This class was my first ever experience with Pilates or exercise of this type. Erin walked us through everything and was so incredibly supporting with form and boosting confidence. Already booked again. Such a beautiful studio with a good vibe for everyone to become comfortable
Pilates types offered
What you can practice at Solar Pilates Studio
Solar Pilates Studio 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the atmosphere like at Solar Pilates Studio?
every recent review 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: "Very friendly, warm and welcoming!" — Bmd 555.
Can I fit Solar Pilates Studio around a full-time job?
Yes — the studio runs both pre-work classes (6am or earlier most days) and evening sessions running past 8pm, which together cover the standard 9-to-6 working day.

What should I expect from my first reformer class at Solar Pilates Studio?
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.
