“Small classes so Vida knows us all individually, often altering exercises for individuals.”— Claire Evans

I can’t recommend Vida’s classes enough. Excellent knowledge of anatomy often referred to in class to help us understand what we are working on. Small classes so Vida knows us all individually, often altering exercises for individuals. I’ve been to various Pilates classes before and these are by far the best.
Thank you Vida! I am told for a nurse friend that Pilates is the one exercise we should all be doing to keep our bodies moving. Vida is an expert in her field and I always feel soooo much better after a class, thank you Vida 🙏.
Beautiful, bright and clean studio space with a great range of equipment. Vida is an excellent Pilates instructor with extensive experience of helping people at all abilities and she takes your needs into account when teaching you. The class sizes are small so you will get the support your need. As someone with chronic pain I feel safe in her classes and her teaching has strengthened my core and given me ways to manage my pain in a positive way.
Thrive Pilates Movement and Wellbeing 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 use language suggesting personalisation — "tailored to my", "adapted for" and "small group" recurring as patterns. For reformer pilates particularly, instructor responsiveness to individual range, restrictions and goals is the difference between a generic group class and a genuinely useful session. This signal is especially relevant if you have a specific injury, postural concern or pregnancy adaptation requirement. One recent member put it this way: "Small classes so Vida knows us all individually, often altering exercises for individuals." — Claire Evans.
