Had my first Pilates class with Sydra today and loved it! She’s super welcoming, explains everything so clearly, and made me feel comfortable as a complete beginner. Left the class feeling strong and relaxed I can’t wait to go back!

I’ve been attending Sydra’s reformer Pilates classes since last summer, and I genuinely look forward to them. Sydra is a warm, friendly instructor who knows how to challenge you while still being patient and encouraging. She creates an environment where you feel supported, no matter your level. I highly recommend her classes- especially if you’re a beginner looking to build confidence and technique.
I booked 3 private sessions with Sydra while I was visiting family in London. The studio was very welcoming and a beautiful design. I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with her and got a great workout each time! I'm now on the hunt for a local Pilates studio that can live up to Sydra's sessions. Highly recommend.
The Secret Flow | Hot Pilates Studio 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 describe the studio atmosphere positively — recurring descriptors include "welcoming", "calming" and "no judgement". This kind of language pattern, particularly across multiple reviewers, tends to indicate a settled member community rather than a high-turnover commercial environment. If you're new to pilates and concerned about feeling out of place at your first class, this is the indicator most worth weighting. One recent member put it this way: "She’s super welcoming, explains everything so clearly, and made me feel comfortable as a complete beginner." — Ese Omor.
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.
