One Gym. Three Studios.

Elevate Your Ritual.

  • We remove the noise.

    Build a balanced routine across our boutique Gym, Reformer Pilates, Hot Mat Pilates, Hot Yoga and Strong classes all under one roof in Cardiff.

    Every class follows the same intelligent sequencing. Every instructor is trained to our exacting standard.

  • True health and wellbeing comes from meaningful relationships, community and that sense of belonging. A wellness experience is both inspirational and grounded in human connection.

    Everything you see now, the studios, the method, the way classes are structured, are all built to remove uncertainty and replace it with clarity.

  • Founded in Cardiff in 2016, Base has evolved from a boutique gym into a complete wellness destination.

    Base is the result of nearly a decade of building, refining, and understanding what members need from a space like this.
