I have been attending Louisa’s Pilates classes for a number of years now and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. My posture, core strength and flexibility has improved vastly and problems I previously had with my knee and hip have disappeared. The classes are fun and Louisa is a great teacher, adapting movements to our individual requirements and working around any health problems we may have. My body has never felt so good! Thank you so much Louisa x
Pilates has been such a positive learning curve about how you can help your body to cope with the many challenges your body faces through life. Louisa is a fantastic mentor, teacher and gives you confidence Thank you
Louisa is a fantastic teacher. Every class is throughly grounded in the principles of Pilates and is informed by Louisa's knowledge of anatomy and physiology - you always feel in safe hands. She's friendly and inclusive which means a lot at a time when you might be forgiven for thinking Pilates is the preserve of super-toned yummy mummies in expensive gymwear. Louisa makes sure everyone gets the most out of the class whatever their age or ability and wherever they are in their Pilates journey. Her cool downs at the end of the class are often the only time I feel properly relaxed, which I really appreciate. If you want to take up Pilates don't be put off by what you see on social media. Louisa is an example of a teacher who makes sure everyone can take part and can benefit from learning how to move in a more functional way. Definitely recommend.

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.

2 of 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.
