George is the most amazing Pilates instructor and generally great person. She not only runs the most brilliant classes, she does it with care, humour and makes you feel so comfortable. I have been going to her classes to many years now and I'm not sure what I'd do without them. The people in class are so friendly and I look forward to Wednesday mornings because of it. I would recommend By George Pilates to everyone! x
I love George’s Pilates classes, it’s good fun and is very beneficial for breathing, muscle flexibility and keeping the joints working. The classes work at a pace that is suitable for our age group, and George keeps a close watch out if you are struggling or have misinterpreted her instructions. She and Jo (at Rolleston) are both very caring leaders, which is really helpful if you are new to Pilates. We have got to know most of our class and there is a friendly fun atmosphere. I strongly recommend By George Pilates……we are so lucky in Tutbury, Rolleston & surrounding district to have access to expert/friendly Pilates leaders.
I have been attending George’s Pilates classes for approximately 2 years now and I love it. The classes are structured and focus on different parts of the body. I find it very beneficial for my arthritis as the stretching and movement helps a lot. George is very knowledgeable and helps when my positioning is not correct and gives advice if needed. I would definitely recommend joining.
By George Pilates 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: "George is very knowledgeable and helps when my positioning is not correct and gives advice if needed." — Gary Hutley.
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.
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.
