A wonderful afternoon retreat near Romsey in beautiful woodlands. We had a great time in our small group with Beth, who is a brilliant instructor. We went through two classes, had refreshments provided, and were taken on a guided walk through the woods. The woods themselves are so beautiful and aided in making the whole afternoon so relaxing. Would recommend to anyone!
I really enjoyed the “Refresh” morning that Beth provided. It was in a really beautiful and peaceful setting and Beth gave really good instruction on how to do the exercises properly in a very relaxed and supportive environment. I would definitely recommend it to others wanting to have a relaxing morning and do some Pilates exercises. It would be great whether going alone or with a small group.
I had the fantastic opportunity to attended a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon pilates retreat with Beth recently. The woodland setting was incredibly calming and grounding. Beth has such a calming and reassuring presence, holding space for us to slow down, tune into our beautiful surroundings and our bodies. The retreat was a brilliant combination of care and nourishiment for the body, mind and soul. thank you Beth for a beautiful afternoon. x
Simply Thrive Physio and Pilates offers 3 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Clinical pilates combines classical pilates with physiotherapy principles. Sessions are led by chartered physiotherapists or specialist pilates instructors who design individualised programmes based on detailed postural and movement assessment.
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 describe the studio atmosphere positively — recurring descriptors include "welcoming", "calming" and "no judgement". This kind of language pattern, particularly across multiple reviewers, tends to indicate a settled member community rather than a high-turnover commercial environment. If you're new to pilates and concerned about feeling out of place at your first class, this is the indicator most worth weighting. One recent member put it this way: "It was in a really beautiful and peaceful setting and Beth gave really good instruction on how to do the exercises properly in a very relaxed and supportive environment." — Joy Tuttlebee.
Yes — at least one weekday class runs until 20:00 or later, which suits members training after a standard working day. Evening peaks at most UK pilates studios run from 18:00 to 19:30, with later 20:00-21:00 slots usually quieter and easier to book on the day.
Insurance reimbursement for clinical pilates depends on three factors: (1) the lead practitioner must be HCPC-registered as a Chartered Physiotherapist — verify by asking the studio or checking the HCPC public register, (2) your policy must include a physiotherapy benefit, and (3) most insurers (Bupa, AXA Health, Vitality, WPA, Aviva) require either a GP referral or completion of their own self-refer pathway. Standard reformer or mat classes at the same studio are not reimbursable — only sessions led by a chartered physio with a clinical assessment qualify.
