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’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!

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.
After 2 children and 20 years of constant long haul flights for work to say I was unfit was an understatement. Aeroplane and hotel food along with very little exercise took their toll. I’d tried gyms along the way but found it so completely boring and to be honest a chore that I would lose interest in after a matter of weeks. I used to be a keen athlete but never imagined I would ever get close to those levels of fitness again . How wrong I was. After 12 months of training with Jon my life has completely transformed.
I am fit, have a ton of energy and feel amazing. Jon is the consummate professional and an absolutely amazing coach. He is supportive, encouraging, motivating and totally committed to your individual fitness journey. Not only am I fit and healthy, but I have had lots of fun getting there and met some great people who I now call friends. If you want to get incredibly fit and have fun doing it I can’t think of any place better than at Jon Hill Fitness.
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
