I have been attending mat classes with Jenny for over ten years and highly recommend them. They are relaxed and enjoyable with a lovely small group of participants. Jenny explains the techniques clearly. I notice an improvement in my strength and posture when I am able to attend regularly. The Pilates gym is a comfortable, calming and well-equipped space.
I highly recommend the Pilates Gym. I have been attend Pilates mat classes for nearly two years and feel definite improvement in my flexibility and posture. The atmosphere there is welcoming and friendly and class sizes are small. My instructor, Rhian, is excellent and ensures that everyone is working at a pace that is comfortable for them and can adapt exercises to accommodate any current issues. A really positive experience and I look forward to class each week.
I recently joined The Pilates Gym in Wythall to help with joint issues and flexibility. I began with a one-to-one session with Jenny, who was instantly warm, welcoming, and reassuring. She explained everything clearly and made me feel completely at ease. I then joined a small beginners’ reformer group, which has been perfect. The studio is immaculate, beautifully lit, and has a calm, peaceful feel. Lydia, our instructor, is fantastic — patient, clear, and encouraging. I never feel anxious or out of place, and the time flies by. I’ve enjoyed it so much that I’m planning to book a regular mat class in the new year as well. There’s plenty of free parking, it’s easy to find, and the whole atmosphere — staff and other class members — is genuinely friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking of starting Pilates.
The Pilates Gym 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.
every recent review describe the studio atmosphere positively — recurring descriptors include "welcoming", "calming" and "no judgement". This kind of language pattern, particularly across multiple reviewers, tends to indicate a settled member community rather than a high-turnover commercial environment. If you're new to pilates and concerned about feeling out of place at your first class, this is the indicator most worth weighting. One recent member put it this way: "The Pilates gym is a comfortable, calming and well-equipped space." — Sarah Kennedy.
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.
