Excellent teaching from Steph, with a good mix of familiar exercises and new ones to keep us on our toes (literally!). Clear explanations and levels from beginners to advanced, so you can work at the right level for you. I find the classes very relaxing but Steph is good at motivating me to work harder!
Great class. Steph varies the exercises to keep it interesting whilst building on what you've done each week. I've seen real improvement in my core strength & flexibility. The room is a good size and well ventilated, having equipment there to use is really helpful & Steph keeps it all clean. You can even take 'holiday weeks' by emailing in advance so you keep your place.
I love Steph’s Pilates class. It’s varied, relaxed and has different levels of challenge to accommodate different abilities and fitness. Steph is an experienced physio, which I appreciate- (having a medical background as well as fitness instructor/Pilates training); she really knows what she’s talking about and is happy to answer questions. Adding in a zoom class option has been really good too. The class has helped me build my core strength and increase flexibility.
Pilates Oxford 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.
