Studio Pilates Exeter provide an excellent service with brilliant instructors. As someone new to reformer Pilates the staff have been very friendly and encouraging. I’ve been going weekly for a year now and have definitely seen an increase in tone and strength. I can now tackle exercises I couldn’t before. Thanks to the fantastic team. Emily and Matt in particular have been really encouraging and helping me to get stronger.
My favourite pilates studio! The instructors are very professional and the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. Also feels very inclusive and people of different age and mobility can attend and they will always accommodate and adjust exercises The classes are also not over the top and provide a good workout

Studio Pilates International Exeter 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 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. One recent member put it this way: "The instructors are very professional and the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming." — Nelly.
Yes — at least one weekday class starts at 06:30 or earlier. This makes the studio a practical option for members who want pilates before commuting to work. Pre-7am slots typically fill the fastest at UK boutiques; consider booking 3-7 days ahead if your routine depends on a specific time.
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.
