Other Pilates classes can be too big and just monotonous - not Holly's. Groups are small enough for Holly to be able to make sure each exercise is suitably tailored to meet individual needs, plus each week she changes the routine, both by varying the equipment and introducing new exercises. Holly's got deep knowledge of how our bodies work and what each exercise is doing - and her pupils are living proof how effective her tuition is!
I've been doing Pilates in St Albans with Holly for years. She's a great teacher and really welcoming, she's always coming up with new exercises to challenge us and I really like the way she tells us the muscles we're trying to target - as sometimes in Pilates the exercises are so precise you have to engage your brain!
I've been going to Holly's classes for longer than I dare think about and quite honestly they get better and better. An excellent teacher, welcoming environment and really focused exercises.
Centre Pilates St Albans 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: "Holly's got deep knowledge of how our bodies work and what each exercise is doing - and her pupils are living proof how effective her tuition is!" — Ann Lang.
