I’ve been attending Sarah’s classes for about 18 month now. Sarah’s such a lovely person as well as a Pilates professional. Each week classes are so well planned covering different areas of the body. Sarah always offers different levels to each move which makes the classes suitable for beginners and the more experienced I love going to the classes and know my body is so much stronger as a result!
Sarah is an absolutely wonderful teacher and is well trained and adjusts the exercises to suit your abilities. She is a joy to be around and has been a real support throughout my time off for my operation and I truly appreciate her holding my place until I’m fit to return. I would highly recommended her and her classes regardless of your fitness level. She also injects lots of fun into the routines, which are explained in advance often advising us of the muscle groups being trained in advance. I love the classes and have seen the benefits
Amazing teacher, brilliant classes with friendly atmosphere and easy to follow instructions. Highly recommend Pure Pilates!
Pure Pilates with Sarah 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: "Sarah is an absolutely wonderful teacher and is well trained and adjusts the exercises to suit your abilities." — Vanessa Hart.
