Meghan Markle‘s Pilates sessions have reportedly become part of her new routine in the Cotswolds. The Duchess of Sussex was spotted at a reformer class at Soho Farmhouse, a members’ club popular with well-known names. Now, a regular attendee has described what the workout experience is like there, from the class size to the price. One strict rule sets the sessions apart, and it may explain why the space feels so private.
Meghan Markle’s new Pilates class in the UK reportedly feels ‘incredibly intimate’
Meghan Markle’s life on British soil has reportedly taken shape in the Cotswolds. After the Duchess relocated to the UK with her family last month, she was seen last week at a reformer Pilates class at Soho Farmhouse. A regular attendee of the private members’ club also described the sessions as “incredibly intimate.” They added that “absolutely no photos are allowed,” reports HELLO! Magazine.
Size appears to be part of the appeal. The source said each class has only 10-12 beds. Experts from luxury gyms in London lead the sessions, and a class costs £25 ($33). The whole space can be hired, though the source did not think Meghan does so. The club also offers more than Pilates. Members can also book personal training, tennis and padel, and special swimming sessions are available for children.
The source said celebrity sightings are common at the Farmhouse, which sits on the Great Tew Estate. They named Brad Pitt, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, and Miles Teller and his wife, Keleigh. Ellen DeGeneres, a Cotswolds local, is also a regular attendee.
Soho Farmhouse was among the first places the Duchess was seen publicly after her arrival, and she was introduced to senior staff by name with “considerable fanfare,” as per the source. Notably, the brand holds personal meaning for the Sussexes. The city branch of Soho House is where the Duke and Duchess went on their first date in 2016.
