I’ve attended prenatal classes led by Abby and Emma in both Honor Oak and Hither Green and they are always friendly, professional and understanding as well as challenging. I would really highly recommend their beautiful studios and well-pitched classes. Thank you both very much for creating a safe space for pregnant women and mothers to exercise safely in a small, personalized environment!
Beautiful little studio. Had Meg instruct in my very first reformer pilates class, and she was great, clear instructions with different levels to try out. I was intimidated at first, but Meg is calm, friendly and made the whole session really enjoyable. Looking forward to the next session.
All classes & practitioners have been excellent. Making me feel comfortable, despite my problems. They give clear explanations & when necessary alternatives when my body just cannot keep up.
Flex Pilates - Honor Oak 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 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: "I would really highly recommend their beautiful studios and well-pitched classes." — Sinead Power.
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.
