Fox Signature
You know your way around the reformer. You've done a few Fundamentals classes and you fancy more of a challenge. Signature is our mixed abilities class: 50 minutes, more flow and more layers, with options throughout so you can take it up or down depending on what your body needs that day.
Who it's for
Deliberate progressions that'll leave you feeling worked rather than wrecked.
You've done the groundwork
You've moved through Fox Fundamentals, or you've taken 5 or more classes elsewhere. You understand the essentials and you're ready to see where Pilates can take you now.
The reformer feels familiar
It no longer looks scary. You know how to change the springs or lower the footbar, and the mechanics of it all feel much more comfortable.
You want depth, not novelty
You're open to more deliberate progressions and you want to challenge yourself. Relatively new? You're welcome here. A regular, or an athlete? We've got you too.
We'll be led by you
We all need different things from our 50 minutes. If we see your body might be able to take on more, we'll offer it. But we'll never make you feel bad for not taking an option.
Whether you've done loads of Pilates or are still figuring things out, let's get to work and have a little fun too.
What 50 minutes looks like
-
The Signature warm-up
Time to slow down and settle into your body. Breath work, deep core work, joint mobility and spinal articulation set the tone for the rest of class.
-
Flow blocks
Familiar shapes with more options. Deliberate progressions that wake up your stabilising muscles, with spring options and longer sets that feel exciting rather than overwhelming.
-
Cool-down
Never skipped. Stretches for the muscles that just gave everything, and a chance for your nervous system to settle. You leave feeling lighter than you walked in.

Signature questions
New to reformer? Start with Fox Fundamentals
What's the difference between Fox Fundamentals and Fox Signature?
Fundamentals teaches the patterns, Signature explores them. Signature moves a little faster, with deeper sequencing and more options to challenge you. Fundamentals has fewer layers, a slower pace and more time for detail.
Do I need to do Fox Fundamentals before Fox Signature?
No. You don't need a certain number of classes to unlock Signature, and it's really up to you. We'd recommend Fundamentals if you've never done reformer before or you've had a long break. If you've done 5 or more recent classes at another studio, Signature will be fine, though the cueing might take a class to get used to. Not sure? Ask us, we love that chat.
How hard is it?
That's up to you, and it can change from week to week. Every block has options to take it up or down, from the springs to the tempo to the range, so the challenge is tailored to you and nobody else on the next reformer. Challenging in the best possible way, and still no "pain is progress".
Can I come if I have an injury?
Usually, yes. If it's chronic or severe, check with your doctor before starting anything new. Not sure? Email hello@wildfoxpilates.co.uk and tell us what's going on. We're not doctors, but we'll know whether Pilates will help or hinder. If it's recent or severe, we may suggest a 1:1 first.
I'm pregnant. Which class should I book?
If you're already coming to class, Fox Signature is a great continuation until your third trimester (from week 28), and after that our slower Fox Fundamentals classes, where we'll adapt exercises as you go. If you're new to reformer, please start before week 28, with Fox Fundamentals or a private session. From the third trimester lying on your back isn't recommended, and someone completely new needs more support than we can give in a class to keep them safe. Either way, please let your teacher know before class starts.
Three classes, £39
For a limited time, our founder intro is 3 classes for anyone new to Wild Fox.
