Mat Pilates classes

Our mat Pilates classes use the Stott Pilates method to build core strength and improve flexibility. Sessions cater to all levels from complete beginners to advanced practitioners. The classes focus on controlled movements, proper alignment, and breath control to enhance functional fitness.

Reformer Pilates sessions

Reformer Pilates utilises spring-based resistance equipment to provide a comprehensive full-body workout. These sessions build strength, improve posture, and increase joint mobility while accommodating individual fitness levels. The equipment allows for precise movement analysis and modification.

1-1 private sessions

Tailored one-to-one sessions address individual goals, injuries, or specific conditions. Instructors create custom programmes focusing on rehabilitation, performance enhancement, or personal development. Sessions include real-time feedback and progression tracking for optimal results.

Pregnancy Pilates

Specialist Pilates classes designed for expectant mothers at all stages of pregnancy. The sessions focus on maintaining strength, improving posture, and preparing for labour. Exercises prioritise core stability, pelvic floor engagement, and gentle stretching.

Rehabilitation Pilates

We specialise in rehabilitative Pilates for clients recovering from injuries or managing chronic conditions. Working with healthcare professionals, we develop programmes that address disc issues, post-surgical recovery, and mobility limitations. Sessions focus on safe progression and functional improvement.

Been going to Purely Pilates for years following a back injury, through a combination of mat classes and studio sessions I have been able to return to full working life in nursing. All the instructors are really friendly and can adapt the exercises to your injury needs, if you have any ! Highly recommend them, don’t hesitate to give them a try !

The fact that I’m pain-free and active after retirement is down to Purely Pilates. It’s a studio with superb teachers who combine high levels of expertise with empathy. Each class is precisely planned with the needs of the individuals in mind, so you feel safe, looked after and able to make progress. Karen has a real gift for teaching. She’s thoughtful and perceptive in ways that make her classes work for a variety of needs and ages.

I wouldn't be without my twice-weekly sessions and this studio comes highly recommended. Thinking of taking up Pilates? This is a great place to start.

I think Pilates is a great way to relax and feel stronger at the same time, I particularly like the fact that I feel taller, more upright and in contact with my core when I leave. Pilates and running are the… perfect exercise combination for me. Thank you Charlotte for your attention to detail and sense of humour on Wednesday evening.
