Shelley has a lovely way of teaching, she is very encouraging and fun. I like her 'hands on' approach of very lightly correcting your stance if needed (although I feel myself bounce back as soon as she lets go!). Shelley is also good at giving top tips as she moves around the class observing and helping. It's good class for beginners, with Shelley adding on if you want a bit more of a challenge.
Shelley is a brilliant Pilates teacher and has helped me progress my strength building to allow me to begin running again after a hip problem. I suffer a lot less with back pain and I feel like I have a better posture. I always enjoy the classes and feel in a great headspace afterwards. I would definitely recommend her.
Shelley is a great teacher, she really makes the classes fun. Her knowledge keeps growing as she has a real passion for Pilates and is constantly training herself. She has a real attention to detail and gives adjustments or alternatives in an encouraging way.
Empower 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: "Shelley has a lovely way of teaching, she is very encouraging and fun." — Elly Phillips.
