I have been attending mat classes with Matteo for many years and he is simply the best Pilates teacher I have been to. His attention to detail is excellent and I always go home feeling 6 inches taller . I can’t recommend him enough. Myra
I feel so lucky to have begun, and to be continuing, my Pilates journey with Matteo. He is an exceptional and nurturing teacher with a deep knowledge and passion for everything Joseph Pilates created, and much more. And if you are already doing Mat or Reformer Pilates, there is still so much more you can learn with Matteo using the Cadillac, Tower, and Barrel in his studio. Highly recommended!
This studio is excellent. Matteo is a really knowledgable, calming teacher and the setting is peaceful and welcoming. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a teacher they can trust.
"Not Just Pilates" by Matteo Bigliardi 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.

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.
