Genuinely such a beautiful studio with super attentive and encouraging instructors! There is such an overall positive vibe at MO Pilates that I truly feel like I’m taking out time to treat myself rather than just an everyday workout. Highly recommend to anyone considering starting Pilates or is looking for a studio :)
Another fantastic class with Kitty today. Kitty is super friendly and helpful. She’s very good at giving me adaptations due to my different injuries and especially enjoy doing the spicy Friday exercise!! Would recommend M.O. Pilates to anyone looking to try out reformer Pilates. I have done Kitty, Rosie’s, Aretha and Ajia’s classes and all were lovely and super knowledgeable.
I recently attended a MO Pilates class, and I could not be more pleased! The instructor created a welcoming and encouraging environment that made it easy for beginners and more experienced participants alike to feel confident. The studio is super nice and the equipment feels brand new. I highly recommend it
M.O. Pilates Harbourside 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.
every recent review 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: "Genuinely such a beautiful studio with super attentive and encouraging instructors!" — Ayisha Vappattu.
Yes — the studio runs both pre-work classes (6am or earlier most days) and evening sessions running past 8pm, which together cover the standard 9-to-6 working day. Saturday and Sunday slots add weekend flexibility. For peak slots (07:00 and 18:00-19:30 are the busiest across most UK boutiques), most members book the week ahead.
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.
