I had my first class at Maison du Pilates and was absolutely blown away! First of all, the studio itself is stunning, truly something out of an interior design magazine. You can tell so much care and thought went into creating this space, it’s elegant, calming, and just such a beautiful environment to move in. My instructor, Rebecca, was incredible. She was so welcoming and friendly from the moment I walked in, instantly putting me at ease. She’s clearly super talented and passionate about teaching Pilates. She explained everything clearly, offered helpful adjustments, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout. Whether you’re brand new to Pilates or have been doing it for years, I cannot recommend Maison du Pilates enough. It’s the perfect combination of beautiful design and exceptional teaching. I was so impressed I immediately booked my next class, I honestly can’t wait to go back. If you’re looking for a studio that feels special, professional, and truly inspiring, this is it. Don’t hesitate, just book it!

Such a great studio and classes. All instructors are fantastic and encouraging during classes. I am defiantly a reformer addict now and loom forward to class every week. Have felt the benefits of the workout and feel myself improving. I am really thankful this studio opened and hope they will grow and do events.

I couldn’t rate this studio more highly! It’s such a beautiful space to be in, the teachers are absolutely amazing, they really give a personal touch and the management is also incredibly helpful and gracious. As a new mum I wanted to try something new to work on my post partum body and I’ve had a few hiccups along the way with childcare and the management have been so understanding and supportive. I would definitely recommend the Mums & Babies class to any new mums with there little ones, it’s a space to have your baby close and work out at the same time with a very lovely teacher. The beginners classes with Angela / Danielle are also great and I can’t wait to continue my journey with Maison Du✨🤍
Pilates types offered
What you can practice at Maison Du Pilates
Maison Du 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.
