I visited this Pilates studio in Liverpool over a year ago and the experience stayed with me ever since. Their instructor Joanie made such a lasting impression she was incredibly caring warm and attentive and even gave me exercises to try at home for my shoulder. They worked so well that I never forgot her kindness. I also had sessions with Beth back then who was just absolute sweetheart and such talented instructor. One thing that really stands out about this studio is how the instructors speak so highly of one another there’s no sense of competition at all which is something you often see in the States/London but here all genuine support and love for each other. When I recently returned to Liverpool the studio welcomed me back as if no time had passed. They’ve been wonderfully accommodating, especially with my technophobia! Beth greeted me with open arms checked in on my shoulder throughout and genuinely looked after me Beth, your smile is beautiful you have such a natural warmth and it shines through in your teaching. I can’t recommend this studio enough. Thoughtful instructors, a supportive atmosphere, and truly personalised care. Im excited to spend time with you all whilst here in UK. A rare find!

Exercise is important to me, but as I get older with Osteoarthritis setting in, my regular exercise was getting more difficult to maintain. LV Pilates is a saviour. The exercises are really helping to build my strength and improve posture. Exercises seem to target the areas that can't be reached and I can definitely feel an improvement in my mobility. The Teachers are superb and really understand what is needed, adapting exercises to ensure I can access safely and effectively. Beautiful studio and equipment too. Would highly recommend 💚

I joined the studio 3 months as a complete beginner, unfit and inflexible. I was very nervous but immediately made to feel completely welcome and am now completely addicted. All the instructors are brilliant, great at coaching on form and giving alternatives to suit you. Would reccomend this studio to newbies or those experienced in Pilates 💕
Pilates types offered
What you can practice at LV Pilates
LV 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.

Honest, specific answers about this studio.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do members say about the instructors at LV Pilates?
one of the 3 recent reviews mention the instructors in positive terms — words such as "knowledgeable", "attentive" and "encouraging" recur most frequently. Members citing specific cues, form corrections or named instructors is a strong sign of relationship-led teaching rather than transactional class delivery. If instructor depth matters for your decision (particularly for clinical or prenatal-focused pilates), this is a useful positive signal. One recent member put it this way: "Their instructor Joanie made such a lasting impression she was incredibly caring warm and attentive and even gave me exercises to try at home for my shoulder." — Carmen Estelle.
Can I fit LV Pilates 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. Saturday and Sunday slots add weekend flexibility. For peak slots (07:00 and 18:00-19:30 are the busiest across most UK boutiques), most members book the week ahead.
What should I expect from my first reformer class at LV Pilates?
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.
What classes does LV Pilates offer?
LV Pilates offers reformer pilates, mat pilates. Reformer classes use spring-resistance equipment for deep core and postural work — beginner-friendly and adaptable. Browse the studio's full schedule for current class times and instructor allocations.
