The people

Meet the KEINA team.

The founders, the instructors, the small team building KEINA into the studio your week has been missing.

The founders

Hi, we're Keia and Melina.

We started KEINA because we wanted a studio that felt like us. A space that still felt beautiful, considered and premium, but not cold. Not intimidating. Not built around the idea that you had to look a certain way, know the moves already, or be part of the Pilates world before you even walked through the door.

For too long, reformer Pilates has felt like one of the most exclusive corners of wellness. Gorgeous studios, high prices, and an unspoken feeling that it was not really made for everyone. 

KEINA is the answer to that. A neighbourhood studio in Ladbroke Grove, created for real people, real bodies and real lives. Somewhere you can start from scratch, come with your friend, build confidence, feel looked after and still get that premium reformer experience without the energy feeling out of reach.

Our first class is £15, drop-ins are £20, and our memberships are designed to work around actual life, not perfect routines. Come through. We’ll meet you at the reformer.

— Keia and Melina, Founders

Our instructors

Qualified instructors. Small classes.  Proper attention.

Every instructor we bring into KEINA shares one thing: the belief that great reformer instruction is as much about how you make people feel as it is about the form on the reformer.

Some are newly qualified, some have been teaching for years, but all are qualified, carefully selected and aligned with the kind of room we're building. In a class of eight, you'll be seen, guided and given options, without ever being made to feel awkward.

BEFORE CLASS

A proper hello.

We learn names, notice when you’re new and help you settle in. Your instructor will check you in, show you around and make sure you feel ready before class.

IN CLASS

You won’t get lost in the room.

Eight reformers means real attention. Your instructor will guide the small things: your setup, your breath, when to push and when to ease off.

AFTER CLASS

Same time next week?

That post-class feeling is hard to beat. Book your next one before life gets in the way, future you will be very pleased you did.

Come and meet us properly.
