“It was lovely to find group with such a knowledgeable and supportive instructor. Having 1:1 time each session is really good”
“Lauren got to know me. She understood me and I felt confident exercising with her. My pelvic pain improved loads!”
“Classes with Lauren have been my little calm bubble! I have learnt so much about how my body works. Better than NCT!”
The pop up Pilates classes are excellently led and wonderfully varied and challenging
I love the Thursday Cowley Pilates such a good variation of exercises targeting different areas of body. Classes always tailored to individual needs !
Pop-up Pilates has become a very important part of my life. It has had a hugely beneficial effect on my health and wellbeing. And the teachers are all so helpful and friendly. Strongly recommended. Nick
Professional Physiotherapist trained Pilates trainers that adapt exercises for any injuries or difficulties you may have, and have a robust knowledge of the body. In addition they listen to you and check in to make sure you’re doing things correctly for your body.
Great pilates lessons for all abilities that build over the term. The teaching is excellent and I especially value the one-to-one support during exercises.
I have been to many different Pilates classes over the years and this one is by far the best. I feel that Niamh knows what she is doing and also knows us pretty well too. The class is both rigorous and fun.
Just a really good pilates session. I like that classes aren’t overcrowded so there is the more personal approach.
An excellent class, very baby friendly, but with a focus on mum.
So glad to have found this class at a beginner level, with such a good teacher and in such a good space , minutes from home.
