Inside One Spa: Reformer Pilates, Recovery and a New Approach to Wellness

In partnership with One Spa

From its thermal suite and spa days to strength, mobility and recovery, One Spa reflects the way wellness is changing – and why feeling good has become one of today’s greatest luxuries.

If there is one lifestyle movement that’s gathered real momentum in recent years, it’s wellness. Once centred around occasional indulgences or ambitious fitness goals, the conversation has shifted towards something far more sustainable. Today, we’re investing in habits that help us move better, recover properly and feel healthier, not just for a season, but for life.

Reformer Pilates Arrives at One Spa in Edinburgh

The new reformer Pilates studio at One Spa is designed for every level of experience from complete beginners and beyond.

One Spa has embraced that evolution with the launch of Reformer at One Spa, adding one of the world’s fastest-growing forms of exercise to its award-winning spa and fitness offering. Designed for every level of experience, from complete beginners to seasoned enthusiasts, the new reformer Pilates studio brings together expert instruction with the calm surroundings for which One Spa has become known.

The appeal of reformer Pilates lies in its versatility. Using a spring-loaded machine to provide adjustable resistance, it develops strength, flexibility, balance and core stability while remaining low impact. It’s no surprise the discipline has become increasingly popular with everyone from runners and golfers to those simply looking for an enjoyable way to stay active and support their long-term health.

Where Movement Meets Recovery

At One Spa, however, the class is only part of the experience. Guests can choose to upgrade their visit to include access to recovery facilities such as the 19m infinity-edge pool and Edinburgh’s only thermal suite, complete with its iconic rooftop hydropool, or add one of the spa’s renowned treatments, all available for an additional charge.

The newly refurbished gym is fully equipped for those who want to continue their workout after class, while the Café at One Spa provides the perfect spot for a catch-up over coffee. The new Rasul Mud Bothy offers something a little different for guests looking for an experience with connection as well as indulgence.

It’s an approach that recognises wellness isn’t just about how hard we train, but how well we recover.

Making Wellness Part of Your Routine

Flexibility is key to reformer Pilates classes.

Flexibility is central to the experience. Reformer Pilates classes can be booked individually, making it easy to discover the benefits without commitment, while class bundles are available for greater value longer term.

For those looking to make wellness part of their routine, a range of One Spa membership options combine access to fitness facilities, spa experiences and a programme of classes designed to support both body and mind.

Perhaps that’s the biggest shift of all. Wellness is no longer something we save for holidays or special occasions. It has become part of the way we choose to live, with small, consistent rituals replacing quick fixes and short-lived resolutions.

With the addition of its new reformer Pilates studio, Edinburgh’s One Spa continues to evolve alongside that movement, creating a destination where movement, recovery, connection and relaxation come together under one roof.
