For someone who has never taken to exercising, apart from walking, I have thoroughly enjoyed every Pilates class at The Pilates Workshop, since I started going in January. I actually miss it if I can’t go. Phillipa is very good at adapting each movement to the strengths and weaknesses of everyone in the class and the room is welcoming, comfortable and relaxing. The studio is also very well equipped. Thanks Pilates Workshop for getting me to move my body 😁
I love my Sunday morning Pilates. Lisa is friendly and makes everything easy to follow, even for a beginner. The class is very inclusive, with a positive & relaxed atmosphere. I feel so much stronger & more flexible, ready to take on the day. Would highly recommend.
I have taken Pilates with these ladies for over 7 years. The classes are always fun but also of great benefit mentally and physically allowing you to work at your own level. My week wouldn't be without attending a class. Thank you Kate and Sabine
The Pilates Workshop Dunstable 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.
one of the 3 recent reviews describe the studio atmosphere positively — recurring descriptors include "welcoming", "calming" and "no judgement". This kind of language pattern, particularly across multiple reviewers, tends to indicate a settled member community rather than a high-turnover commercial environment. If you're new to pilates and concerned about feeling out of place at your first class, this is the indicator most worth weighting. One recent member put it this way: "Phillipa is very good at adapting each movement to the strengths and weaknesses of everyone in the class and the room is welcoming, comfortable and relaxing." — Ingrid Metcalfe.
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.
