Anna is an amazing gymnastics teacher, and we feel so lucky to have her at Boutique Day Nursery. As the toddler room leader, I can honestly say the children absolutely adore her. They always look forward to her visits and get so excited when it’s time for gymnastics. She brings such positive energy and creates a fun atmosphere where every child feels included. Anna has a natural way of keeping the children engaged while supporting their physical development, helping them build strength, balance, coordination, and confidence. She is incredibly patient and encouraging, motivating the children to try new movements and develop new skills at their own pace. There are always smiles, laughter, and lots of happy moments during her sessions. Anna’s passion and genuine care truly shine through, and she makes a wonderful impact on both the children and the staff. She is a real joy to have as part of our nursery.

Happy Place is everything the name promises to be - and more! The children look forward to taking part with upbeat music and movements. The coaches are tuned in to the children, focusing on age-appropriate skills, offering encouragement when needed. I have watched many children flourish in their gymnastics skills and overall confidence. This is easily one of their favourite activities. Happy Place also provide Pilates classes for adults and Anna is the best! From stretching to strengthening your core, I highly recommend!

My daughter has been with Happy Place for a few years now and absolutely loves it! She is 7 so can get distracted but Coach Anna knows how to get the best out of her and keep her engaged, pushing her to reach new heights and build on her confidence. They have also been accommodating in rescheduling sessions when needed so am very grateful for their kindness and professionalism! Would highly recommend as it is literally what it’s called, a Happy Place ❤️

What you can practice at Happy Place Club Gymnastics & Pilates
Happy Place Club Gymnastics & 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 Happy Place Club Gymnastics & 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.
