Sarah is wonderful. As a complete pilates novice, Sarah clearly explains each movement and offers a variety of levels to make sessions accessible for everyone. For someone with MS, I find these classes protect both my physical and mental health. Sarah's knowledge of pre and post natal is so useful is aiding recovery and strength building. Sorry Sarah, I'll be with you for life!
I attended Sarah’s post natal classes after the birth of my first child and would highly recommend them. Taking your baby to a class could be quite daunting, but Sarah made it so easy, often even holding/distracting babies so their mums could carry on with the exercises. I usually practice yoga so was unsure what I would think of Pilates, but I really enjoyed the classes, the variety of each week and the different levels offered. I would definitely return for pre and postnatal again.
I love Sarah's classes - she's so friendly and welcoming and her classes are always super relaxed. She always gives options and I always leave feeling like I've worked to the right level (sometimes I'm a bit achy the next day - in a good way!). Her postnatal classes are brill - you can bring your pram in and change/feed etc as you need to. And it's lovely meeting other mums with babies around the same age too 😊🧡
SR Pilates UK 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.
2 of 3 recent reviews mention prenatal or postnatal pilates contexts. For pregnancy practice, ask whether the lead instructor holds APPI Pre/Postnatal Pilates or Body Control Pilates Maternal certification — these are the two main UK qualification pathways for safe trimester-aware programming. GP or midwife clearance is typically required from 12-14 weeks; reputable studios will ask about it before booking your first session. One recent member put it this way: "I would definitely return for pre and postnatal again." — Alice Thomson.
Yes — at least one weekday class runs until 20:00 or later, which suits members training after a standard working day. Evening peaks at most UK pilates studios run from 18:00 to 19:30, with later 20:00-21:00 slots usually quieter and easier to book on the day.
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.
