I can’t say enough about how attending classes at Simply Pilates has changed my life! After I was gifted an introductory package by my daughter I decided to sign up for twice weekly private sessions. Just after starting I put my back out (at home) which almost made me stop. However my teacher Jayne encouraged me to continue and tailored the class to accommodate my back pain. I have had an amazing recovery and am feeling so much better. It’s a really good workout but more importantly it is totally safe. As a 67 year old with bad posture I feel that I am making progress, getting stronger and feel both mentally and physically better than I have been in years! The class is never boring as we move from one set of exercises or equipment to the next quite rapidly and every part of the body gets worked on. Simply Pilates is a small studio, in a cute neighbourhood where you can stop for coffee after your workout. It’s light and clean and airy and a welcoming place to work on your fitness goals. I’m hooked!!

The best place you could imagine for Pilates. It’s a place where you feel free to be yourself, without too much pressure, and without feeling the pressure of performance. Francesca is truly a very skilled, professional instructor with a wonderful personality. So, after pretty much trying all the Pilates places in the Chelsea and Battersea area, I am super happy to have found this place, where I’m already seeing results after just a few sessions, and where I feel at home. So, thank you so much for the work you do and for opening this fantastic place.🙏♥️

Pilates types offered
What you can practice at Simply Pilates London
Simply Pilates London 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 Simply Pilates London?
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: "Jayne is an excellent and attentive teacher and I would really encourage anyone looking to start Pilates classes to book classes here." — Jane Foord-Kelcey.
Are there evening classes at Simply Pilates London?
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 Simply Pilates London?
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.
