A wonderful Pilates class which I've attended for approx 12 years! Sally is very attuned to all her client's needs. Classes are balanced in terms of just the right amount of challenge but also fun. Thoroughly recommend.

I have been attending Sally’s Pilates classes both in person and online for over 5 years now and throughly enjoy the sessions. She is an excellent teacher, who is professional and attentive to attendees individual needs. Highly recommended!

I can thoroughly recommend Sally, having done her Pilates class for ten years. The first few years I went to her class in Birstall, then (since the onset of Covid) I've done an online class from home. Either way works. Sally is an excellent teacher and makes her classes enjoyable, explaining alternative easier moves if required.
Pilates types offered
What you can practice at Ashfield Pilates
Ashfield Pilates 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.
