⸻ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I absolutely love my classes at Pilates North West. They offer both Reformer and V-Frame Pilates, and every session is friendly, welcoming, and supportive. The tutors are fantastic—knowledgeable, encouraging, and always happy to help. They take the time to correct your technique when needed, which makes a huge difference, and they’re genuinely inclusive of all ages and abilities. You never feel out of place, no matter your experience level. The exercises are perfectly balanced for core strength, body toning, and flexibility, and I’ve noticed real improvements since starting. There are also a great range of class packages, so it’s easy to find an option that suits your schedule and needs. Highly recommend Pilates North West to anyone looking for a positive, effective, and welcoming Pilates studio.

Best thing I’ve done in years deciding to join this amazing studio. It’s a very welcoming inclusive team that support you through the classes and help build confidence week on week. You can attend various class times to suit your availability which works very well for me. All instructors are knowledgable friendly and approachable with a great skill in motivating you to perform to your best. Love my weekly class for the fitness challenge and mental escape from the outside world.

A highly professional set up that balances the demands of Reformer and V-Frame Pilates, the clients individual needs and having some fun to mitigate the challenges of the exercises during the sessions. Tanya, Kat et al are excellent at understanding strengths and weaknesses and developing individuals capabilities through corrections and demonstrations in the group classes(more personalised sessions are available). The sessions have really helped to address my own knee and back weaknesses leaving me confident to continue with other sports. Great facility with the excellent Pavilion coffee shop nearby as a post session incentive. Highly recommend.
Pilates types offered
What you can practice at The Pilates and Reformer Academy Ltd
The Pilates and Reformer Academy 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.
