What our clients say

The Wall Tower classes have taken my Pilates experience to another level

I’ve learnt to stabilise my core through Pilates and my horse and I are able to jump a whole course maintaining rhythm, breathing and balance. Thank You!

Sophie at Pilates works has changed my life. She has so much empathy and is a wonderful teacher. Nothing is too much trouble and she constantly comes up with new ideas to sort out any physical problems. Highly recommended

A beautifully stunning and airy studio provides a great setting for a fantastic Pilates experience. Classical Pilates teachers who inspire and safely guide you through the reformer, tower and mat exercises.

I am so glad I found Pilates Works – the most welcoming pilates studio!

I do one reformer and one barre class each week and I’ve noticed the difference in my flexibility and strength over these last few months! I love all of my classes we have a lovely group of people and I feel totally at ease

Great modern studio, small classes and great instructors. I feel totally at ease here and love the wall tower classes. And best of all, my golf has improved loads since I have been doing these classes.

I have been to Sophie now for about 6 months twice a week. She is seriously good. My body has changed and my strength improved so much. I can’t recommend enough.

I wish I’d found pilates years ago – I love the tower classes for the mental focus and the challenge, the reformer for the discipline and the barre classes for the music and the intensity. I love the way I feel straight after, the next day and especially the day after that! I’m officially addicted.

We’re proud to see Pilates Works featured in Stylist magazine this week as part of their spotlight on meaningful movement and the enduring power of Classical Pilates.

Founded by Sophie Hatton, Pilates Works is rooted in the belief that strength and precision should be taught with clarity, compassion and deep respect for the original method. As Sophie shares in Stylist:

🖤
“You strengthen your body from the inside out and activate the smaller muscles that support the joints.” – Sophie Hatton, via Stylist

This recognition reflects our commitment to high-quality, intelligent teaching — and to helping our clients build lasting, foundational strength.

Thank you to @stylistmagazine for shining a light on the practice we’re so passionate about.

The Tower: the unsung hero of Classical Pilates. Its spring resistance and vertical design challenge the body in new dimensions - building control, strength and alignment like nothing else.

At Pilates Works, we’re proud to be the only dedicated Tower studio in the area. Whether you’re deepening your own practice or stepping into the role of teacher, we love sharing this incredible method with curious, committed movers.

Working with @jinsterjp & @david15al and the team this week as they get ready for their marathon challenge next Sunday - using the springs on the Tower and Reformer to stretch, mobilise and prep their bodies (and legs!) for the big day.

They’re running to raise money for Churchtown Playground - a brilliant local cause. If you’d like to support, here’s their GoFundMe link: https://gofund.me/b4e2977b

@sarah_pwrboxcoach sorry you couldn’t be with us 😢

Wishing them all the best of luck next weekend!💥

Yes please to a workout that does it all!
The Pilates Spine Corrector might look unassuming but don’t be fooled - a session on this engages every part of your body. 
Expect deep core and glute activation, spinal and hip mobility and muscles you forgot you had waking up.

Total-body tone? Check.
Posture reset? Absolutely.
Feeling 10ft tall after? Always.

Taking a moment to reflect on the importance of International Women’s Day. While March 8th is a dedicated day to celebrate the achievements of women, uplift voices and push for progress, the impact of strong, supportive communities lasts far beyond a single date. 

At Pilates Works & Reformer Retreats we are proud to be part of a space where women empower women - whether through movement, mentorship or simply showing up for one another. 

Here’s to continuing the conversation, championing each other and celebrating strength in all its forms.

When we go rowing it’s slow and it’s connected. 

This takes deep concentration and control. 

Apple stats measure this, but your mind and body can.

We’d love to welcome you.
