Absolutely love these classes. Mary is a fantastic teacher who I always feel in safe hands with (helped by her being a physiotherapist I'm sure). I love that the classes can be done at different levels depending on ability, so there's always ways to adapt depending on how I'm feeling. These classes are a highlight of my week!
Absolutely love this class! Mary is such a great communicator and teacher. I look forward to the class each week. It gives me so much confidences that Mary is also a physiotherapist - I completely trust her and highly recommend this friendly class!
Mary runs a friendly set of Pilates Classes. Each person is encouraged to work at their own level and there is no pressure on them to do more than they are able. I usually find that I am satisfactorily exerted at the end of a session. Mary is encouraging and helpful to participants during the sessions.
Balanced Body Pilates & Physio offers 3 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Clinical pilates combines classical pilates with physiotherapy principles. Sessions are led by chartered physiotherapists or specialist pilates instructors who design individualised programmes based on detailed postural and movement assessment.
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: "Mary is a fantastic teacher who I always feel in safe hands with (helped by her being a physiotherapist I'm sure)." — Nichola West.
Yes — at least one weekday class runs until 20:00 or later, which suits members training after a standard working day. Evening peaks at most UK pilates studios run from 18:00 to 19:30, with later 20:00-21:00 slots usually quieter and easier to book on the day.
Insurance reimbursement for clinical pilates depends on three factors: (1) the lead practitioner must be HCPC-registered as a Chartered Physiotherapist — verify by asking the studio or checking the HCPC public register, (2) your policy must include a physiotherapy benefit, and (3) most insurers (Bupa, AXA Health, Vitality, WPA, Aviva) require either a GP referral or completion of their own self-refer pathway. Standard reformer or mat classes at the same studio are not reimbursable — only sessions led by a chartered physio with a clinical assessment qualify.
