Power of Pilates

Fantastic experience: I fell in love with reformers after taking a class with Dayana. I’ve tried several different instructors at POP and they are all amazing and so friendly. I have a few injuries and I always feel so supported when there is an exercise I need adjusting. Great team ☺️

Fantastic experience: I've been attending mat classes at Power of Pilates for several years and have found them well organised, friendly and beneficial. For the last year, following a hip replacement, I have attended the Restore class designed specifically for people recovering from injuries, surgery etc. The level is right for me and the instructor, Saskia, understands each person's issues and tailors exercises accordingly. The attendees are friendly as well. The Studio at Lower Earley is a great environment and always spotlessly clean and tidy - and there's plenty of parking. Graham (72)

Fantastic experience: Amazing classes with great instructors!:)

Fantastic experience: I can't praise Power of Pilates highly enough. I've had a long term knee injury and gone through a lot of physio and 6 months of tailored strength training with a PT. Sadly the knee issue persisted which is why (on the recommendation of a friend) I decided to try Pilates. I've had 10 sessions of "Reformer" Pilates with Dayana who is exceptional. She took the time to understand my particular needs and identified specific areas of weakness. The sessions are tough but strangely enjoyable and have transformed my body. My knee pain has reduced considerably and enabled me to get back to playing badminton 3 times per week. For anyone that has had a long term musculoskeletal injury or needs any type of physical rehab, i would highly recommend giving this place a go. It could well transform your outlook like it has done for me.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending reformer Pilates for 10 months now and it has become a non-negotiable! It’s so worth investing in yourself and I have never felt better in myself. The instructors make it a safe space with no judgement, whether you’re a complete beginner to a seasoned pro there’s always an exercise for you. Special mention to Dayana for her fab Friday evening/Sunday morning classes, she really gets to know you and any injuries you may have and adapts the exercises. She’s highly knowledgeable and is an absolute asset to POP. Claire the owner is super accommodating and always goes above and beyond if you need any assistance. Would highly recommend the studio to anyone!

Fantastic experience: PoP is such a lovely studio with a super atmosphere. The 12+ years I have spent attending PoP classes transformed the way I feel about my body, and has been a significant reason for me reaching my 60s with fewer aches and pains than my friends!

Fantastic experience: held a party here and it was an amazing experience- the studio was spacious and modern, the birthday decorations made the experience even more memorable, the class was engaging and challenging in all the best ways. would 100% recommend!!

Fantastic experience: An amazing class, Dayana was very patient, stayed with each student and made sure we got it right. i was very nervous about reformer pilates as its my first time bit she did alleviate my fears. enjoyed every minute of it

Fantastic experience: Great Pilates studio! The reformer and mat classes are brilliant. The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable, with special mention to Liezel and Gabby The studio is lovely and bright, super clean, great equipment and a relaxed friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I signed up for the intro offer and enjoyed the classes so much I’ve just bought ten more sessions. The classes are really freirndly and not intimidating at all. I’m already recommending Power Of Pilates to friends

Fantastic experience: Amazing studio! Friendly, warm instructors, always love coming to classes :) Would highly recommend. I'm currently training with BASI, and the support from Claire, Liezel and Saskia during this process has been incredible. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: I have recently started doing Pilates and have had the pleasure of attending Dayana’s Mat FLOW class and her Reformer Beginners class. I love Dayana’s workouts. She’s strict but fair, making you work hard but also ensuring it’s never more than what you can handle. She takes the time to ensure you understand her instructions and her explanations are thorough. Most importantly, she helps you and motivates you at the same time even leaving time at the end for any questions. I enjoy coming in for her sessions and really recommend her classes! ◡̈

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Power of Pilates for a few months now and never had a bad class. All of the instructors I've had have been knowledgable, enthusiastic and run great classes. The studio is always clean and everyone is welcoming and if you're thinking of giving pilates a go, this is the place to go! Also free parking is a win!

Fantastic experience: It’s hard to know how to put into words properly, the effect that Power of Pilates has had on me and my life but as a working mum of 2 small children, finding time for myself can be a bit of a challenge. I was starting to not recognise myself and when I stumbled across an ad saying that beginners classes were going to start in Lower Earley, I thought I’ll try it but I’ll probably end up having to sacrifice it for something else…. 8 months later, I’m now in a committed relationship with PoP and the dream team of instructors that work there, particularly Dayana and Saskia! Each bring so much knowledge, passion and FUN and I look forward to seeing them and fellow Pilates class mates, every week! Pilates for me is now a non negotiable and I’m at the studio 3 times a week and couldn’t be more grateful to Claire and the team, for building such an empowering, clean, safe and beautiful space, giving me a retreat from the chaos of life!

Fantastic experience: I started taking Reformer classes at Power of Pilates last year to help with my spine surgery recovery, and the beginner classes with Dayana have been transformative for me, not just for my recovery but also for my confidence. Dayana is a fantastic instructor, who not only takes the time to explain the equipment but also in demonstrating the exercises and offering alternatives so everyone gets the most out of the classes. The studio is always clean and the equipment is top quality. The online booking system is easy to use and the selection of days, times and types of classes on offer make it easy to find one that fits around work and other commitments. I couldn’t recommend this studio more, especially if you’re new to Pilates and are looking for a non-judgemental, caring and relaxing place to start.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend this Power of Pilates studio enough! Claire and the team are always so accommodating. The studio itself is absolutely spotless, fresh aesthetic that makes every visit feel like a treat! The equipment is amazing and always maintained, which makes such a difference! All the instructors are genuinely amazing, they are knowledgeable and professional. I have to give a special shoutout to my Friday evening classes with Dayana- highlight of my week! I’ve tried a few studios in the past, but nothing compares to this one. Everyone is so friendly.. Even if I move miles away I don’t think I could leave!

Fantastic experience: I never enjoyed any form of exercise but since going to Power Pilates and meeting my trainer Liezel I enjoy my classes so much that I actually look forward to going to them. Under Liezel's expert tuition my body is transforming. I have back and core issues and they have improved so much because of my lessons. I can't thank Liezel enough for the quality of life she has helped me achieve and I look forward to improving myself a little more each lesson with her.

Fantastic experience: We've been to classes for over 18 months now and love the staff at Power of Pilates. They are friendly and encouraging, gently pushing you to achieve more each lesson. Particular shout out to Saskia, Liezel, Lesley and Claire.

Fantastic experience: What a beautiful studio! I was in Reading for a week and they were able to work with my schedule to get me into back to back mat and reformer classes. Big thanks to David for the efficient and kind communication and all of the instructors: Saskia, Leizel and Gabby for wonderful classes. Strong professional space, clean and challenging. Just what my body needed. 10/10 experience.

Fantastic experience: POP is a great Pilates studio with experienced and knowledgable instructors that challenge yet support you, regardless of experience. Claire also hosted a private session for us which was really enjoyable. She tailored the session to us and our experience (both in terms of Pilates and our usual exercise in general) to ensure we would get the most out of the session. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: As a recent newcomer to the reformer flow exercise, Claire’s session has been very positive. The studio with just 4 x machines allows Claire to almost provide 1:1 feedback regardless of any mixed experience in the class. Her knowledge and passion for this discipline is evident and she is always keen to ensure the exercises are carried out correctly and safely, providing guidance as needed, but equally pushing you a bit further to get a little more out of you ! Early days but already feeling stronger and a little more flexible! Onwards

Fantastic experience: My friends surprised me with a reformer pilates bridal shower session for my hen do and it was truly perfect. I always wanted to try it and Claire was amazing and made us feel very comfortable, but also pushed us all (in a good way). I throughly enjoyed the personalised touches of my hen accessories, deco and a playlist of my favourite music. I have a new found love of pilates and want to go back immediately when the finances allow for it. Definitely recommend if anyone wants to do a hen do or any occasional celebration here

Fantastic experience: Claire did a great job organising a private session for our hen-do! She made sure we all felt very comfortable and we all came away having such a great time! Wish I had lived closer as would love to go to more classes (I suppose something we can do with my friends when we visit)

Fantastic experience: Claire did an amazing session for our hen do! She was so lovely as majority of us were beginners we thoroughly enjoyed every part of it. It was a fun session and I highly recommend for group of friends to do! She put up a cute welcom sign for the class and made the bride feel special. She also put a custom playlist which was an added touch. Highly recommend for all groups of friends or for any abilities

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved my reformer session. The studio is amazing. Can highly recommend. I will be booking more sessions asap!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of taking reformer Pilates sessions with Claire, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we stepped into her studio, we were struck by how well-equipped and welcoming it was—truly the perfect environment for Pilates. Claire is an outstanding teacher. Her patience, expertise, and ability to tailor sessions to our individual needs meant that we progressed far more quickly than we expected. She explains everything so clearly and ensures that every movement is done with precision, making the sessions both challenging and incredibly rewarding. The benefits have been fantastic—improved general fitness, greater mobility, and a noticeable increase in core strength. Beyond that, the sessions became a real highlight of our week. Not only were they effective, but they were also great fun! Claire has a way of making exercise feel enjoyable and engaging, and her enthusiasm is contagious. If you’re considering Pilates, we can’t recommend Claire highly enough. She’s a fantastic instructor, and the experience has been truly transformative.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic sessions that are helping me both physically and mentally.

Fantastic experience: I was so pleased that my waitlisted place for last night’s class came up 40 minutes before it started because I was experiencing low back pain. I mentioned this to Saskia and she paid me a lot of attention whilst watching out for others. I am so grateful to Saskia for her help. Today I do not have pain. Thank you Saskia.

Fantastic experience: I rarely get to go to a Reformer class during the week - but last week I attended the Reformer Women Only class that Saskia led. What an absolute treat, Saskia is so knowledgeable, she adapted the session for the new starters and the oldie! (me) She is amazing and you come out of the class on a real high. Thank you Saskia thank you Power of Pilates

Fantastic experience: Great class! Booked several more simce Very knowledgeable and helpful

Fantastic experience: Where would our bodies be without all the wonderful instructors, the wonderful Lisa (Thursdays8pm) keeping us toned and balanced, mentally as well as physically. The array of stand ins for holiday and sick cover all working us hard in different ways and widening our learning. I’ve been a member of Power of Pilates for approx 15years ‍♀️ wouldn’t be with out it. Thank you Claire and team xx From Karen Brown

Fantastic experience: Great class's, even as a novice I was made welcome and helped. NIA is a great instructor

Fantastic experience: Amazing studio with the broadest range of teachers and classes. I’ve been doing Pilates for over 11 years and never been to a studio that offers so much variety. The wealth of experience within the teaching team is unmatched. I’ve also experienced such care and attention whilst pregnant and most importantly post partum. I couldn’t recommend Power of Pilates more, it truly is my happy place

Fantastic experience: I have fallen in love with reformer Pilates thanks to Saskia. Already feeling stronger and seeing changes a few classes in. Would definitely recommend these amazing classes!

Fantastic experience: As a regular I can’t recommend Claire and her team highly enough! Claire recommended a class and instructor when I first contacted PoP and I haven’t looked back. Reformer is my first love but I also include a mat class in my weekly routine for a different dimension. The instructors pay attention to everyone’s needs and the 121 sessions take that focus to another level. The new studios are fantastic and I’m looking forward to joining some of the new well-being classes. Thank you for looking after me! Bex x

Fantastic experience: As a guy, I was a bit hesitant to start Pilates. I started by purchasing one of there intro offers and it was a great way to break me into it and to give me some basics and the confidence to go into classes. I absolutely love it and couldn’t recommend it anymore, I’ve had different instructors and they have all been great! I’m now around 25 sessions in and doing it twice a week and never felt stronger. Highly recommend!! I also love the the different classes they offer and I’m now doing the reformer plus with Nia and wouldn’t want to miss it

Fantastic experience: The location is easily accessible with plenty of parking spots. The Reformer studio is fresh and spacious Not being the most flexible person and also very new to Pilates I’ve found the instructors superb at providing me the necessary individual support and expert guidance when I have required it whilst seamlessly maintaining the flow of the class for the other attendees.

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for your brilliant team over the years - really made a big difference to a knackered back!

Fantastic experience: I’ve just done my 3rd reformer class with Rachel, and have to say I’m really enjoying Rachel’s classes, she’s a fantastic teacher, she explains exactly what to do, helps you if your not quite in the right position so you don’t hurt yourself, it’s definitely helping my back and posture. Would highly recommend Rachel’s classes.

Fantastic experience: A complete newbie to reformer and not the most coordinated person, The Power of Pilates has been amazing. I signed up for 3 sessions initially and fell in love after my first session and immediately booked a block of 10 that evening. They have a wonderful studio, and the instructors and fellow reformies are very welcoming and inclusive no matter your ability. Excellent studio location, lots of parking and the facilities of the studio are very calm and tranquil. I've been to several classes this month with Nia and Rachael, both great instructors, assisting you when you need it and helping you get in the right positions without making you feel uncomfortable. 10/10 If you've been thinking about taking the plunge just do it, you won't regret it (your abs might though ) x

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending classes at Power of pilates for a few months now and I cannot put into words of how much I enjoy my time in the classes - the instructors are professional but yet very calming, helpful and bring the energy that you need into a Pilates class! I always leave feeling refreshed. Such a wonderful studio with great instructors.

Fantastic experience: First time at this studio and first time in a few years since I did pilates (so I certainly felt it for a few days afterwards). Excellent instruction in a lovely venue. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I have been having classes at Power of Pilates since March this year, and can thoroughly recommend the studio! There a mat and a reformer studio, both are light and airy, a great environment to exercise in. The instructors are all incredibly knowledgeable and have excellent levels of training. Having spent many years doing mat Pilates in classes of 18 more in a large chain gym with some instructors having only the most basic training, the small class size and highly qualified instructors makes such a difference to your practise. Th studio is really conveniently located in Lower Earley, with plenty of parking. The booking website is easy to use and there are a wide variety of classes to book.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending Reformer Pilates classes at Power of Pilates for justo over a year now, and I absolutely love it! Their classes have made a huge difference in my body strength, flexibility, and overall well-being. The instructors are all incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. They ensure that every session is both challenging and enjoyable, while also paying close attention to proper form and technique. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, they tailor the exercises to fit your capabilities. I can’t recommend the studio enough for anyone looking to improve their fitness in a welcoming and professional environment x

Fantastic experience: Great session last night, had struggled with knee and back pain at work,almost talked myself out of going, arrived just in time due to traffic problems, so glad I went, workout was aimed at back,hamstrings, glutes, came out feeling the best I had all day! Really informative too! Thanks Colin

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Power of Pilates and have been going to mat classes since May 2023, initially to help my shoulder after surgery. I am a regular at Saskia's classes and am now trying to attend 2 classes a week. I have seen huge improvements to my mental and physical health in the last year - stronger, fitter, calmer and most notably the benefits pilates has brought in terms of managing my hypermobility. I have been able to challenge myself in ways that I never thought possible just over a year ago. The new studio is amazing; spacious and fully equipped with everything needed for a class. Instructors on the whole are great - super helpful and knowledgeable on all things pilates!! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great studio with amazing instructors. Wife and I have been having group and private classes for around a year now and can’t recommend them enough! The new, bigger studio is a great space too!

Fantastic experience: Joined 3 classes while on holidays here, and each one was fantastic. Studio is easily accessible, lots of parking and very clean. If I lived here I would definitely be joining Saskia’s classes a few times a week, she is an amazing Pilates instructor and encourages you to push yourself. I will definitely be back when I’m in town

Fantastic experience: Every time i leave a reformer class I have the same thoughts.I wish every pregnant and post natal woman was given access to classes. I wish it was prescribed rather than medication for back pain. I wish I had the opportunity to take classes whilst dance training (I imagine the amount of knee injuries I had/have would be lower), and I know how lucky I am to attend class at least once a week (I wish it was more!) with the amazingly skilled instructors Raf and Saskia at Power of Pilates. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Thank you Claire for my 1-2-1 Very much enjoyed the attention to detail and the challenge you set me. Love your style of teaching - very patient and informative and calm :)

Fantastic experience: I joined the classes in January as I was 12 weeks pregnant and wanted to make sure I was moving throughout my pregnancy. The instructors have always been good to adapt my sessions throughout my pregnancy, being clear to me what I can do and what I can't, despite being the only pregnant person in the class, this has included giving me a wedge so I don't lay flat on my back. I'm now at 33 weeks and still going each week, I'll carry on for as long as I can, but my bump is getting in the way now! I enjoy each week as it's always different from the last. Sliders are a challenge!

Fantastic experience: Excellent teachers, nice studio, good choice of class times. I have been coming to mat classes for years and have made good progress.

Fantastic experience: I have been with Raf for a while now, doing the 1:1 reformer. He is an excellent instructor, always encouraging me to a bit more without it being too much! He knows how to motivate people and is keen to praise where relevant. I am booking my next set of 10 today!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic reformer session with Claire today. I’ve done mat pilates for a number of years, but I’m new to reformer and I absolutely LOVE it! Claire makes sure you get a total body work out and challenges me, but I honestly walk out of the class with a big grin and a sense of accomplishment. I dare to say I am becoming an addict! Thank you so much

Fantastic experience: A bloody brilliant class today. Raf made minor changes to the session which made big differences. I left feeling much stronger. Thank you :

Fantastic experience: The class is always challenging. We tried something new today, which was hard but fun. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Fantastic experience: Ageing well with brilliant matwork class and great teachers! Only a few months into enjoying Pilates but feeling great, stronger and more flexible and noticing great improvements in other activities including skiing and dancing

Fantastic experience: I have been going to pilates classes at Power of Pilates in Reading for a while now. The classes are pitched at the right level and the teachers are excellent especially Lisa our current one, who cares for the individual and the class as a whole.

Fantastic experience: This is my second review after 7 months of Reformer and Mat classes with Power of Pilates..... I have noticed such a difference in my strength and posture and this is now my go-to exercise. In addition to regular classes, I have recently had a 1:1 with Saskia which was amazing! We worked on moves and exercises that I would not be able to do in a class and it was challenging and really rewarding. I am always surprised at how much you can do on a Reformer. I loved it and will book another 1:1. Thank you. FIRST REVIEW BELOW..... I started Reformer classes 2 months ago and have never done exercise that was so enjoyable, with such good results. I'm now trying g 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!

Fantastic experience: Wanted to pass on some well deserved praise. As a regular attendee of Saskia’s class I wanted to sing her praises. Her classes are always so varied with something different and challenging to do. It’s such a well thought out class with options to make each exercise easier or harder. I always come away feeling I have been pushed to my max without feeling out of my depth. A big thank you to Saskia xx

Fantastic experience: 5 stars isn’t enough! Claire and all the amazing instructors are so lovely and supportive and I feel so strong and empowered when I attend classes at Power of Pilates. I’m so glad I found this business, I have never felt stronger and more confident. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Very enjoyable mat class with Claire, with the use of different equipment most weeks

Fantastic experience: Saskia is a great Pilates teacher. She adapts to what you need and challenges you as well

Fantastic experience: After suffering from severe neck pain, I was introduced to Pilates through chiropractic care 14 years ago. Power of Pilates was a game-changer for me, to the extent that I participated in them during both of my pregnancies, witnessing clear benefits on my neck and back. With various disc degenerations in my neck and lower back, not every sport could be as safe for me. After taking a break from it for a while, I got an email referral from a Power of Pilates reformer, and that was it. I became addicted to this exercise. Now, where should I start? Should I talk about the profound impact on my physical fitness ? Or should I start by expressing my appreciation for each and every unique, caring and knowledgeable instructor to the extend that can not decide who is my favourite ? or the noticeable improvement I feel in my endurance and flexibility? Or should I talk about its effect on my mental well-being during the toughest days of my life? All of the above and more... I can only say that I am thankful to Power of Pilates team for providing me with such wonderful classes and atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Pilates classes through Power of Pilates for over 10 years and have met a number of instructors over this time. During lockdown I also did video classes on livestream. All the instructors I've met have been lovely and, as well as providing a thorough exercise regime, Pilates is a great place to meet new people!

Fantastic experience: Definitely 5 star it's a great form of exercise with great tutors has kept me mobile thanks to all

Fantastic experience: cannot recommend enough! :)

Fantastic experience: Amazing classes !

Fantastic experience: Incredible classes run by the best most informative hands on and knowledgeable instructors I’ve ever encountered - bravo. Claire the owner is committed and wonderful. Love ❤️ love ❤️ love ❤️

Fantastic experience: 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

Fantastic experience: Life-Changing Experience! Lower Back Pain Relief at Power of Pilates! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (I would give it 10 stars if I could!) I can't express enough how Power of Pilates has transformed my life! If you've been struggling with lower back pain like I did for nearly a decade, this place is an absolute game-changer. After years of MRI scans, acupuncture, physiotherapy, and regular massages, I was losing hope that I'd ever find relief from the constant pain. Then, in June, I saw an ad for Power of Pilates at a bus stop and decided to give it a shot. Best decision I've ever made! Desperate for relief, I started with 2 reformer classes per week and, within a short time, noticed incredible results. The pain that had been a constant companion for so long started to melt away. Now, I'm down to just one class per week, and I can honestly say that my lower back pain has reduced by a staggering 95%! Not only can I move, walk, and sleep better, but I also feel great overall. The instructors at Power of Pilates are exceptional, and their expertise has made all the difference in my journey towards pain relief and better mobility. I intend to add mat classes to my weekly routine, the outstanding benefits are worth the price, trust me! What's more, I've been raving about my experience to my family and friends, encouraging them to give it a go. I believe in the Power of Pilates so much that I want everyone I care about to experience the same life-changing benefits! Anyone out there in a similar situation and desperate for relief, don't hesitate—try Power of Pilates. It's a welcoming, supportive environment where you'll receive personalized attention and guidance. I'm living proof that Pilates can be a game-changer for chronic lower back pain. Thank you, Power of Pilates, for giving me my life back! I can't recommend this studio enough, and I hope this review helps others find the relief they deserve.

Negative experience: Doesn’t respond to emails. Took down my details to book for a class and never bothered following up.

Fantastic experience: 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

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to power of Pilates for about 5 years and cannot speak highly enough about Claire and the team. Great studio and equipment and there’s always easier or harder options to the exercises

Fantastic experience: My back is wrecked and the only thing that's made a difference is reformer pilates. Saskia is a top instructor. Challenging, knowledgeable and good fun.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic class - suitable for all ages and stages. I look forward to my hour of me time every week. Thank you Claire and co for all your support. My back has never felt better

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience to attend a class with Claire today at St Paul’s Parish. The delivery and instruction was fantastic. As someone who attends classes regularly in N Ireland I was made to feel so welcome today and would definitely recommend to others and will be sure to come back when I am next over. Thank you so much xx

Fantastic experience: I have been taking 1:1 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!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a number of 1:1 sessions at Power of Pilates with Charlotte using the reformer. I have some health issues and wanted to make sure I was exercising safely and building up strength. Charlotte has done just this and 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.

Fantastic experience: Friendly classes with lots of consideration of your level of experience, strength, and any injuries etc. that might affect your approach to Pilates. All delivered with gentle encouragement and humour by Claire. Thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Since joining PowerofPilates, after only a short while my back pain has greatly improved and I definitely feel a lot stronger overall. Claire is an excellent, patient teacher and so knowledgeable!

Fantastic experience: Delores is an amazing instructor. I’ve been at her class for over 3 years now and is never a dull moment. She plans lessons carefully and incorporates practical exercises and is always reminding us how important is to pace ourselves. Most importantly her classes are great fun and you come out super energised.

Fantastic experience: I've attended classes with Power of Pilates since it first opened. We've had several good instructors over those years, but I particularly want to call out our present instructor, Saskia. On her first class with us, she made a real effort to understand everyone's limitations etc. and spent time during the class checking on each of us and adjusting/helping those who needed it. Her programme was really to my liking too - felt like every part of me had worked, and worked quite hard, but it was easy to follow and felt like it flowed naturally. She has a very upbeat and engaging style.

Fantastic experience: Reformer classes make me feel things like I’ve never felt before! Taking back to back classes have got me burning calories, developing flexibility, removing stress and uplifting my mood! Amazing instructors have got me addicted.

Fantastic experience: I have been doing 2 pilates classes a week with Power Of Pilates for several years and it really has made a massive impact on my life. I look forward to each class and find the instructors knowledgeable and helpful. I find the livestream class really handy and it fits into my busy schedule beautifully. I highly recommend Claire and her amazing team, so genuinely caring and professional.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: I started Pilates at Power of Pilates a few months and am absolutely loving it! I have recurring back issues and decided to try Pilates with the expectation of strengthening my back. Fortunately the classes are working on my whole body and the instructor is very careful while pushing me a little. It's just the right balance for me!

Fantastic experience: Where do I start! Claire and the Power of Pilates team are second to none! I absolutely love the classes, there's a mix of styles and different levels of difficulty for whatever stage you're at. All the teachers are brilliant, always able to advise what works best for your body. I look forward to going every single week!

Fantastic experience: Tutor is very good and PoP have adapted so well and so quickly to all the current uncertainties, I’ve been able to do classes in way or another all during the pandemic. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: The classes are well structured. The instructions and instructors are clear. The classes are punctual and the studio space is safe, pleasant and easy to get to. Online classes are also available and incredibly handy, especially during lockdown, or if studio spaces are limited. I would highly recommend checking out classes here.

Fantastic experience: Excellent communications, knowledgeable instructors, wide range of classes available from relaxing right through to challenging. Lower Earley Studio spacious and airy, love the high ceilings and views of trees through the windows. Vehicle parking a bonus.

Fantastic experience: It is lovely to be back in the studio in person once again with Delores. She has a really good routine which has multiple choices to suit all capabilities. Hopefully this can continue safely without interruption from COVID

Fantastic experience: What a fabulous first session after returning to the studio tonight with Rachel. I feel I've reconnected with my whole body after just one session. It's great to be back.

Fantastic experience: I could not be more impressed by your professionalism, attention to Covid-19 cleanliness and clear communication to clients and staff. The classes are outstanding too - Rachel is excellent!

Fantastic experience: I’m so excited to be returning to classes in the studio. Although there have been very good online classes during lockdown, I have missed the face to face classes, the superb instruction and the me time at a studio class. I would highly recommend Power of Pilates. Over the last three years, everybody has always been professional, helpful and accommodating.

Fantastic experience: Great place to get started, or improve, your Pilates. Really excellent instructors who carefully explain each move, what muscles are being worked and give alternatives for those who need it. I enjoy the weekly mat classes but more recently have been doing a Zoom livestream class which is brilliant and allows me to redo the class via a recording during the week.

Fantastic experience: As a newcomer to "Power of Pilates" and well in to retirement age I was nervous about joining. All my fears were soon overcome by a very friendly group both instructors and class participants. I am thoroughly enjoying the experience and the joining instructions are very clear and easy to understand. Would thoroughly recommend the experience.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for many years as I'm really enjoying the classes. The instructors are professional and very committed and the support from the owner and her team is outstanding!! Always looking to improve. Latest news, they have been selected as an official BASI host studio. 1 of 4 in the whole of the UK. I can highly recomment Power of Pilates

Fantastic experience: Despite being taught remotely for over a year I’ve always found that time is taken to maintain a personal and caring approach to individuals as well as tailoring classes to both those in the studio and those at home when this has been possible. The booking system is clear and easy to use and it’s really helpful to have a weekly timetable of classes as well as a reminder an hour before a class starts.
