I planned a surprise Pilates party for my sister yesterday, and Plum Pilates was absolutely amazing. Their customer service was 10/10 — they responded to all my questions so quickly and were incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. They even played the music we requested and kindly let us enjoy some drinks and cake at the end of the session while we sang happy birthday, which made the celebration extra special. The studio itself was spotless, and Lola, the instructor, was so sweet, professional, and made the experience really enjoyable for everyone. If you’re looking for a place to host a private event, I highly recommend this studio. I only wish it were closer to my home because I would definitely become a regular. Thanks again.

Beautiful studio and really good teaching! It’s nice to do actual, proper Pilates; you can tell the instructors really care. The reformers are amazing quality too.

I tried the new plum pilates studio in islington and it’s exactly the kind of place you don’t want to tell people about because you want to gatekeep it. It’s a beautiful space and the whole vibe feels considered. The instructors actually pay attention and explain things properly, which makes such a difference. If you’re in Islington and thinking about Pilates this is the one.

What you can practice at PLUM Pilates Islington
PLUM Pilates Islington 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.
