I joined Pilates People remotely during lockdown and never considered returning to my local gym. Although I join classes on Zoom, I feel far more part of a group, and known by the instructors, than I ever did in the ever changing clientele of a town gym. Because of the constant groups, instructors [all of whom are super informed and passionate] know their classes and can pitch sessions to suit, always with lots of options. I am constantly amazed by how they manage to find new variations on, or approaches to, the classic moves and sequences. The ''on demand" sessions on the website are ideal for weeks when your own timetable doesn't link with your regular classes. It's not cheap, but it's worth every penny. My only quibble is that the website takes a bit of getting used to.

Pilates types offered
What you can practice at The Pilates People
The Pilates People 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.
