Sophie Pilates

Sophie’s Pilates classes never fail to be a great way to exercise & maintain flexibility. Sophie has the rare ability to be professional at all times & yet make the classes fun too. I do Sophie’s classes twice a week & yet they never feel stale & Sophie frequently introduces new equipment & changes the routines and exercises to keep each session different & challenging. Sophie ensures the class capacity is kept at a level which means she can give feedback & advice to each individual, which is certainly not the case in many classes I’ve experienced elsewhere. I thoroughly recommend Sophie’s classes!

I cannot recommend Sophie enough. I believe I I have found an instructor who offers the full package. Even in a group setting, she provides a high level of individual attention, stepping in with gentle corrections to ensure your form is safe and accurate. I especially appreciate how Sophie keeps every session fresh by incorporating a huge variety of exercises and skilfully utilising all the equipment, from the resistance bands and small weights to props like the circle and the pilates bar. Sophie has a way of motivating you to find that extra bit of strength even when you think you’ve hit your limit, all while keeping the atmosphere light and encouraging. I leave every session feeling physically challenged and mentally refreshed.

Sophie is an amazing teacher—I honestly don’t think I’ve ever been this consistent with a class before! I only miss a session if I really have no choice! She also, tries really hard to accommodate alternative sessions if you miss one. Her classes are open to everyone, no matter what your level, and the group size is perfect so she can give you individual support when it's needed. She’s always so great at offering alternative options for different abilities or any injuries or restrictions, which makes a huge difference. She is also very easy to talk to about issues you may have. It’s such a friendly, down-to-earth class with genuinely lovely people, and Sophie brings a really fun, relaxed vibe that makes every session enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try!
