I love this location near the harbour. It's a small studio in a Georgian building which I prefer to any gym as there's a personal touch. I started one to ones with Katy Lee Denny and now have started group sessions too. She let's you move at your own pace but can read if you need a little tlc or a massive push to try something challenging. I definitely feel stronger, have better balance and more confidence. Soul Pilates are easy to contact and the app is useful. I would highly recommend (I was extremely nervous as I was a complete novice)

I've been attending Soul Pilates classes for nearly 5 years since the birth of my last child. I love the balance in the types of classes I attend. Some to focus on realigning my body and focusing on fixing some serious changes due to motherhood and other injuries. Over time, the more challenging classes have truly strengthened my body and help me accomplish physical goals outside of 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.

Are there evening classes at Soul Pilates - Bristol City Centre?

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.
