I have Russell for a Bone Strengthening class and privately as a PT. He is a great instructor, very intuitive of his clients. I personally have come along leaps and bounds I my core strength, my range of movement and overall stability. I'd definitely recommend Russell to anyone and feel confident in his teaching/training.
Have been to many Pilates classes over the years ; But Russell Parish’s classes in my opinion certainly stand out as one of the best. He is very attentive individually, to make sure we get the correct positions and best results from the postures. He always pays particular attention to our different injuries. I certainly would highly recommend him as a teacher .. young and old would definitely benefit from his classes …as I have
Russell is a born athlete. His experience as an accomplishment footballer has given him insights in the body and mind. He transfers these insights into well balanced training programmes and knows how to motivate and encourages you to get the best out of your body too.
Parish PT and 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 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: "He is very attentive individually, to make sure we get the correct positions and best results from the postures." — Linda Norvell.
