I cannot recommend Lytham Pilates enough. Ashley is an amazing teacher, and I feel I have progressed so much during the past year thanks to both her encouragement, patience and exceptional teaching. I enjoy both the mat and reformer classes and, as classes are small, I often feel as if I'm getting one-to-one support, with all my foibles being picked up and corrected! I cannot underestimate the benefits to my body, and I really notice the difference when I have missed a class! Support from Nick and Ashley is exceptional when you need help with any aspect of the booking system. They couldn't be more supportive. Kelly and Tracy are both very welcome additions as teachers : vastly experienced, with great personalities who ensure that Pilates is always an enjoyable experience, even when you're being really challenged!

My daughter and her friend had an amazing time during their duet session with Ashley! She was incredibly patient and made the entire experience both fun and enjoyable. The reformer Pilates workout was definitely a challenge, but Ashley took the time to guide them through each step and explained everything clearly. Both girls mentioned how much the session helped improve their posture and flexibility, They’re already looking forward to the next session, time permitting! We couldn’t be more pleased with how much they got out of it. Highly recommend!

I recently moved to St Annes two months ago. I had a one to one pilates coach since 2018 in Surrey and was very sceptical if I’d be able to find a coach as good in the local area ! I have been fortunate to find Ash at Lytham Pilates in St Annes and I attend a one to one class on a Tuesday afternoon. As a runner and golfer she sets me specific challenges to help with these target sports that I enjoy. The weekly classes are great fun, I look forward to when a Tuesday comes round for my session and I can recommend her 100%. Dominic.

What you can practice at Lytham Pilates
Lytham Pilates offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Reformer Pilates
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
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.

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.
