In January 2026, Roxanne brought her vision to life, opening The Pilates Boutique and introducing a completely new reformer-only Pilates concept to the island.

With just seven reformers and founder-led classes, Roxanne has created an intimate, refined and exclusive setting where every client can feel seen, supported and encouraged to work at their own level.

From the very beginning, clients have attended weekly, embracing the new concept and becoming part of a growing community.

Reformer Pilates offers a unique opportunity to understand your body, refine the way you move and discover what you are capable of.

Designed to welcome all ages and abilities, sessions can be adapted whether you are new to Pilates, returning to exercise or simply looking to move with greater strength, control and confidence.

The response to the new concept was immediate.

By July 2026, just six months after opening, Roxanne had outgrown her original space and moved The Pilates Boutique into larger premises at 8 Victoria Street, Douglas.

But behind the beautifully curated studio is a deeply personal story.

Having lived through her own experience of adversity, Roxanne discovered the transformative benefits of movement and Pilates - physically, mentally and emotionally.

What began as part of her own journey became the inspiration to share those benefits with others.

‘Reformer Pilates is such a wonderful way to learn about your body and understand what it is capable of. The benefits really are transformative. For me personally, Pilates has been so much more than exercise - it has saved my life. Having experienced that transformation myself, I want to share those benefits with as many people as I can.’

Designed around mindful movement, controlled resistance and fluidity, sessions support strength, mobility, posture, balance and the mind-body connection.

The studio also offers private and duet sessions, creating an even more personalised experience for those looking for dedicated guidance and support.

Now, The Pilates Boutique is entering its next exciting phase with the introduction of memberships, offering clients a more consistent and connected approach to their Pilates journey, while maintaining the calm, considered atmosphere at the heart of the studio.

For Roxanne, this is about taking something that helped transform her own life and creating an environment where others can experience that same sense of strength, confidence and wellbeing.

From its beginnings to an exclusive boutique studio in the heart of Douglas, The Pilates Boutique is creating its own chapter in the island’s Pilates story - with a vision that continues to evolve.

And perhaps there is something uniquely fitting about that story unfolding here on the Isle of Man, where Joseph Pilates, the founder of the Pilates method, was interned during the First World War - creating a fascinating connection between the island and the origins of a movement that has transformed the way people approach strength, mobility and wellbeing.

Seven reformers. Founder-led classes. Personal attention.

An elevated boutique Pilates experience - created from one woman’s journey and shared with a growing community.
