I started with one to one sessions and then moved on to a group class. This was something that I never thought I would do, but Lauren’s kind and inclusive manner really helped and I now thoroughly enjoy being a part of a group. Lauren is an attentive and knowledgeable Pilates instructor and I have huge benefits from the reformer classes. I leave with a spring in my step every week 🩷
I look forward to Lauren’s reformer pilates class every Friday - it means I start the weekend feeling calm and energised. The classes are small so you always receive lots of support and attention, which is important to me as I have a temperamental lower back. Lauren never needs reminding of anyone’s injuries and tailors the exercise to match each client. The studio is lovely and relaxing - can’t recommend it enough.
I was advised to do pilates to support rehab following an injury. Lauren has a wonderfully calming and supportive style. She is very knowledgeable and professional with a great sense of humour which helped put me at ease quickly. Pilates has done wonders for my back injury and has also helped with other areas where i was suffering from too much time working at a desk! I was nervous to start pilates, but very quickly have found support and friendship amongst the fantastic community of pilates students at the studio too. I thoroughly recommend Lauren and her team of fantastic, skilled, and supportive teachers.
Lauren Hilton Pilates 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 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: "Lauren is an attentive and knowledgeable Pilates instructor and I have huge benefits from the reformer classes." — Lucy Hinds.
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.
