I’ve loved the Beginner’s classes. They have been just the right pace and intensity, and Sophie (the teacher) has always made sure to share any adaptations that can be made for those of us dealing with pain or injury. Communication with Dawn is always fantastic, and I’m glad there’s such a warm and inclusive class to go to in my local area. Love these guys!
I must say, attending Ankor pilates was an incredibly rewarding experience. All the instructors were always attentive and really took the time to correct our posture, ensuring that we were doing the exercises safely and effectively, always adjusting to our individual needs. I loved how the class was a perfect blend of strengthening and stretching. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, making it easy to focus and connect with my body. I always left the class feeling both energized and somehow taller. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve flexibility, strength, or overall wellness!"
I’ve been dealing with persistent lower back pain for a while and decided to give Pilates a try. After just one session, I felt a noticeable improvement. The therapist was knowledgeable and targeted the right areas, easing the tension in my lower back. I walked out feeling lighter and more relaxed. Highly recommend for anyone with back issues—definitely a game-changer!
Ankor Pilates 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.
2 of 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: "All the instructors were always attentive and really took the time to correct our posture, ensuring that we were doing the exercises safely and effectively, always adjusting to our individual needs." — Barbora Feketova.
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.
