I wanted to say that I have been going to Pilates with Chrissie for a dew years now, and I just love it. Chrissie is such a fantastic coach. She does different exercises in various levels. She adapts exercises to suit everyone e g. If you gave leg, backpack etc. She is so friendly and explains about various muscles, bones etc. I am going twice a week now so if doubt about joining pilates with Chrissie, don't hesitate. You will reap the benefits
Why I’m wild about Pilates. 3 years ago I was fast approaching 70 - an ex-sportsman developing a stoop from spending years at computer terminals, struggling to get round a golf course without painkillers. I then joined Chrissie’s beginner class and have never felt better! Her small friendly class proved to be the answer to my fitness issues. Varied exercises using different equipment (all provided) have kept the classes fun and interesting, all the while moving forward at my own pace. Chrissie explains everything we do, using her physiotherapy expertise to great effect, and offers different levels for each exercise. My flexibility has improved along with core strength, muscle tone, balance, and even more noticeable my posture has improved along with my energy levels. I’m looking forward to even more positive results as I continue my journey with Pilates and can thoroughly recommend Chrissie’s classes.
Chrissie is an excellent pilates teacher and it certainly helps with her being a highly qualified physio as she explains the benefits of each exercise. She tailors the sessions to suit all ages and abilities and has certainly helped me with balance and core strength. With my session first thing Monday morning it's a great way to start the week, thanks Chrissie
Wild About 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.
one of the 3 recent reviews mention clinical, physio or rehabilitation contexts — back pain recovery, post-surgery return-to-movement, and chronic condition management appear as recurring themes. If you're seeking pilates as part of a rehab pathway, this is a meaningful positive signal. Confirm directly with the studio whether the lead practitioner is HCPC-registered (Chartered Physiotherapist) before booking, since insurance reimbursement specifically requires this credential. One recent member put it this way: "Chrissie explains everything we do, using her physiotherapy expertise to great effect, and offers different levels for each exercise." — Richard Newton.
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.
