I haven been going to Kirsty’s mum and baby class for a few weeks and it has been wonderful! It feels like a proper work out for my body, which is what I wanted, but also feels very relaxed and a warm space to meet other mums. Kirsty is very attentive to us all throughout the class, offering helpful guidance (as in most exercise classes I’m wondering if I’m doing it right!). I would definitely recommend this to mums
I have been doing postnatal mum and baby Pilates with Kirsty for 6 weeks now and in that time my diastasis recti has healed and I can feel my strength coming back. She is an excellent instructor and I always come away from the classes feeling great. My 7 mo daughter has great fun at the classes as well.
Kirsty is an amazing Pilates instructor, I’ve been training with her for over a year now. She had such a warm and caring personality, she will always ask how I’m feeling before each session and will tailor the exercises accordingly. Each week we do something different as well as the core reformer exercises. Kirsty always knows how to make little tweaks to make the exercises more impactful ☺️ I always feel good after our sessions, and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking to start Pilates.
Kirsty Rose Pilates OM Bristol 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.
one of the 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: "Kirsty is very attentive to us all throughout the class, offering helpful guidance (as in most exercise classes I’m wondering if I’m doing it right!)." — Rosie Banting.
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.
