I started Celia’s Pilates class in July. I’m so impressed with her ability to instruct in detail whilst ensuring that we are breathing the Pilates way. The sessions are excellent for improving the core, balance and sculpting. We use balance pods, Pilates ring and other implements that all intensify the experience and improve outcomes. Mostly though it’s Celia herself that makes the session so worthwhile. She is just so calm and with a wealth of knowledge and skill.
Celia is an amazing instructor. She gives options for moves for different ability levels and there’s loads of variety in the classes. We use weights and equipment so always interesting. My core strength has significantly improved from doing her classes plus the community feel at the classes is wonderful
Celia is a fabulous Pilates teacher. I’ve been going to her classes for more than a year and never get bored. Celia changes the exercises regularly and the equipment we use. She takes time to explain the exercises fully. Gives variations on them to cater for all abilities. Also explains breathing techniques to get the best out of your exercises. If your looking for a Pilates class then I’d definitely recommend Celia.
Pilates by Celia Johnson in Preston 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: "Celia is an amazing instructor." — kathryn fedun.
Yes — the studio runs Saturday classes. Weekend mornings (08:00-10:30) are typically the busiest slots at UK pilates studios; if you prefer a quieter session, the early afternoon often has more availability.
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.
