Robyn is an excellent and very knowledgeable Pilates instructor, who is very passionate about what she does and is very proactive at helping class members reach their goals. Classes are always different each week and Robyn is very effective at explaining and helping us understand which muscles and parts of the body are impacted by certain moves. Robyn is very attentive towards all class members, ensuring they are able to carry out the moves and adapting when/where necessary and accordingly to ability. I personally have found that my core has become stronger and my joints are much less stiff, which in turn has lead to increased flexibility all round. I have increased muscle tone and strength. Robyn’s classes have definitely improved strength in one arm where I have lymphodema. With Robyn’s guidance, classes have helped towards increasing my confidence whilst reducing swelling in my arm through exercising correctly leading to improved lymph fluid circulation through deep breathing and all in a safe manner. Great classes with an excellent instructor, whose aim is to always do her best each week to support her clients enabling them to get the best from their Pilates practice.

I have been attending pilates sessions with Robyn for over 2 years now and have greatly benefited physically from her expert tuition. Robyn is a knowledgeable, supportive and helpful pilates practitioner. She adapts her teaching to a range of abilities within her classes and keeps a careful eye on individual performance and correct execution of movements. Practice is supported by ability differentiated, online videos and a ‘catch up’ system for missed classes is a great plus. Robyn’s class teaching is varied, well planned and supportive of individual abilities, suitable both to the novice and to the more experienced student. Her classes are really enjoyable and always take place in a friendly ,encouraging setting.

I have been doing pilates in Robyns group for about 4 months. I feel so much better in many ways; I can feel muscles I forgot I had, any aches and pains are fading away and my blood circulation and digestive system seem to be working more efficiently. Robyn has expert knowledge of the mechanics of the body and is passionate in sharing the positive effects pilates can offer.
Pilates types offered
What you can practice at Macclesfield Forest Pilates
Macclesfield Forest 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 Macclesfield Forest 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.

One recent member put it this way: "Robyn is an excellent and very knowledgeable Pilates instructor, who is very passionate about what she does and is very proactive at helping class members reach their goals." — H Frankpitt.
Are there evening classes at Macclesfield Forest Pilates?
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 Macclesfield Forest 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.
