I highly recommend Lisa and Designed Pilates! Lisa's deep knowledge of Pilates, and her commitment to learning is shared throughout her classes and 121s. Every session is thoughtfully planned, catering to all levels, tailoring exercises to suit individual needs. My classes at Designed Pilates are the highlight of my week :)
I started Lisa’s class as a beginner to Pilates and have really enjoyed it. Lisa explains all the moves in detail and this has helped develop my ability in Pilates by not doing too advanced things too quickly. The classes are small and friendly and her new studio is perfect. I would recommend Lisa’s Pilates class to all abilities , it has really helped with my hip injury.
I’ve been attending Lisa’s classes for 7 months having practiced Pilates for a few years. Classes are well led, in a friendly atmosphere so that everyone feels welcome no matter your ability or experience. Every class is different. I particularly like the fact that over the weeks we work on areas of the body in different ways to maintain the challenge! Lisa is very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend these fun classes. I hate to miss them as they make a real difference to my strength and agility.
Designed Pilates 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.
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. One recent member put it this way: "Lisa's deep knowledge of Pilates, and her commitment to learning is shared throughout her classes and 121s." — Amy Mersh.
