I cannot recommend Kinetic North Pilates more highly. I have been attending lessons at Kinetic Pilates for many years, throughout the various stages of life - including three children and the general "wear and tear" that the middle ages bring. Whilst I have worked with a number of tutors, including the wonder founder, Rebecca, recently I have been working with Riccardo - an excellent instructor, who is observant and intuitive. He was instrumental in helping me return to the studio after a long break, carefully building my strength and flexibility back up while being mindful of my history. What sets Riccardo apart is the balance he strikes: he works you hard and ensures you get the most out of every session, but he is also patient and fun to be around. For anyone looking for a classical Pilates experience at Kinetic North, the team there are excellent. Whether you are navigating the physical changes of parenthood or just looking to get stronger and more mobile, you are in excellent hands.

Absolutely love this studio, with pretty much all equipment you could dream of! Every time I’m in London I make sure to squeeze in as many sessions as I can. My go-tos are Antonio and Riccardo, very knowledgeable and precise, I love how creative they get to make some of the most intricate exercises (for me) really clear and fun - my spine truly thanks you! The place feels really wholesome and airy, even at peak times there’s always the right amount of people so I can still focus and feel looked after. Big plus for the queer friendly and inclusive vibes, and love seeing people of all ages enjoying their sessions. 10/10 recommend!

I have been involved with (actively as a student) of Kinetic Pilates for around 3 years. The instruction is second to none. The knowledge base of the teachers is so acutely precise, you are in your body from the first moment of every session. No messing around, on point, quality teaching. A welcoming yet highly professional studio. I feel Romana (as I picture/understand her) teaching through them.
Pilates types offered
What you can practice at Kinetic Pilates North
Kinetic Pilates North 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.

Honest, specific answers about this studio.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do members say about the instructors at Kinetic Pilates North?
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: "My go-tos are Antonio and Riccardo, very knowledgeable and precise, I love how creative they get to make some of the most intricate exercises (for me) really clear and fun - my spine truly thanks you!" — R S.
Are there evening classes at Kinetic Pilates North?
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.
What should I expect from my first reformer class at Kinetic Pilates North?
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.
