Luke Williams focus on technique with attention to kind and focused correction for each class member, which is fabulous. Such a positive tone and ability to get you to do that extra effort while maintaining your technique, which is just great. I hope he can start a regular class on Saturday morning. I would definitely sign up every week. I am a regular Pilates reformer member of both James and Luisa’s classes and know what great looks like.
Luke (Williams) is a superb instructor and brilliant teacher. He has such a good understanding of the way the body works and what will help me improve my strength and range of movement. Can’t recommend him enough, I look forward to each week’s session!
APPI Hampstead is a real gem. Directly across the street from Hampstead Heath, it has a great range of classes and therapies. Marina Guarnieri is a stand out instructor at APPI. In addition to a solid reformer session, Marina brings warmth and humour to her sessions and gives individual instruction and attention while keeping the class moving forward. Whether you are a total newbie to Pilates, Intermediate or more hard core with Advanced or Power Reformer, Marina is your go-to. I love her classes and her teaching style, where everyone is welcome and important.
APPI Physiotherapy and Pilates Hampstead offers 3 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Clinical pilates combines classical pilates with physiotherapy principles. Sessions are led by chartered physiotherapists or specialist pilates instructors who design individualised programmes based on detailed postural and movement assessment.
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.
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.
Insurance reimbursement for clinical pilates depends on three factors: (1) the lead practitioner must be HCPC-registered as a Chartered Physiotherapist — verify by asking the studio or checking the HCPC public register, (2) your policy must include a physiotherapy benefit, and (3) most insurers (Bupa, AXA Health, Vitality, WPA, Aviva) require either a GP referral or completion of their own self-refer pathway. Standard reformer or mat classes at the same studio are not reimbursable — only sessions led by a chartered physio with a clinical assessment qualify.
