My friend and I tried reformer Pilates for the first time at Studio Ninety Eight and we loved it! Our instructor Sophie was so lovely and super patient with us. Lovely environment and interior too. Can’t wait for the next class :)

As a beginner I am having a good time, I’ve stuck to the same instructor: Natasha Douglas. She’s lovely to train with, really gentle but very motivating! Loving the journey so far
I had my very first Pilates class with Priya, and I absolutely loved it! As a beginner, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Priya was so welcoming and made me feel completely at ease. She’s a fantastic teacher—clear, encouraging, and really attentive to everyone in the class. The studio itself was spotless and had a really calming, comfortable vibe. I’m already looking forward to going back!
Studio Ninety Eight - Reformer Pilates in Purley 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.
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: "She’s a fantastic teacher—clear, encouraging, and really attentive to everyone in the class." — Nics.
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.
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.
