I have been attending the mum and baby classes at Exhale for a few weeks now and am absolutely loving it. It's so nice to be able to do something for me where baby is welcome. The classes are challenging (in a good way) and the studio is just lovely. Donna is very welcoming and helpful. She also helps out as much as poss if / when babies get a bit cranky, giving us mums the space and time to focus on the class and the burn! 🔥💪 So thankful for these classes 🙏😁
I had never done Pilates before and honestly wasn’t sure what to expect but from my very first class at Exhale I was hooked. Donna is incredibly welcoming, patient and knowledgeable. Donna gave the time to explain each movement and make sure you’re comfortable and confident, no matter your level. The studio itself has such a calm, uplifting atmosphere, it’s beautifully designed and has this peaceful energy that instantly puts you at ease. Each class feels both challenging and rewarding and I’ve noticed such a difference in my strength, posture and overall wellbeing in just a short time. Exhale has genuinely made me fall in love with Pilates and discover a new passion I never knew I had. I can’t recommend Exhale enough!
I've been going to Exhale for a couple of years now and there is nowhere local that even comes close to comparing. Donnas' knowledge and experience are unmatched, especially in a space where so many new reformer studios are opening without the same depth of training. At Exhale you can trust you are in safe hands with someone who truly understands the practice especially when it comes to alternatives for people with different capabilities.
Exhale Pilates Studio 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 describe the studio atmosphere positively — recurring descriptors include "welcoming", "calming" and "no judgement". This kind of language pattern, particularly across multiple reviewers, tends to indicate a settled member community rather than a high-turnover commercial environment. If you're new to pilates and concerned about feeling out of place at your first class, this is the indicator most worth weighting. One recent member put it this way: "Donna is very welcoming and helpful." — Nicola Gavan.
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.
