The city edit Issue 01
The Hawick Pilates Edit
Hawick's first evidenced reformer route is modest and personal: Sam Deans has added beginner taster sessions to her long-running Riverside Studios programme rather than launching an inflated all-day timetable.
The long read
Pilates in Hawick, neighbourhood by neighbourhood.
Sam's Fitness & Well-Being Studio has occupied Unit B2 at Riverside Studios since 2010. The first-party reformer announcement published in March 2026 introduces beginner taster sessions at £10, with dates released directly through the studio.
The wider Pilates page still describes one-to-one reformer as coming soon, so this listing does not imply a mature weekly apparatus schedule. Contact Sam or inspect the live Bookwhen page for the current taster dates before making the journey.
That distinction keeps the guide useful without erasing a genuine new local offer. The listing carries the confirmed address, phone and introductory price, while ongoing one-to-one availability remains unclaimed until the studio updates its core service page.
Riverside Studios places the class close to Hawick's centre. The Borders Distillery, the textile collection at Borders Textile Towerhouse and the paths through Wilton Lodge Park give the visit a character rooted in the town's craft and river landscape.
