A great pilates studio! I've been going to classes for over a year now and found it really beneficial to both running and general posture and strength. The instructors are friendly and attentive to your needs and techniques, and make the sessions fun for everyone. There are plenty of classes to choose from to suit experience and times (mainly weekdays though)
I was new to Pilates and as a 52 year old male was initially a little reluctant to give it a try. The team at Equilibrium quickly put me at ease and their fun and friendly Reformer classes are perfect to help me battle against joint pain. The studio is clean, bright and fresh and all the staff I have met are lovely.
9 weeks ago, I first went to meet Lindsey to have an assessment on my back and try my first Pilates session. As I bloke, I always thought that Pilates was not really a “man thing” to do but having exhausted everything else to ease my sciatica I thought “why not give it a try?” I joined the mat class with Jenny, as well as having 1-2-1s with Lindsey, and the first week I struggled to properly engage my core and glutes and I had no idea where was pelvic floor was, let alone how to activate it. I was constantly having to put my hand down to stop myself from falling over. Week 4, I noticed the tingling sensation I had had in my left foot for 18 months had stopped! My back felt a bit better supported and I realised how much I was enjoying the sessions. My steadying hand was required less and less. Now, after 9 weeks of work, I can honestly say Pilates is the best thing I’ve done in years. I’ve lost some weight, my stomach is tighter, my legs stronger and I’ve stopped worrying so much about my back “going again”. Lindsey, Jenny and the team are so patient, take time to make sure you are in the right position to be safe and get the most out of each session. The pace is great for beginners or the more experienced. Pilates has made me feel better, in body and mind, than I ever thought possible. I cannot thank Lindsey and Jenny enough for their patience, skill, advice and for showing me that I could do it.
Clinic Equilibrium - Pilates Studio 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: "The instructors are friendly and attentive to your needs and techniques, and make the sessions fun for everyone." — Martin Robinson.
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.
