OUR STORY
Founder Joanne Mathews was first introduced to the Pilates Reformer in 2006 while recovering from injuries received in a car accident a few weeks earlier. What began as a physical rehab programme became a revelatory and life-changing experience.
Early on in her recovery, it became clear that the various specialists she needed to help her recover – physios, rehab trainers, corrective and functional exercise trainers– all worked in isolation, with no information sharing. As a result, there was no one person or solution to guide and support her through the various stages of her recovery, and it was up to her to manage her progress herself.
It was clear to Joanne that there had to be a better way to help her – and others like her – return from accident or injury to full fitness. And so Joanne was inspired to create it, with the Reformer at its heart.
Turning her back on a successful corporate career, Joanne launched Ten and opened her first Studio in Notting Hill just a few months later. Today, nearly 20 years on, Ten continues to offer its uniquely integrated and client-focussed approach.
OUR APPROACH
Go hard or go home”. “Pain is just weakness leaving the body”. Two tired fitness cliches that you’ll never hear at Ten. Clients come to us for something more relevant, motivating and empowering.
For us, it’s all about balance. Whether you’re looking to enhance your physical fitness, support your mental and emotional wellbeing or simply to live healthier, happier and stronger for longer. And we’re here to help you achieve and maintain it.
With 10 Studios across London offering Reformer Pilates, Physiotherapy, Massage, Clinical Exercise and Personal Training, what sets Ten apart is not so much which services we offer – unique as that may be. It’s how we offer them, and why.
For us it’s about the balance between the different services you might need at different stages in your journey, and how we integrate and optimise them to support your specific needs.
CIRCLE OF CARE
We take a uniquely holistic approach, focused on your individual needs rather than any single methodology or process. We call it our Circle of Care.
Unlike the rest of the fitness industry, our Trainers and Therapists work side-by-side under the same roof. They share information, experience and insights across every stage of your journey with us – whether exercise, prehab, injury management, treatment or rehab.
It allows us to provide you with a seamless progression from one stage to another, and continually adapt your programme to maximise its effectiveness, whether to speed your recovery from injury or help you achieve your goals faster.
