The Pilates Studio Devon

I can’t recommend this Pilates studio highly enough. Lou is such a welcoming and supportive instructor and truly accommodates all abilities. Her attention to detail is exceptional, and she has an amazing ability to clearly describe each exercise and articulate the correct positioning, which really helps optimise strength while avoiding injury. I’ve progressed so much over time and can genuinely see and feel the results. On top of that, the studio itself is absolutely beautiful. I feel so lucky to have found Lou!

I can’t recommend Pilates Studio Devon highly enough. Lou is an exceptional teacher, and the quality of instruction here is in a completely different league from many of the Pilates classes I’ve tried elsewhere. They offer true, traditional Pilates — not a fast-paced fitness class with Pilates-inspired moves, but a thoughtful, precise practice that focuses on correct alignment, controlled movement, breathing, and deep core strength. Lou has an incredible depth of knowledge and an eye for detail; she explains why you’re doing each movement and makes subtle adjustments that make a huge difference. What really sets Pilates Studio Devon apart is the balance between strength and mind–body connection. Sessions leave me feeling stronger, more stable, and physically supported, but also calmer and more grounded mentally. It’s challenging in a quiet, intelligent way — you work hard, yet leave feeling restored rather than exhausted. Lou creates a supportive, professional environment where every body is respected and every movement has purpose. Whether you’re new to Pilates or have practised for years, you feel safely guided and genuinely cared for. If you’re looking for Pilates that builds real strength, improves posture and mobility, and supports both physical and mental wellbeing — this studio is outstanding.

The Pilates Studio Devon is very well set out and equipped. Good location with parking. Louise creates a calm and welcoming atmosphere. I find Louise a great teacher, classes are well planned and focussed. The Pilates movements are explained so you understand their purpose, how your body should make the movement and what it should feel like. In the small group equipment class Louise gives individual attention and adapts the movement for your needs to make sure you exercise safely. Classes are also fun with lots of encouragement!
