“Joy is a very patient and encouraging teacher and does the exercises along with the class so you can see what exactly you are meant to be doing.”— Fiona Vandepeear

This is a lovely class which is very friendly and not intimidating. Joy is a very patient and encouraging teacher and does the exercises along with the class so you can see what exactly you are meant to be doing. There are a variety of classes to suit all. Each class is varied from week to week so you get a good variety covering all areas and building on level if wished. Ages are broad which is nice. You always come away feeling loosened and invigorated.
I’ve attended Joy’s kettlebells class since she started it up 3 years ago and I still look forward to it every week. It’s the only exercise class that’s kept me interested and committed ever, which speaks volumes about how great a teacher Joy is. I can’t recommend highly enough!
Joy is a fantastic Pilates teacher, I’ve attended and enjoyed her classes for several years now. She strikes the perfect balance of challenge and progression whilst also being supportive and adaptive to injuries, pain and ability. Joy is friendly and a clear and confident teacher. Would highly recommend!
Morningside 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: "Joy is a very patient and encouraging teacher and does the exercises along with the class so you can see what exactly you are meant to be doing." — Fiona Vandepeear.
one of the 3 recent reviews mention atmosphere in less positive terms — "cold", "intimidating" or "cliquey" being the recurring descriptors. This is worth weighting if you're a complete beginner and prone to feeling out of place; consider booking a quieter midweek 10-12am class rather than a peak 6pm session for your first visit, which is the standard pattern that smooths out the experience.
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.
