What can I say...Lorraine's classes are challenging but always great fun! The studio is fab and really easily accessed, being just just off the A38 in Saltash. Lorraine taylors session to meet all abilities and is on hand to support using the correct technique. Can't recommend Bottoms Up Reformer Pilates Group enough!
Lorraine is the absolute best teacher ever. I’ve only been doing reformer for a few months but my confidence and fitness has increased so much. Her classes are so much fun the time flies by!
Lorraine and Amy are fantastic teachers, after attending classes for almost 2 years now, I couldn’t recommend them enough. The sessions are always catered to all abilities ensuring everyone gets the very best out of every exercise. Most of all they are always fun and light hearted with the best atmosphere. I travel 45 minutes each way to attend as I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else! If you’re looking for a reformer class this should be your first choice.

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: "Lorraine and Amy are fantastic teachers, after attending classes for almost 2 years now, I couldn’t recommend them enough." — sarah pickman.
Yes — the studio runs both pre-work classes (6am or earlier most days) and evening sessions running past 8pm, which together cover the standard 9-to-6 working day. Saturday and Sunday slots add weekend flexibility. For peak slots (07:00 and 18:00-19:30 are the busiest across most UK boutiques), most members book the week ahead.
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.
