I would highly recommend Everybody Pilates in a heartbeat. They are so professional but friendly and the best thing is whatever your body needs, they can help you adapt it to fit an exercise. Another great thing is the classes are small so you get great tuition! I love my twice weekly classes and it doesn’t feel right if I don’t go!
Had a fabulous first session (ever) with Anna! She provided great guidance and thoroughly explained the effects of each exercise on the body! Extremely friendly staff! Highly recommended!
I have been going to Everybody Pilates for over 10yrs and I recommend that anyone who is thinking about Pilates but not sure should try here. Amy the owner sets a very high standard and all the teachers are excellent being both knowledgeable and welcoming. A few special shout outs for Kerry, Audrey, Georgie and Nat as I attend their classes most regularly but all the teachers there are really great. The whole studio has a super friendly feel and no matter how new you are you will be made to feel welcome.
Everybody Pilates - Southsea 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: "Amy the owner sets a very high standard and all the teachers are excellent being both knowledgeable and welcoming." — Isabelle Sutherland.
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.
