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.

Training regularly with Jon and the team has enriched my life on so many levels. I would never have thought myself capable of keeping up such a healthy exercise regime. That’s because it’s far more than exercise. It’s fun, challenging, motivating, mentally healing, uplifting, satisfying, connecting and keeps my mind and body in check.
Jon is an admirable true professional. He trains us not only with awesome equipment but through leading by example. I’ve never wanted to look after myself more or felt so comfortable being me than I do, training with Jon and the team. Thanks for this gift xx
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.
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 !
I can’t praise Jon enough for helping me achieve a life long ambition. I successfully managed to lose over 60 lbs and shrink by 64 inches by following his fitness and nutrition plan. By attending the mixed range of classes on offer, I have grown fitter, leaner and stronger.
The group sessions are great as there is lots of support and encouragement from everyone else. Jon is very supportive yet motivates and inspires me to keep going to maintain and improve my goals. He believed in me and I can’t thank him enough. Quite simply he is the best.
