Could not recommend Wendy enough! I had 1 to 1 reformer sessions with her after two mechanical back injuries and some chronic health issues. She helped build my confidence & strength when I was very worried to exercise again after injury. Thank you for the collaborative sessions, helping me troubleshoot source of pain and giving me exercises to continue my Pilates journey!
We have been practicing Pilates with Wendy for several years now and love all the new developments. The live on line give immediate contact and are really motivating. In addition, the on demand classes give flexibility and an enormous choice. The range of classes and varying durations mean that they are always easy to fit in. Wendy delivers a first class service 100% of the time. Zoom and magnapass are easy to use and the whole service is life enriching. Jane & Elizabeth
Elizabeth and I cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful variety offered by Wendy. We take full advantage of the extensive on demand programme, as well as regular 2:1 sessions in the studio.These are varied, tailored to our needs on the day and keep us on track. We have also enjoyed the small group hypopressives tuition and definitely feel stronger for continuing to practice the technique. We feel very fortunate to have such a skilled and knowledgeable teacher and look forward to the next residential retreat. The last one certainly fulfilled our expectations . Jane& Elizabeth
Shropshire 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.
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: "We feel very fortunate to have such a skilled and knowledgeable teacher and look forward to the next residential retreat." — Jane Owen.
Yes — the studio runs Saturday and Sunday 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.
