Expert Pilates Classes in Cambridge
I am Rachel Buckley, a comprehensively trained Pilates teacher based in Cambridge, offering Reformer, Studio Equipment, and Mat Pilates classes since 2016. My practice caters to clients of all levels, from beginners to intermediate-advanced, with a focus on building strength, improving mobility, and managing aches and pains. I specialise in post-rehabilitation Pilates, working one-to-one with clients recovering from surgery or injury, and have developed expertise in supporting hypermobile individuals through both professional training and personal experience. My classes incorporate alignment-focused techniques, resistance bands, and weight-bearing exercises to enhance postural strength, balance, and bone density. I maintain small class sizes (8-10 people) to provide individualised feedback and modifications for injuries or conditions like osteoporosis.I utilise full studio equipment, including the Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and Ladder Barrel, alongside somatic techniques such as Moving Fascia to address pain and fascial mobility. I hold live-streamed mat classes and offer flexible booking options, including drop-in sessions and half-term blocks. My practice is informed by ongoing professional development, including training with Polestar Pilates educators and certification in Moving Fascia methods. I prioritise client safety and comfort, conducting postural and movement assessments during initial private sessions and adhering to a 24-hour cancellation policy.

Reformer Pilates
Private Reformer Pilates sessions utilise full studio equipment to improve strength, mobility, and body awareness. Tailored to individual needs, these classes address injuries, chronic pain, and postural imbalances through customised movement sequences. The resistance-based apparatus provides real-time feedback for enhanced muscle engagement and movement precision.
Mat Classes
Live-streamed mat Pilates classes focus on alignment, postural strength, and mobility. Small groups allow personalised corrections while resistance bands and weight-bearing exercises build muscle strength and bone density. Sessions accommodate injuries and medical conditions with adaptable movement options.
Post-Rehabilitation
Specialised Pilates programmes aid recovery from surgery or injury using equipment-assisted movements and fascial release techniques. Sessions restore functional mobility, address pain patterns, and rebuild strength through progressive, therapist-guided exercises tailored to individual rehabilitation needs.
Hypermobility Support
Targeted Pilates instruction addresses hypermobility challenges through stabilisation exercises, fascial work, and joint protection strategies. Drawing from personal experience and professional training, sessions improve proprioception, reduce pain, and build sustainable movement habits for hypermobile individuals.
