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 love training at Jon Hill 30 minute Dynamic fitness. Jon is 100 per cent focused on each session and motivates each team member to do their best. Jon has invested in dynamic equipment to get the best results which are seen quickly. My strength has hugely improved by regularly attending his Gun-ex and ViPR sessions. The energy in each session is infectious and I look forward to training with a brilliant team each time.
I’ve been training with Jon for many years now - starting with Spinning, then TRX, Kettle Bells, Cross Core, ViPR and GunEx. The kit and the classes are of the highest standard and are constantly being updated with new technology and the latest equipment. His high-tech scales - InBody - enable you to track the improvements in your own body composition, which is amazingly rewarding!
Jon is the most motivational and enthusiastic coach I have ever met, encouraging everyone to work to their own ability and individual goals. I was part of this initial weight loss programme and successfully reached my target within the timeframe. Most importantly, classes are great fun, full of banter and I’ve made some lifelong friends with other members of the studio. Long may it continue!

Benefits of monthly membership Keeps me focused, and motivated , and I can train as much as I want for a very reasonable price. Seeing the other team members regularly inspires me to keep going .
If on the odd occasion one of us needs a lift, the regular contact we have with Jon and the others really helps. After leaving the military I struggled to find a group that would be totally inclusive, non-judgemental and I found it . Weight-loss, self-esteem and my overall health have improved significantly this past year. Thank you Jon and team
Jon said to me today “how long ago were you this fit?". My answer "probably just before I had Ethan", but thinking about it I can honestly say I haven’t been this fit since I was in school and that’s over 30 years ago. On the outside, I looked fit and I used that as an excuse not to do any physical activity and eat unhealthily. So really I wasn’t in that good shape after all. Just because I could fit into a size 6 pair of jeans didn’t mean I was healthy.
I had always managed to keep a slender frame but when I became a Mum at the ripe old age of 44 my fitness regime became non-existent and the weight crept up slowly but surely and worst of all I felt achy and sluggish. I needed to invest in myself. So I decided to take the big step into Jon’s studio and join his 8-week weight loss program. Jon guaranteed results. It is amazing to watch how quickly your body starts to change. Trust me my pictures from before and after are proof.
Now a year after joining Jon hills fitness studio I can proudly say that as a 52-year-old woman I’m fitter, healthier and in better shape than I was as a 20-year-old. Weight alone doesn’t determine your health. Being active is a sure way to being healthy and feeling good. Jon is always there to support and coach you for your entire journey and the support keeps on coming. So does the banter which has made this journey so much fun. The last year has been an absolutely joyful experience that definitely releases the endorphins and you feel your fitness levels improve each week. Thank you to everyone that has been part of my journey !
