I first joined Katie’s Zumba class just over a decade ago and I was immediately taken by her energy and enthusiasm. Today I continue to look forward to her classes; always fun with ever emerging routines and a good work out guaranteed. Enthused, it was then a natural progression to join Katie’s Pilates class and I’m so grateful that I did. A couple of years ago I realised that I had osteoporosis and Katies qualified knowledge, expertise and careful instruction have been invaluable. Somehow Katie has this remarkable ability to offer individualised attention and encouragement just when we need it. Each class is different and invariably supported by a range of equipment; I always finish each one more enlightened and with a smile on my face. Katies classes don’t end there though as we also have the added advantage of online tips as to how we may adapt Pilates principals within our everyday lives as well as the opportunity to socialise as a group by enjoying walks, summer beach classes and retreats to name a few……Just some of the reasons why I would fully recommend and endorse Katies KK Pilates. Thank you Katie!

Moved to this area a few months ago. Started Katie’s classes a few weeks ago following recommendation, have tried other classes and not felt that comfortable. However Katie has helped me find my Pilates ‘mojo’ again! Classes are fun, varied with use of all types of equipment, and aimed at differing levels. Katie herself is brilliant and manages to personalise some of the movements for individuals as required, and all the people I’ve met at the classes have been very welcoming and friendly too. 👌🏼

Katie is an amazing teacher. She is sensitive to the needs of her clients and tailors the sessions according to need and ability. She encourages and motivates you and provides lots of options with each exercise to accommodate needs, skill and preferences. She seems to have eyes in the back of her head to be able to tell when I am arching my back or dropping my hip. She is lots of fun, incredibly kind and a consummate professional. You will find no one better

Are there evening classes at Katie kkpilatespoole?

What should I expect from my first reformer class at Katie kkpilatespoole?
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.
