I can’t recommend the Island Pilates classes in Menai Bridge highly enough. Emily and her team provide a varied range of quality workouts, which are adapted to individual needs. I do both weekly reformer and mat classes, which are challenging and hugely enjoyable. I’ve made some lovely friends through Pilates too. Emily is a personable, knowledgable, hard-working and professional teacher and she is committed to developing her already thriving business.
Emily’s Pilates sessions are fantastic. She is very knowledgeable and knows just how far to push you as an individual whether in a mat class or on the reformer bed.. She regularly varies the exercises to keep it interesting and enjoyable. During better weather she even holds occasional classes outdoors which is amazing! As a physiotherapist myself I know how brilliant Pilates is for general musculoskeletal health and well being!! It certainly keeps my aches and pains at bay! Thanks Emily! 🥰
I always love Emily's classes! I feel that her classes have really helped me to gain a lot of core strength. Emily is a fantastic instructor and is always friendly and encouraging throughout the class. I would highly recommend Island Pilates to anyone!
Island Pilates Ltd - Menai Bridge offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Reformer pilates is performed on a specialised piece of equipment using adjustable spring resistance. It targets deeper stabilising muscles than mat-based pilates and is widely used for posture correction, core strength, injury rehabilitation and pre/postnatal training.
Mat pilates uses your bodyweight on a padded mat, often with small props like resistance bands, blocks and pilates balls. It's the most accessible form of pilates — no heavy equipment, lower price points, and easier to continue at home.

Honest, specific answers about this studio.
2 of 3 recent reviews mention the instructors in positive terms — words such as "knowledgeable", "attentive" and "encouraging" recur most frequently. Members citing specific cues, form corrections or named instructors is a strong sign of relationship-led teaching rather than transactional class delivery. If instructor depth matters for your decision (particularly for clinical or prenatal-focused pilates), this is a useful positive signal. One recent member put it this way: "She is very knowledgeable and knows just how far to push you as an individual whether in a mat class or on the reformer bed.." — KT.
Yes — the studio runs Saturday and Sunday classes. Weekend mornings (08:00-10:30) are typically the busiest slots at UK pilates studios; if you prefer a quieter session, the early afternoon often has more availability.
Most UK boutique reformers start newcomers with a beginner-tagged class or a 1-1 intro session rather than dropping them into a mixed-level group. Arrive 10-15 minutes early; you'll be shown carriage adjustment, spring tension and basic safety. Wear grip socks (mandatory at most studios — they sell pairs for £8-15 if you don't have them) and form-fitting clothing that lets the instructor see your alignment. The first class is the steepest learning curve — by your third session, the equipment feels much more intuitive.
