I’ve been going along to Graft Pilates since Nov ‘25 I was a complete reformer novice and can honestly say it’s been the most rewarding experience in terms of my physical fitness/training. All the instructors are super talented in their discipline and are very nurturing with their students. They have so much patience with us all, whilst also very encouraging too. Graft Pilates has been the best find for me from a novice to improver I’m so pleased with my journey.
Gorgeous space and great instructors. I’ve never enjoyed Pilates so much! Anna offers 1-1 sessions which can really help with your body alignment and confidence when using the reformer. They also have a great range of classes available at all times during the day! Cannot recommend enough.
I joined Graft on a bit of a whim, knowing nothing about reformer Pilates. I was looking for a class to get back into exercise, and I can honestly say it is the best decision I have made in a long time. Anna has created such a warm, welcoming and inspiring space. I look forward to every class and leave feeling strong and energised! All of the instructors are fantastic, they really focus on each individual and adapt the movements to your needs, so you are challenged but supported. Highly recommend!
Graft Pilates 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.
one of the 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: "They have so much patience with us all, whilst also very encouraging too." — Kashmir.
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.
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.
