I’ve been going to Jane’s class for around 18 months now and really enjoy it. Jane is very knowledgeable and always explains the benefits of each exercise. She provides clear instructions for exercises from beginner level to advanced. The atmosphere at the classes is very relaxed. I feel much stronger and more flexible since attending Pilates with Jane.
I have been going to Jane’s Pilates classes for around 9 months now and really enjoy them. I can feel the benefits too! Jane is lovely and a great teacher. Her classes are relaxed with varied exercises each week and Jane explains the movements very well without being over complicated. Suitable for all levels, highly recommended.
I have been doing Pilates classes with Jane for a long time and feel that I have gained an enormous benefit from them. They help very much with general flexibility, core strength, and balance. I am sure the classes really complement the running and football that I do. Jane is a superb instructor and is very knowledgeable, as well as being friendly and patient. The classes are very well structured, varied each week, and suitable for all abilities. Jane always demonstrates and explains each exercise clearly, gives options for more advanced members, and makes time to go round the class individually. The atmosphere is relaxed and very pleasant, but you always feel that you have worked hard for an hour. It is certainly one hour in my week that I value highly, and I very much recommend the classes. I always feel there ought to be many more men doing Pilates than seems to be the case. You really should give it a try, guys.
Poynton 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.
every recent review 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: "Jane is very knowledgeable and always explains the benefits of each exercise." — Charlotte Griffiths.
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.
