I highly recommend Posie Reformer Pilates. Liz is extremely professional, patient, gentle and skilled in her approach. She tailored exercises very well so that I did not exasperate exisiting problems with my neck and shoulder. I was able to continue with an exercise programme when previously I have always needed to stop because of a flare up of symptoms. I feel more confident after my sessions with Liz to start mat based pilates, thank you Liz.
Amazing! I went following knee replacement surgery and the effect of my work with Liz has been fantastic. She listens and observes and so continually adjusts exercises as and when required. The space is relaxing and the sessions both rewarding a good fun. The whole experience has been nothing short of perfect - a great physiotherapist, and warm and positive individual and a result maker! Many thanks and I would highly recommend Liz to anyone.
I had never tried Reformer Pilates & wanted to ensure that I could gain a proper understanding of the reformer bed & various exercises before joining group sessions. What a result in finding Liz! She is super professional, very friendly, a brilliant teacher with lots of understanding about Pilates & obviously physiotherapy. I can’t recommend her enough. I throughly enjoyed my courses with her & will definitely revisit to brush up on technique. If you want to get a great introduction into reformer Pilates. Liz is the perfect choice!
Poise Reformer 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.
2 of 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: "The whole experience has been nothing short of perfect - a great physiotherapist, and warm and positive individual and a result maker!" — Jacqueline Booth.
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.
