I had just completed my first four weeks at postnatal Pilates which also has a lovely doula part of the class to take care of the babies - and I have to say, I am so grateful to KIN for helping me to build my confidence back up, along with my strength and mental wellbeing - all the time, whilst they also take care of my baby - Pilates has been the best investment of my maternity leave and I will be continuing through as I’ve adopted such a love for the reformers! It’s like being a child again, I find it the funnest thing I’ve done as an adult which is a serious hobby haha! The teachers are all so wonderful and have supported my journey - honestly I rave about this wonderful place as it has given me so much! Excited to continue to see and feel the improvements in my body :)

I can’t believe Kin Pilates has been just around the corner from me this whole time - I genuinely have no idea what I’ve been missing! I’ve just completed five sessions as part of their new joiners offer and I’m hooked. The studio itself is a lovely space - calm and welcoming. The small class sizes make such a difference, you get real attention and guidance throughout, which helps you feel confident in every movement. What I’ve particularly loved is how easy it is to focus on yourself. I was very anxious to begin with, but there’s no pressure, no comparison - just a really supportive environment where you can tune in to your own progress. The instructors are encouraging and create a positive atmosphere. I’m so glad I finally walked through the door and I definitely hope to keep coming back to this little gem of a studio.

KIN has been such a special space for me and Sonny over the past few months. Being able to bring him along while still carving out time to move and feel strong again has genuinely been amazing… and a little social outing for the babies too! All of the teachers and doulas are so wonderful — so knowledgeable, supportive and accommodating - loved the more intense ones too! The focus on post-partum recovery and building strength again has made such a difference and I feel stronger than I have in a long time (two sessions a week definitely helped me more recently too so thanks all!). Such a thoughtful offering for mums and our little ones. If you’re wondering whether to give it a go — do! It’s a real treat.
Pilates types offered
What you can practice at KIN Pilates
KIN 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.

Honest, specific answers about this studio.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do members say about the instructors at KIN Pilates?
2 of 3 recent reviews mention the instructors in positive terms — words such as "knowledgeable", "attentive" and "encouraging" recur most frequently. 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. One recent member put it this way: "The instructors are encouraging and create a positive atmosphere." — Nikki Winter.
Are there evening classes at KIN Pilates?
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.
What should I expect from my first reformer class at KIN Pilates?
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.
What classes does KIN Pilates offer?
