I have been attending classes at Body in Mind Pilates studio for many years. I love attending these classes because the teachers are friendly and professional. The classes are small allowing for teachers to offer individual support when they think corrections need to be made to posture. Excellent value for money classes and no long holiday breaks. Thanks to Louise and team.

5 stars are not enough for The Old Stables Studio! Relaxing surroundings. A warm welcome. I always feel I am in safe, competent hands with exercises suited to my needs. I always finish a session feeling better and more energised than when I started. Louise has supported me through challenging times and shown me that Pilates is for everyone, at any time, whatever their physical capabilities. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Kathy. X
Body in Mind Pilates Studio 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 describe the studio atmosphere positively — recurring descriptors include "welcoming", "calming" and "no judgement". This kind of language pattern, particularly across multiple reviewers, tends to indicate a settled member community rather than a high-turnover commercial environment. If you're new to pilates and concerned about feeling out of place at your first class, this is the indicator most worth weighting.
