⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been going to Laura’s Pilates classes for over 2 months now and I’m loving it! 💓 The vibe is very chill and welcoming, and every week we switch things up and work different muscle groups. Laura is super supportive and encourages you in the best, most positive way. I even got my friends to join, and now it’s become our weekly ritual - the most wholesome way to move your body and actually look forward to working out. 10/10 recommend! 🙌
My husband and I were looking to do pilates but as we have no experience and poor coordination we didn't want to do a group. I contacted Laura to see if she could accommodate us for a couples class and she kindly agreed. Laura makes pilates look easy, she has the flexibility of a contortionist but not once has she made us feel bad for our lack of flexibility. We have never sweat or shaken so much when we first started, however as the weeks have progressed we both feel physically stronger. Our pre existing injuries don't niggle as much either. Laura is a fantastic instructor and has a wicked sense of humour which makes the session fly past. We both highly recommend Laura. If you are considering pilates try a session with her. The location is central fareham, the studio is modern and clean and the banter is on point.
Laura’s Pilates classes are the highlight of my week. I’m feeling more toned and feel really good after a class. Laura is very supportive and a lovely person. Would highly recommend her classes.
Pilates with Laura 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: "Laura is a fantastic instructor and has a wicked sense of humour which makes the session fly past." — Helen Vaughan.
