Fantastic class by Grace this morning. Just the right side of challenging and a lovely stretch section to finish. Really enjoyed my class and felt really energised afterwards in spite of having a busy morning! I can’t praise Layers Pilates enough having joined in September. The instructors are all superb, and the ambience is great, really laidback, and the small class sizes ensure the instructors can keep a close eye on technique and effort. I’m a runner with a back condition so having a strong core is essential for me, and this is the only class that’s made a difference, after years of frustration at my declining speed and fitness. I cannot believe how much quicker I’ve become since I’ve started at Layers (ran my fastest 5k in 5 years this morning); and can now go for a run without having to lie down afterwards with back pain which makes me so happy :) Thank you Layers from an extremely satisfied customer!

Absolutely great class last night! It was my first experience with a reformer and I loved it! Zoe was brilliant at explaining clearly what we needed to do, and which muscles we were targeting. The studio is beautiful. I’ll definitely be back!

Pilates types offered
What you can practice at Layers Pilates Ltd
Layers Pilates Ltd offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Reformer Pilates
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
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do members say about the instructors at Layers Pilates Ltd?
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: "Having had Zoe and Grace as instructors, it’s clear from their manner and teaching style that they’re both highly experienced and knowledgeable." — Anna Robinson.
Can I fit Layers Pilates Ltd around a full-time job?
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.
What should I expect from my first reformer class at Layers Pilates Ltd?
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.
What classes does Layers Pilates Ltd offer?
