Pilates Reformer Received from S E Jackson..
You will not find a reformer Pilates studio with a lovelier, more genuine, kinder staff than Power of Pilates. I started my reformer Pilates journey midway through my pregnancy and it has changed my life. I am now a total convert. My labour was great and my body bounced back to 90% pre pregnancy within 2-3 weeks after giving birth due to my strength gained by working with Saskia -alongside lots of advice and support from Claire. At 35 that ain't half bad! To write a full review about Saskia would be like an essay so I will keep it short and simply say she is one of the most intelligent, caring, funny and talented people I’ve ever met. She makes pilates exciting, interesting, effective and fun. She has honestly been the highlight of my weeks for months now. She is AMAZING. Claire is beyond kind, dedicated and superb. She is always so quick to respond and so generous with her time and advice. I feel so very very lucky to have found this studio and these two wonderful women. Thank you both for everything! If you are looking for somewhere to continue or start Pilates and feel safe, secure and trained well then this is your place x

Pilates Reformer Received from David..
I have been taking Reformer classes with PoP for the last 3 months or so. Getting slightly older (64) and having a history of back issues I felt I needed to increase my core strength and flexibility so that I could continue to enjoy and improve my sporting activities; I thought that Pilates could be beneficial and I’m delighted to say that it has proved exactly that. Working with PoP has been extremely easy and efficient. They are an excellent team and I would thoroughly recommend them. Enjoy!

Pilates 1:1 session Received from Gemma B
I’ve had a number of 1:1 sessions at Power of Pilates using the reformer. I have some health issues and wanted to make sure I was exercising safely and building up strength. I’ve been amazed at how much better and stronger I feel after just a few sessions. Having the 1:1 has meant everything was done at my pace and I’ve been so happy with the changes I’ve felt in my strength.

Pilates Mat Received from Kevin..
Amazing, is changing my life, I've had back issues for years. Now I can start playing sports again. They know how to treat a beginner and teach you how to get yourself better. Should have done this years ago

Reformer Pilates Received from Mel..
I started Reformer classes 2 months ago and have never done exercise that was so enjoyable, with such good results. I'm now trying to fit in 2 classes a week and mixing this up with some mat work classes. The instructors at Power of Pilates are really knowledgeable and make you feel very welcome. The classes are never the same and at there are plenty to choose from throughout the week. I've noticed improvements in my posture, strength, muscle tone and I think my outlook has become more positive since starting the classes. I'm determined to continue, I'm hooked!

Mat Pilates Received from Polly
I have been going to Power of Pilates since 2007 and still absolutely love it! The instructors are amazing and really help you develop your technique. They take into account of any individual limitations and injuries you have and provide alternatives for you instead, so you always feel part of the class. Every class includes different levels of the same exercise to cater for different people’s abilities. The online classes are easy to access and the instructors are still able to give feedback to you or challenge you. I cannot rate them highly enough!

Pilates Matwork Received from Carrie
I have been attending classes at Power of Pilates for 5 years now and can't recommend them highly enough. The classes are always well structured, varied and there is always a range of levels of difficulty within the class. The teachers are fantastic and my back has never been happier!
