I've been going to Sue's class since January 2023, this was my first experience of Pilates and I have loved it ever since! The class is always enjoyable, good music and a great group of ladies. Sue always makes me feel comfortable is always supportive and encouraging. Sue has great knowledge and can see when I need correcting which is a massive help! so glad I found Sue and her class :)
Sue is a fantastic instructor. She really focuses on each individual even in a group class and is always great at helping adapt for injuries etc. Since doing Pilates with Sue my lower back weakness has significantly improved and my core is much stronger. Sue works us hard but always in fun, friendly way!
I joined Sue's class in January 2024 and I haven't looked back. I was a total beginner with Pilates but I feel that I have come a long way in a few months with Sue's excellent tuition and guidance. Her classes are always well structured and enjoyable. I couldn't recommend her enough!
Carshalton Pilates offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
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: "Sue always makes me feel comfortable is always supportive and encouraging." — Helen S.
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.
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.
