There will be a small price increase to our services as from the 15th September 2025. This will apply to all of our studio sessions, privates and group classes.

Prices will be changed on the booking system on the 15th September. If you pay by direct debit you will be notified of the change by email at least 10 days in advance of the change.

Blocks of sessions can still be purchased in advance of the price change at our existing prices. Your new block will only start on the first date of registration of your session.

Thank you for all for your continued custom, we value your loyalty and support. Our aim always is to provide you with the best service we can, in a small and intimate studio setting. Price increases are unfortunately necessary in this climate of constant rising costs. We hope you understand.

We are now away for the weekend and closed until Monday evening. If you have any questions drop us a message and we will respond on Tuesday.

Have a great weekend ✨

Last night we held a circuit equipment class and people were having fun 😁 it seems (whilst working hard 💪🏼)

It’s always a pleasure to teach other instructors, especially this one. Kelly and I have known Sam for many years from our Bannatynes teaching days when Sam attended our Mat classes there…that was 15 years ago! (Gosh that makes me feel very old 👵)

It’s lovely to see how her own practice and teaching has developed and deepened over the years and to hear how she now helps so many people in her area. If you are ever in Wellington/Taunton area in Somerset check her out.

Thanks for putting your trust in us Sam.
Until the next time 🤩

No trip up North would be the same without a sneaky visit to North Star Pilates to learn some more about how to move my body from this fabulous human! 🥰 Thank you as always for an amazing 1:1 and giving me some much needed "me time".

Why am I smiling with 3 springs on the jump board 😳 Because in 2019 after back surgery I couldn’t push off on it with 1 spring let alone 3 with my left leg. Now I can 🙂 and I’m entirely pain free. Due to a reduced range of movement in my left ankle it’s something I have to regularly do to keep my strength up. Standing exercises were no good for me back then post surgery. There are many different types of Pilates out there these days & it can get confusing. So if you have a specific condition you require help with reach out to us. The range of equipment we have in our studio can be amazing to help get us moving again & build our strength 💪🏼

Ok, so we didn’t expect our last course to sell out within a day, thank you!! ✨✨

We have had a few people message us to say they missed out on the last course so we made an amendment to our schedule and have now scheduled in another course for September. We know it seems a long way away but it will be here in a flash!

Course starts Monday 1st September 7.15pm-8.15pm and runs for 4 consecutive weeks. It’s bookable now on our booking system.

September is a super busy month for us so it would be good idea to get this scheduled in now if you are wanting to start something new in September as space will be limited. Remember we only have 4 people per class, it’s really a semi-private experience not a group class.

This course will be taught by Susanne. Beginner courses are usually Kells gig so I’m super excited to be teaching this 🤩

✨ NEXT INTRO TO PILATES REFORMER & TOWER COURSE BEGINS WEDNESDAY 23rd JULY! ✨
*Only 3 spaces left*

Our hugely popular 4 week beginner ‘Intro to Pilates Reformer & Tower course’ starts on Wednesday 23rd July at 1800-1900 and will run for 4 consecutive weeks.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

Are you completely new to Pilates and want to learn the fundamentals? Or, maybe you’ve been practicing Mat Pilates and would like to learn more about using the Reformer and the studio apparatus.

This four week course will teach you the fundamentals of Pilates using the Reformer, Tower, Mat and other pieces of studio apparatus. You’ll finish the course with an understanding of the Pilates principles as well as the studio apparatus allowing you to then confidently and safely join any of our small group classes.

THE BENEFITS (There are so many but here are some!)

Pilates offers a range of benefits including improved core strength, enhanced posture, better balance, increased flexibility, better body awareness and overall strength. It also promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and improves overall physical and mental well-being.

ABOUT US

We are different from other studios that you may see popping up recently as we are fully equipped with a full range of Pilates apparatus not just Reformers. We are small and intimate, there is no getting lost in the crowd or at the back as we only have 4 people per session. Our clients love that.
Our teachers understand the full method of Pilates, not just its parts. That matters in Pilates. Our two main dedicated teachers have each been teaching for 16 years and owned studios since 2013. We have taught a lot of people over the years and can see and understand what your body needs and how you can improve your movement. We too have sustained injuries, we have had surgeries and we have used Pilates to pre-hab and rehab. It’s not just about fitness. For us it’s part of our life.
We are village based in lovely Ackworth where we live ❤️

*Please reach out to us in advance of booking if you are injured or have any health conditions or concerns in order for us to assess your suitability for the course.

For those of you that know, you will know how much hard work, time and energy this has taken recently. I’ve been tired (often grumpy 😖) worked on my days off, weekends, evenings and I even did an online course day whilst I was away in Ibiza!

I’m feeling super proud of myself for completing this aswell as running my full schedule of classes and private clients.

Thanks to the inspirational and hugely talented for leading us through the course and putting a Pilates teacher trainer emphasis to it and also to my partner in crime Kel L Stevo for supporting me and picking up the slack at home and in the studio.

I’ve been challenged to say the least but the standard of Pilates teacher trainers in our industry needs to improve and I intend to be part of that moving forward.

Level 3 in Vocational Assessment has already begun..bring it on! 💪
