• Reformer Pilates: Uses a specialised machine with a sliding carriage and adjustable springs. It provides resistance and support, making it excellent for building strength, improving posture, and targeting specific muscle groups. Our 1:1 reformer sessions are highly focused.
• Mat Pilates: Focuses on using your own body weight and props (like balls or bands). It is a fantastic way to develop core strength, body awareness, and flexibility. Our 2:1 Mat sessions allow you to train alongside a friend while still receiving detailed correction.

Yes, in many cases Pilates is an excellent tool for rehabilitation. Founder Holley Tierney holds advanced qualifications, including Level 4 Exercise for Lower Back Pain, GP Referral, and Exercise for Disabilities. Because our sessions are private (1:1 or 2:1), we can modify every single movement to fit your physical needs.

Note: If you are currently under the care of a doctor or physiotherapist for a serious condition, we always recommend getting clearance from them before starting a new exercise programme.
