I have been attending Victoria's Pilates classes for several months now, and I can't express enough how much I appreciate her as an instructor and how strong I feel after her classes. Victoria makes sure that everyone feels welcome and supported, regardless of their experience level. One of the things I love most about Victoria's classes is the positive and motivating atmosphere she creates. I always feel encouraged to challenge myself bit by bit, but at the same time feel no shame if one week I prefer taking it easier. She always keeps the classes fresh and engaging by constantly introducing new exercises and variations. I have seen significant improvements in my strength, flexibility, and overall fitness since I started attending her classes. In summary, I find Victoria an exceptional Pilates instructor. Her expertise, encouragement, and genuine passion for teaching make her classes a highlight of my week. I highly recommend Victoria's Pilates classes.

Victoria is an amazing pilates teacher. She sees everyone and thoughtfully adapts the moves to your needs. She is very patient and pedagogical. Being pregnant I feel very looked after and safe. She gives personalized moves so everyone gets a chance to participate. Victoria is always making it fun to come to class. So many different moves that she brings in for every class is making it interesting. Definitely recommend going, you won’t be disappointed. She is a lovely girl with a warm energy and soul!

I have just completed the postnatal rebuild 2.0 course after having really enjoyed the 1.0. Victoria is a great teacher - sensitive to common postnatal concerns but also offering progressions on all her exercises so everyone feels they get a good workout. This course built on the 1.0 postnatal course and again, I loved it. I feel stronger, fitter and happier. I’d recommend this course to anyone looking to get back into some gentle exercise after having a baby. The recordings of the classes has been a bonus and given me something to work at during the week. Again, I feel I have made a positive move towards regaining my body and hope to join Victoria in her mixed ability classes soon!

What you can practice at Victoria Rock Pilates
Victoria Rock Pilates 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.

What should I expect from my first reformer class at Victoria Rock Pilates?
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.
