What people say about us
  • All the teachers at Pilates Central inspire confidence.

    I have found the classes hugely beneficial. Physically, I feel stronger, fitter and more flexible and have twice the energy I had before. I also find I have a clearer mind and better sleep: the calming, balancing effects of Pilates are in a league of their own.

    All the teachers at Pilates Central inspire confidence. They approach the work in individual ways, but share in common a great depth of knowledge, experience and professionalism.

  • I recommend Pilates Central unreservedly… The teachers are uniformly knowledgeable, skilled, gentle and friendly.

    I’m 69, with a body carrying many traces of rugby, skiing and boxing ‘impacts’. What made me start Pilates was a lower back problem.

    I decided I must find a way of (a) completely getting rid of the problem and (b) preventing it happening again. Pilates appeared to be the answer.

  • The thing about Pilates is that it works.

    Two years ago I first walked into Pilates Central in Islington. It suited me – a bad-back sufferer – because it was barely used and I could drop in at short notice and be guaranteed a berth to do my exercises.

    Now the studio is packed, often with more men than women. What unites us is that we are all there for medical reasons – from bad backs to whiplash injuries – with vanity being a lower priority.

  • I recommend Pilates Central to anyone and everyone.

    I have been going to Pilates Central for three years now. I go two or three times a week and it always makes me feel better. The main other things I get from attending are better posture, alignment and awareness.

    The teachers are all trained to the same high standard and are focused on ensuring that each individual gets the most from their experience. All of the teachers are, in their different ways, really supportive – and challenging.

    The difference between a mat class and Pilates Central is that you have individual attention and your technique is ensured.

    I would, and do, recommend Pilates Central to anyone and everyone

  • Not just very professional but warm, personal and tailored to your needs.

    I wanted to improve my bad posture and a friend suggested Pilates. Even during the initial assessment at Pilates Central I felt immediately in good hands and the benefits were obvious after a few sessions. Pilates Central is not just very professional and accommodating but also very warm, personal and tailored to your needs. (You even get a massage and hand-warming service thrown in occasionally!). Although I live in deepest South-West London and travel 50 minute each way, it is worth every minute of my time.

  • I can honestly say that Pilates has tripled my energy level.

    For 16 years I have done Pilates wherever I am in the world. In Islington I attend Pilates Central, and I can honestly say that Pilates has tripled my energy level.

  • Top-of-the-range equipment… Incredibly knowledgeable teachers.

    Pilates Central offers a unique experience; unlike in a group Pilates class, you can tailor your session to your exact needs. You get to use top-of- the-range equipment under the watchful eye of incredibly knowledgeable teachers. I love it and have noticed an immediate improvement in the way I feel.

  • I cannot recommend Pilates Central highly enough.
     
    It has a quiet ease and elegance that belies its superb professionalism. The exercises are overseen by gentle and encouraging staff – exercises that really make a difference to weight, muscle-tone and well-being. I know what I am asking for and giving for Christmas; something that is a life-enhancing gift: pilates at Pilates Central.
