Samata Pilates Expands to Batley with Inclusive Reformer Studio

West Yorkshire’s wellness scene just got a boost as Samata Pilates officially opens its second studio — this time in Batley.

Building on the success of its original Heckmondwike location, Samata Pilates continues its mission to make Reformer Pilates accessible, empowering, and welcoming to all. The new studio on Hick Lane offers a refreshing take on fitness, designed for every body type and every fitness level, stripping away the polished aesthetic often associated with Pilates.

Set within an intimate 450 sq ft studio, the Batley space features six reformer beds, each equipped with jumpboards to deliver high-energy, cardio-infused classes. From female-only and male-only sessions to flexible class levels and free first class offers for men, the studio is committed to challenging outdated perceptions and inviting everyone to experience the benefits of Reformer Pilates.

Class Options Include:

• Foundations – A gentle, confidence-building introduction to Reformer Pilates
• Fundamentals – A beginner-friendly class with increased energy and flow
• Elevate – A dynamic intermediate session with faster transitions and strength-building movements

Founder Jamila Karolia, who has nearly a decade of experience in personal training and group fitness, says Samata is about more than movement — it's about building confidence and community. Having supported clients through gym sessions, boot camps, and lockdown workouts, she’s seen first-hand the transformative effects of Pilates — especially for those new to it.

“We’re proud to strip away the polished, social media style that Pilates can often showcase and instead replace it with strength, confidence and a community,” says Jamila.

Beyond regular sessions, Samata Pilates also offers private Pilates party packages for birthdays, team socials, and special occasions — with the option to add DJs, refreshments, and goody bags for a truly bespoke experience.

With free parking, fresh fruit in every class, and a timetable offering weekday morning and evening classes plus weekend sessions, it’s never been easier to put your wellbeing first.
