As a beginner, I couldn’t have asked for a better Pilates teacher and the class Steph provides. Steph is patient, encouraging, and explains everything really clearly, making each class enjoyable and easy to follow. Her attention to detail and supportive approach has helped me feel stronger and more confident with every session. I always leave class feeling MUCH less stressed, energized and buzzing — highly recommend! ♥️
I would highly recommend Pilates with Steph. I have been attending her classes since June 25 and it has made a tremendous impact on my fitness. Steph is very understanding and guides you throughout in her session. It is the first time I’ve joined Pilates and would highly recommend it to everyone specially if you have a sedentary job.
I've been joining the group classes with Steph at St Werburgh's Community centre since Nov 2024 and more recently I've done some of her online classes too. New to Pilates, I've found Steph's friendly and encouraging style really helpful, the sessions flow smoothly I and always come away feeling more aligned.
Pilates with Steph 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.

Honest, specific answers about this studio.
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: "Steph is patient, encouraging, and explains everything really clearly, making each class enjoyable and easy to follow." — Rhiannon Shearman.
