Sue has been very professional, enthusiastic and her classes always are refreshing. She is so good at adapting everything to suit individual abilities and considers all health needs. I undoubtedly benefit from attending her classes each week and a 1:1 session was most beneficial. Sue is a very professional and knowledgeable practitioner and teacher. I can thoroughly recommend and I will keep attending! Thank you Sue
Sue is a brilliant Pilates teacher. She blends patience, enthusiasm, and attention to detail so effortlessly, and always brings such a great sense of humour to her classes. She makes everyone feel comfortable and supported, taking the time to check in with each of us to make sure our technique is right. As a newly trained Pilates instructor myself, I love coming to Sue’s classes to keep learning and growing — I always know I’m in trusted, experienced hands. Thank you, Sue, for everything!
Sue is the ‘core’ of the reason the classes are so good. My first time doing Pilates, recommended by a client as she recommended Sue to be lovely, great teacher. From the beginning Sue has been so welcoming, approachable and I always look forward to my class as the atmosphere is relaxed, non judgemental thanks to Sue’s way of teaching. I’m feeling some benefits.
SG 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.
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: "Sue is a very professional and knowledgeable practitioner and teacher." — Mary Hobson.
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.
SG PILATES offers reformer pilates, mat pilates. Reformer classes use spring-resistance equipment for deep core and postural work — beginner-friendly and adaptable. Browse the studio's full schedule for current class times and instructor allocations.
