ABOUT US
Meet Your New Happy Place - where strength is personal and movement is joyful.
At Rise, we don’t believe in intimidation, egos, or chasing the perfect body.
We believe in showing up (even when you nearly cancel), shaking through that last pulse, and rising stronger with every class. We believe in the kind of strength that stays with you. The quiet kind. The resilient kind. The kind you build class after class, breath by breath - whether you’re on a reformer carriage, a mat, gripping a barre, or stretching in a yoga class.
We’re here to make you feel good in your body and proud of your progress. To move with intention, laugh mid-lunge, walk taller out than you walked in, and maybe just a little smug about your glutes.
Founded by two women who believe in community over competition, and that the vibe matters just as much as the workout.
OUR MISSION
At Rise Pilates Studio, we’re redefining what a Pilates studio can be.
We’re not about silent studios, boring colour schemes, or chasing perfection.
We’re about colour, confidence, community - and yes, a bit of sass.
Our small-group Pilates classes in Keyworth are designed to meet you exactly where you are - whether that’s day one of your movement journey, post-baby recovery, your comeback season, or your strong-but-soft era.
REAL MOVEMENT FOR REAL LIFE
Rise Pilates Studio was born from a simple but bold belief: that movement should feel like joy, not punishment. That showing up for yourself shouldn’t require six-pack abs or perfect leggings. And that every woman deserves to feel strong, seen, and supported - no matter where she’s starting from.
Our founders created Rise after discovering how deeply Pilates transforms not just your body, but your confidence, energy, and sense of self. With a background in overcoming adversity (and one hell of a bounce-back story), both Jade and Joole’s have poured that fire into a space where every class celebrates progress, not perfection.
We don’t chase aesthetic ideals. We chase strength, consistency, and community.
OUR METHOD
Our Pilates classes combine strength, mobility, breath, and (yes) burn. We offer a wide range of class types - from sweaty power flows to gentle Sunday resets - so you can rise into whatever your body needs, day by day.
New to Pilates? No problem. We’re here to make it fun, welcoming, and beginner-friendly.
Start with our beginner-friendly classes like Fundamentals, Core Foundations, or Chill Pilates. We’ll guide you through everything and make sure you feel confident from day one.
OUR STORY
Why We Opened This Studio
We believe that movement is medicine.
That strength isn’t one-size-fits-all.
That your story matters - even the messy, unfiltered bits.
And that everyone deserves to feel like the main character in their own body.
We’re not here to transform you. You’re already enough.
We’re just here to remind you what your body can do, and help you Rise.
Hey! We’re Jade and Jooles - two women with very different paths, brought together by a shared love of movement and a dream to create a studio that felt real.
Rise began with a simple idea: what if there was a space where people felt genuinely seen? Where classes were powerful, but welcoming. Where form mattered, but so did fun. Where no one felt judged for wobbling, shaking, or starting again.
We opened Rise because we couldn’t find the space we were craving - so we built it ourselves. Not just a studio, but a community. A place where women (and everyone else) could show up exactly as they are - tired, joyful, grieving, rebuilding, healing - and find strength anyway.
We wanted a space that felt like us. Bright. Bold. Warm. A little cheeky. A lot supportive.
A space where Pilates is serious, but the atmosphere never is.
Rise is for the people who want more than just a workout. It’s for the ones rebuilding after babies, breakups, burnout or just a really long week. It’s for the seasoned movers and the nervous first-timers. The ones who’ve been made to feel not enough - and the ones ready to rise anyway.
This is our story. But more importantly? It’s yours now too.
Welcome to Rise Pilates Studio - your colourful corner of Keyworth for feel-good movement and real results.
We’re not a gym. We’re not a silent, beige studio. We’re a vibrant space with big sister energy, designed for women (and everyone else) aged 18 to 80 who want to move, feel, stretch, shake, and glow.
From Reformer and Tower Pilates to Hot Pilates, Mat work, Barre, and Yoga - we’ve got the tools and the team to support your journey. Whether you’re sporty, in recovery, postnatal, or just reformer-curious, our trained instructors will guide you through empowering classes that feel personal, playful, and deeply effective.
Rooted in the original teachings of Joseph Pilates, with a Rise twist of inclusivity and community, we lift each other up - one pulse at a time. Come for the vibes. Stay for the strength.
Your transformation starts here. Are you ready to Rise?
