I’ve been joining Kate’s classes since I moved to the area 6 months ago and they are fantastic. Kate’s knowledge is excellent and the intimate atmosphere really helps to make sure everyone in the class can reach their full potential. Woodstock Pilates is definitely the best reformer I’ve ever attended - thank you!
Kate was recommended to me by my neurophysiotherapist for continuing help with rehab following a serious spinal injury. This was more than ten years ago and I have been going to see Kate weekly ever since. She is brilliant, with deep knowledge readily applied to solve all sorts of different issues, excellent at coming up with new ideas, and kind and funny as well. I can’t recommend her too highly.
Been with Kate for Pilates for over 10 years. She is more than excellent, she knows me so well and after each session I feel amazing. I can't recommend Kate's Pilates studio enough.
Woodstock Pilates Studio 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.
one of the 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. One recent member put it this way: "She is brilliant, with deep knowledge readily applied to solve all sorts of different issues, excellent at coming up with new ideas, and kind and funny as well." — Mary White.
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.
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.
