I absolutely love attending Beth's classes! As a classic inflexible gent in my early 40s, I knew I needed to do something to address my inflexibility. I was a bit apprehensive about getting started, but needn't have been. From the first session, Beth made the whole experience welcoming, approachable, and genuinely enjoyable. The classes are perfectly paced. Each session covers a great range of movements and techniques that have noticeably improved my flexibility and movement. Just as importantly, the atmosphere is super friendly, which makes it easy to relax and focus. I’ve found the sessions to be a brilliant way to clear my head after a stressful day. I honestly look forward so much to them now. Beth is a fantastic teacher and clearly a highly skilled practitioner who knows how to guide everyone at their own level. I’ve been absolutely delighted with the results so far, and I would thoroughly recommend the classes to anyone!

I've been a rock climber for nearly 25 years and as I get older I am finding the strain it puts on my body is increasing. My wife suggested I join the pilates class she had been enjoying, and I've now been going to one of Beth's classes in Thorverton for over a year. The difference it's made to my core strength, balance, and general fitness is huge. Beth's knowledge is extensive and she has a real talent for getting the best out of everyone in the class. I always finish a class with new ideas to try, and always feel like I've had a challenging workout! I now genuinely believe that pilates can be a valuable tool for anyone who practises another sport, as well as a great way to improve core strength, fitness and posture. Thank you Beth!

I have been working with Beth in 1-2-1 sessions for a few months. Beth has really personalised them and focused on my needs and progress. Beth is a great teacher - really patient and got the balance just right between developing my understanding of Pilates and improving my core strength and balance. Highly recommend 1-2-1 sessions before starting a group class.
Pilates types offered
What you can practice at Exe Valley Pilates
Exe Valley Pilates offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Reformer Pilates
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
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.
