Have absolutely loved this studio. I think good yoga/pilates classes are so hard to find and the loft has been full of them. The staff are friendly, welcoming and inclusive yet challenge you. Equipment is clean and MINDBODY is a really easy app to book through. Shilpi’s Tuesday class has been a highlight for me and I am sad that I can’t take her with me to the countryside. Only tweak could be offering some different types of memberships. 5 for £55 per month was a good price for me, but I would have liked to pay a little more for more classes but the full membership at £150 was too expensive which felt like a missed opportunity. I think they could look at some other membership options! But other than that, great experience, fantastic instructors. I will miss this studio!

Today was the first time I’ve done reformer Pilates and I loved it. Sandra, the teacher, gave clear instructions and the small class sizes meant she was able to give us personal adjustments. I’m recovering from an injury and she checked that the exercises were ok and even tailored the class to provide more hamstring work. Lovely clean studio with good facilities. I’ll be back!

The Loft Pilates Studio is the highlight of my day! The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the small class sizes mean the instructors are able to give you the support you need. The studio is fresh, inviting and provides the perfect environment with a variety of classes from reformer Pilates to barre and yoga, so there is something for everyone. The customer service is outstanding - Sarah is always quick to respond and incredibly helpful with booking classes or offering support. Since joining, I’ve seen a huge improvement in my strength, confidence and overall ability. I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re looking for a studio where you feel supported and challenged, this is the place to be! Thank you Sarah and the team.

What you can practice at The Loft Pilates Studio
The Loft Pilates Studio 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do members say about the instructors at The Loft Pilates Studio?
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: "But other than that, great experience, fantastic instructors." — Kathryn Gibbens.
Are there evening classes at The Loft Pilates Studio?
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.

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.
