"At BODYFORME, movement is personal."
Suzanne Harb — Founder
Born from a practice
BODYFORME is different because it's not just a studio — it's a complete approach to movement. We combine hot yoga and hot mat Pilates to build both strength and mobility in one space, creating a balanced practice that supports real, sustainable results.
Our focus is on form, not performance. Every class is designed to help you move better, feel stronger and progress at your own pace. With a boutique feel that's welcoming, structured and grounded, BODYFORME offers more than fitness — it's a place to train consistently, reset mentally and build a body you can rely on.
Our name reflects our philosophy. "Body" for strength and wellbeing. "Forme" for shape, condition — and for you. Every practice is yours. On 24 April 2026, we opened our doors at 132 Ayr Street, Doncaster. More than a workout, BODYFORME is your space to reset, reconnect and grow.
The values we practise
These aren't words on a wall. They shape how we teach, how we welcome, and how we build this community every day.
We don't measure success in reps or speed. One movement done correctly is worth more than ten done carelessly. Form is the foundation everything else is built on.
Classes are designed for all levels. There is no pressure to keep up, push through pain or perform for the room. You move at the pace that's right for your body today.
We use heat intentionally — to deepen stretching, build mental resilience and help the body work more efficiently. It's not a gimmick. It's part of the practice.
Strength without mobility is fragile. Flexibility without control is unstable. The combination of hot yoga and Pilates addresses both — giving you a practice that's genuinely balanced.
We built BODYFORME to be a space where the outside world falls away. Every session is a chance to come back to your body, clear your head and leave feeling more yourself than when you walked in.
Every body is different. Every practice is different. What works for one person may not work for another, and that's not a problem — it's the whole point. We meet you where you are.
Meet the instructors

How it all began
From a single studio in Doncaster to a growing community — here are the milestones that have shaped BodyForme.
In their own words
Real experiences from members who found something they weren't expecting.
Michelle Edwards
Hot Pilates & Yoga member
“I've been going to Bodyforme for hot Pilates and yoga, and I absolutely love the way it makes me feel. The more I go, the more I notice a real difference in my body. I feel less pain, my menopause symptoms feel more regulated, and I generally have a much greater sense of wellbeing.”
Beyond the classes, Bodyforme has such a lovely community of people. The new owner genuinely cares about the gym, listens to what the students want, and is already making thoughtful changes to take Bodyforme to the next level. It is such a warm, welcoming and supportive space, and I'm so grateful to have found it. Highly recommend.

“Its my one true hour of peace! The focus required to move with your breath creates an almost meditative grounding effect that completely silences the outside world. It's my favourite part of the day! You no longer view working out as a chore. A celebration of what your body can do.”
The support and encouragement is outstanding from the amazing instructors! They actually care about my journey. They help you safely navigate your limits and always notice your progress! I feel stronger and mentally lighter and more confident! Can't put into words how grateful and appreciative I am of Bodyforme.
