Fera is an inspiring teacher who is positive about her practice and so knowledgeable. I’ve been going to her classes for about seven years and I’m sure that’s why, at 71, my mobility is so good! So glad I found her Pilates!

As a Pilates newbie, I can’t say enough good things about Swansea Pilates. The classes are small, friendly, and not intimidating — perfect for anyone just starting out as well as the more experienced. The instruction is top-notch and delivered with a deep understanding of the practice, so you never feel like you’re floundering. Fera is the real deal — passionate, experienced, and with an almost magical ability to make you feel both challenged and supported at the same time. Every session pushes me mentally & physically. Perseverance is definitely key, but the results? Totally worth it!

What you can practice at Pilates Swansea
Pilates Swansea 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.
