Supportive, knowledgeable instructors. Thoughtful, body focussed rather than goal oriented classes. Welcoming and friendly.

A welcome from our studio director, Claire

Pilates can feel a little mysterious from the outside.

Reformers, springs, strange-looking equipment — it's natural to wonder if it's for you...

We believe it most certainly is!

At Chapel Allerton Pilates, our beginner clients include people recovering from injury, women in pregnancy or postpartum recovery, people managing chronic pain, and people who simply want to move well and feel better in their bodies for years to come.

Our classes are small, a maximum of 8 people, and our teachers are trained to the highest level in the industry.

You will never be left to figure it out alone.

Which starting point is right for you?​

Pilates is for EVERY body, but not every body is at the same starting point. Below we suggest where to begin for different types of bodies at Chapel Allerton Pilates:

I'm new to Pilates and generally healthy

Start with one of our Beginner or Mixed Level Reformer classes. You don't need any prior experience. Just bring curiosity and an open mind. Our teachers will guide you through everything.

Our introductory offer is the perfect way to ease in: valid for 10 days from your first session.

I have an injury, health condition, or I'm postnatal

We'd recommend beginning with a 1-2-1 session with one of our expert teachers. This gives us time to understand your body, your history, and your goals and to design a practice that supports rather than strains you. After your 1-2-1, your teacher will guide you toward the right group class.

This isn't a barrier to entry. It's how we make sure Pilates actually works for you.

I'm pregnant or just had a baby

We offer dedicated Pre and Postnatal Reformer and spring wall classes with specialist teacher Sadie Smith, who is a nurse who holds advanced training in pregnancy wellness and postnatal recovery. These classes run weekly and are designed for every stage of your journey.

If you're prenatal we recommend waiting until 12 weeks to practice, and post natally you can come once cleared by your GP or from 6 weeks post-birth

What our client's are saying​

we’re here to answer all your questions

Through regular Pilates practice, you will increase your body awareness and begin to use all of the body’s muscles as they were created to move.

Many Pilates exercises focus on the pelvis and abdominal region, utilising stability and mobility to train the body.

We offer a range of classes at Chapel Allerton Pilates including; Reformer Pilates, Springwall, Studio Equipment, 1-2-1’s, Pilates Gyms, Pre-natal and Post-natal. We have beginner-friendly options and mixed-level classes.

If you are a complete beginner and have issues with pain or any other health conditions such as osteoporosis or back pain, we recommend you book a 1-2-1 with one of our Pilates experts.

Following a 1-2-1, they will direct you to a suitable class.

If you are a beginner with no previous health conditions, you can join a beginner or mixed-level class

You don’t need to bring anything other than yourself and a positive mindset to make healthy changes that you can adopt for life.

Pilates can be practised on a mat using your own body and sometimes small props or specialised Pilates Apparatus. Pilates Reformer is very popular and is more recognisable than it was ten years ago due to more celebrities actively practising Reformer Pilates.

Pilates is for everybody and every body. All body types, levels of fitness, and ages are welcome at our friendly studio.

Part of the beauty of the Pilates method is that it can be modified to fit the needs and abilities of each individual.
