Had my first-ever Pilates session today and couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. Amy was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, friendly and made me feel completely at ease from the start. She explained everything clearly, offered thoughtful adjustments, and created such a welcoming environment. I left the session feeling stronger, more aware of my body, and already looking forward to the next one. Highly recommend her to anyone new to Pilates or looking for a great instructor!

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.
