I joined Loving Pilates a year ago and never looked back. Reforma and Tower classes transformed the way I move and feel. All muscles were strengthened which made me much more flexible and daring in the type of exercises I can do. Rikki gives her all to everyone who joins the class. It's obvious from the very begging that she understand the mechanics of the body extremely well. She makes difficult exercises fun while improving your strength and resilience. Ange and Lynette, the other instructors, are as knowledgeable and supportive. I am so lucky finding Loving Pilates on my doorstep and being able to enjoy great physical improvements with the team that makes it fun. Thank you very much for the support. This is a fantastic place to bring your physical confidence back. Highly recommend.

We have been going to Loving Pilates twice a week for over a year and simply couldn’t recommend it enough. Our teachers Marcella and Anna are absolutely wonderful and very skilled, precise and knowledgeable. We have noticed an improvement in our strength and flexibility and my back is no longer a daily problem and pain for me. It is so liberating. The studio is very well equipped and the classes are varied and interesting. We also have a lot of fun. Thank you Marcella, Anna and Rikke.

Pilates types offered
What you can practice at Loving Pilates
Loving Pilates offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Reformer Pilates
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
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do members say about the instructors at Loving Pilates?
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: "Ange and Lynette, the other instructors, are as knowledgeable and supportive." — V S.
Are there evening classes at Loving Pilates?
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.
What should I expect from my first reformer class at Loving Pilates?
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.
What classes does Loving Pilates offer?
Loving Pilates offers reformer pilates, mat pilates. Reformer classes use spring-resistance equipment for deep core and postural work — beginner-friendly and adaptable. Browse the studio's full schedule for current class times and instructor allocations.
