At Viviane Pilates I feel in safe hands. Viviane is incredibly qualified, and constantly strives for learning and developing so that the studio offers the best services for her students. She’s encouraging and demanding in equal parts. The group classes have a limited amount of students so that they stay personal and tailored to each person’s needs, and the 1:1 classes are incredible. From one session to the next, I feel the change and improvement within a safe space to revise and focus on where I need extra attention. I was totally sedentary before, and thanks to Viviane I have built a routine where I can not only trust my body to respond easily to daily physical demands, but also see much more evidence of the use of my body making a direct improvement on my physical and mental health.

I have osteoporosis and have been having 1:1's with Viviane for 2 years now. Viviane is very experienced in training people with a wide variety of injuries and other medical conditions. She really pushes me to train hard which has been brilliant at strengthening me and I feel so much better. In fact my Chiropractor, who has know me 20+years, says I'm in the best shape she's ever known me. Viviane is also very emotionally supportive which is important. Stess has a big effect on how our bodies function and her understanding is very beneficial. I would definitely recommend Viviane.

Viviane is a very knowledgeable and helpful instructor. Her classes are engaging and enjoyable with a variety of themes which keeps it interesting. Viviane builds a close connection to her students and takes an interest in helping them achieve their goals and work around any physical issues they may have long term and on a week by week basis. i wouldn’t be without my weekly class now and really appreciate the extra care and engagement from Viviane when needed. Recommended.
Pilates types offered
What you can practice at Viviane Pilates
Viviane 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do members say about the instructors at Viviane Pilates?
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: "She’s encouraging and demanding in equal parts." — Mercè Bruguera.
What should I expect from my first reformer class at Viviane 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.
