before, making it a unique and niche market.
With Jon’s unwavering support, we secured premises and worked hard to create the studio you see today. It was a labour of love, with my brother and his family assisting us in various aspects, such as building, planning, and painting. The result is a beautiful and inviting space where our members can experience the benefits of Pilates.
Our primary goal is to deliver exceptional coaching and guidance to all our members and clients. We believe in providing a personalised touch that makes each experience at Bespoke Pilates truly unique. But don’t just take my word for it; take a moment to read the kind testimonials and feedback shared by our wonderful members, who have generously taken the time to express their satisfaction.

I live quite an active life (cycling, rock climbing, Ju-Jitsu, weight training, long rides on my motorbike amongst others!) and my girlfriend suggested I give Pilates a go. Participating in classes at Bespoke Pilates Studio has helped immeasurably. I believe I am stronger and more flexible and more importantly, the back aches have gone away.
I joined Bespoke Pilates 17 years ago after my osteopath recommended strengthening my core to improve my debilitating back pain.Basically, Cheralyn changed my life!From not being able to sit for more than 15 minutes at a time, and not even lift a kettle which was half full, I now train with weights, and I was on a flight for 32 hrs last year, and just a few stretches later, my body sprang back, with no stiffness, aching muscles, and best of all no pain!She is the best trainer I've ever had.With her expertise and knowledge of how the body works, she took away my fear of further injuring my back with exercise.Cheralyn truly cares for each individual. She modifies the exercises to suit your body, and keeps the classes challenging, somehow always knowing what our bodies need. We are made to focus on our form, which maximises the benefit to our body whilst avoiding injury.She helps us get through tough workouts with love and fun conversations, whilst consistently changing our routines to improve our workouts.Cheralyn has removed my pain, changing me from an individual who was always fearful of exercise and worsening pain, to one who is now pain free, and able to explore other areas of exercise such as spinning, gun ex, TRX, and even surfing!My deep core and overall strength have improved beyond measure.I am fitter now than I ever was in my youth, and I have the staff at Bespoke Pilates to thank for this transformation.The classes, both reformer and mat, are challenging, whether you are a beginner or advanced level. They are small enough in size to allow for personal attention.I am often stressed and tired when I get to the studio after working all day, and I feel absolutely rejuvenated and relaxed when I have finished.From the moment you walk in to Bespoke Pilates, you feel welcome. You are greeted with a big smile from Tracey, everyone is so positive and caring.All the members of the studio are so friendly, it is a wonderful community to be part of. We are all striving for the same thing, and we have a great time doing it. It is a place of camaraderie and fun, and I have truly made some amazing friends.Thank you for being such a great place !I can't wait to continue working out with you.
