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.

One of the quiet powerhouses of the classical mat sequence, The Saw blends spinal rotation, hamstring length, shoulder mobility and deep core control.

It’s not just about reaching for your toes - it’s about wringing out the spine, creating space between the ribs and waking up muscles that modern life loves to switch off.

Joseph Pilates believed our bodies thrive on consistent, daily practice and this exercise is a perfect example of why. The more often you do it, the more freedom, alignment and clarity you feel - on and off the mat.

The Saw has your back. Every. Single. Day.
Try it today and notice what changes.

Autumn is a month to slow down, take time to nourish and prepare the body for shorter days, darker nights and cooler mornings.

But that doesn’t mean stop moving. It’s more important than ever to keep up your Pilates practice and generate the warmth from deep within your body.

Let this season be about routine, rhythm and renewal - reserve your space in class and stay connected to your body.

Links in bio to all Tower, Reformer, Mat and Barre classes.

Ever wondered what makes Classical Pilates different?

If you’re working out on a reformer with 5 (or more) coloured springs, you’re not experiencing the method as Joseph Pilates designed it.

Classical Pilates = 4 springs

That’s where the precision, control and real magic happens.

Come and feel the difference on our Reformers - 4 springs, the way it was meant to be.

Pilates has been in my body since 2002 but I only truly discovered Pilates when I was introduced to the Classical system in 2015.

Don’t get me wrong the Pilates I did for 14 years was good, it made me feel strong and I enjoyed it, especially pre and post childbirth.

And so the pilates jigsaw just got a whole lot bigger as I started to piece together what I knew with what I was now learning in the Classical system - the breath, the control, the connection - it all made sense.

When you are ready to dive deeper, seek out a Classical studio that can verify their training and certification - you never know you might just get addicted.

In a world full of Pilates variations, nothing compares to the clarity of the Classical system.

The spring-based apparatus isn’t just resistance - it’s intelligent feedback. Every push and pull deepens your awareness, revealing exactly where you’re strong and where you can grow.

It’s movement that connects you to your body in a way no other workout can.

Come and feel the difference. Your body will thank you for it.
