Founded in January 2022, Sona is Lindfield’s boutique Pilates, Reformer and Barre studio. Small classes (just 4 on the Reformer), something for every stage of life from BYO Baby to Seniors Barre, and a feel-good community that keeps you coming back.

Hello, I’m Gemma

Founder of Sona and a big believer that fitness should always feel fun

When I moved to Lindfield from London, I missed the boutique studios I loved, so I created my own. Sona opened in January 2022 as a place to sweat, shake and enjoy some much-needed me-time on the mat.

I’m STOTT Pilates trained, with Mat Pilates qualifications from HFE and JPilates, Barre training with Barre Concept and BarreBody, and specialist JPilates certifications in Pre and Postnatal Pilates and Strength. I’m always learning too, with workshops such as Pilates for the Older Adult under my belt, so you can trust you’re in expert hands whatever your stage of life.

Expect feel-good music, a warm welcome at the door and good vibes from start to finish.

Client Love

  • "The classes were a good level of activity and Gemma offered modifications each week depending on trimester / varying levels of energy. The fact that her classes are small means she really gets to know everyone and tailors the classes accordingly."

    Charly - Prenatal Pilates

  • "I’ve gone from never having tried Barre Burn to challenging and pushing my limits every week thanks to Gemma. She’s so encouraging and motivating, especially if you’re a beginner!"

    Chloe, Barre Burn

  • “I’ve finally found something that makes me feel like my old self!”

    Christina, Postnatal Pilates

  • "I absolutely love barre! Despite being new to exercise, Gemma empowers me to challenge myself. The evening ‘Barre Burn’ class means I can go after work and skip the kids’ bedtime for a bit of endorphin-inducing self-care!"

    Lotte, Barre Burn

  • "I love the shorter classes online, super easy to fit in to your day and it all adds up! Wonder how many hours of exercise i’ve done when it would have been zero otherwise!"

    Nikki, On-Demand

  • “I am really fussy when it comes to Pilates / fitness classes. Gemma’s professional high standards and genuine passion for her teaching work ticks all my boxes. I

    have been going 3-4 times a week for a year and I have never got bored in a class and my body has changed beyond anything I thought possible - can’t recommend highly enough.”

    Emma - Barre, Reformer and Strength client

  • “I have been a regular at Sona for years, having started with the BYO baby classes, then onto Barre Burn and more recently back to BYO baby. The prenatal and BYO baby classes are supportive and gentle but you still feel like you’ve had a workout.

    The barre classes are amazing, you will feel the burn but they are fun with a great playlist and the time flies by!”

    Christina - BYO Baby, Barre Burn
