I've being going to classes and one-to-one sessions here for many years so I feel I can give an honest review :-). So here we go: 1. All the tutors (Hilary, Emma M and Emma K) are excellent. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional and friendly. 2. The main studio used for classes is always clean, warm and not too big. It can accommodate around a dozen people which means the tutor has the time to help you improve your form. 3. There is another side studio used for one-to-one sessions which includes a reformer and a Cadillac. These pieces of equipment are ideal if you wish to improve your general Pilates, or isolate muscle groups. 4. The general classes and one-to-one sessions are really good value. 5. All the people who attend the classes are very friendly and fun. 6. On a personal note, I started going to Pilates classes because I had back and shoulder problems which improved almost immediately. Now, I never have problems with these areas. 7. Pilates is a great way of improving the quality of your life and I would strongly recommend you try it here. I hope this helps.

Joined the classes this summer and love it. The classes are small so the instructor can offer individuals feedback and modify exercises to your needs. They are also friendly and welcoming, I look forward to going! Emma is a great instructor and over the last 5 months I’ve noticed a real improvement physically and it’s also had an amazing impact on my mental health! So thanks everyone at Pilates Studio Cumbria and my lovely class!

Pilates types offered
What you can practice at Pilates Studio Cumbria
Pilates Studio Cumbria 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.
