Paragon Pilates Studio Chelford - Matwork & Reformer Pilates, Sports Massage & Physio

Fantastic experience: After my previous Pilates instructor retired I struggled to find another Pilates class I felt happy with - then I found Charlotte at Paragon Pilates! I couldn’t be happier! The studio is calm and relaxing and Charlotte is so helpful and encouraging - I feel so much better in every way after each class!

Fantastic experience: I first tried Pilates to improve my back pain after recommended by my orthopaedics consultant. I’m so grateful to have started my Pilates journey at Charlotte’s studio. The instructors are attentive and make sure each student in the small group maintains the correct technique. Charlotte keeps the sessions engaging by introducing different movements and equipment each week, ensuring every muscle is activated. I recently joined the Reformer classes, which are both fun and energetic! It’s been over a year since I last experienced back pain, and I truly look forward to my weekly sessions— they help me unwind from my busy work life.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to the "men only beginners" class since it started and is now a firm fixture in my weekly diary. Whilst I've always tried to keep fit (mainly through running) like many people I'd never spent sufficient time on flexibility and stretching. Whilst I'd been aware of pilates I'd never considered it as something "blokes" do so this class has been perfect.Jill is a first class instructor (she explains things very well and she knows our limits!). I've definitely benefitted from this weekly session at what is a great studio.

Fantastic experience: Vey professional and helpful.

Fantastic experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough wonderful things about Paragon! From the moment I stepped into the studio, I felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The small class sizes are a game-changer; they allow for personalized attention, ensuring that each participant receives the guidance they need to maximize their practice. The instructors at Paragon are truly exceptional. Their depth of knowledge and passion for Pilates is evident in every session. They take the time to understand each individual’s goals and tailor the workouts accordingly, which has made a significant difference in my progress. Their attention to detail and ability to provide modifications make every class accessible, regardless of your skill level. The reformer equipment is well-maintained, and the studio itself is bright and inviting, creating an inspiring space to work out. I’ve noticed not only improvements in my strength and flexibility but also a greater sense of overall well-being since joining. If you’re looking for a Pilates studio that combines expert instruction with a supportive community, look no further than Paragon. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: Great Pilates studio. Kate is an excellent teacher. Gives very clear instructions, helpful kind and fun. Each class always incorporates new moves. The studio is very clean, bright with a calm feeling. Highly recommend these classes.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love these Pilates classes! Charlotte and her team are brilliant—so knowledgeable, friendly, and great at pushing you while keeping it fun. The studio has such a welcoming vibe, and no matter your level, you always feel right at home. I’ve noticed a massive difference in my strength and flexibility since I started.

Fantastic experience: From Charlotte’s first response to my enquiry to Jill’s wonderful one 2 ones and classes, everything has been of the highest professional standards. Furthermore the warmth of the support you receive has enabled me to succeed after an extended period of ill health and to feel confident in classes. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I attended Charlotte's reformer class and I have to say it was fantastic. I have attended many reformer classes, but the difference with Charlotte’s class was that it was specific and targeted, particularly working on isolating and strengthening the muscles. Charlotte was thorough and mindful; her session and sequencing were not rushed, unlike other classes I have been to, and I felt an immediate difference in my body afterward. My abs were very grateful! I also attended another class led by a different teacher, which again was excellent—thorough, precise, and supportive—ensuring that we were all working the correct muscles and focusing on the right technique. Can't wait for my next class.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love attending pilates classes at Paragon and can’t speak highly enough of them. Everything about Paragon is professional and well-organised starting from the outset with the streamlined online booking process. The relaxing ambience and décor of the venue are perfect for pilates or the yoga or barre classes that are also available. Pilates is only effective if it is being practiced correctly and Charlotte ensures that everyone fully understands each exercise, providing helpful individual advice throughout the class to ensure this is the case. We are lucky to have Paragon in Chelford and the popularity of the classes says it all!

Fantastic experience: I met Charlotte for the first time following a major operation. I had 3 or 4 sessions on my own to learn the basics and for the past 2 years or so I’ve attended her group sessions. The new studio is perfect, so calm and relaxing and I really look forward to the classes. I would and, indeed have, recommended Paragon to a number of people as I believe they offer the best Pilate classes in the region. I’ve even persuaded my ex rugby playing husband to attend! I’m really looking forward to trying the yoga and barre classes as soon as I’m able.

Fantastic experience: Charlotte is absolutely amazing, she adjusts every session to help and support my injuries. She is the only Pilates studio I’ve been to that uses a full medical form and is really injury conscious. I feel really safe and supported and look forward to going. If you’re nervous or unsure, Charlotte puts your mind at ease and is a brilliant teacher.

Fantastic experience: Superb mixed ability Pilates class. Charlotte is a wonderful instructor who teaches in an incredibly professional and motivating way. Each week’s class is different with adaptations both for beginners and more advanced levels often using different types of Pilates equipment. I have attended the Zoom class for a couple of years as I don’t live close the the fabulous studio, a wonderful start to Tuesday morning’s and very highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I like the variety of apparatus and excersises.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy my pilates sessions with Charlotte who is a wonderful instructor. The classes are varied and cater for different needs and levels. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Charlotte for a long time and have recently expanded to sessions with Jill. I love coming, I can exercise at my own pace yet feel guided and motivated to do more. I can’t wait to try the Saturday classes and Monday yoga classes! Charlotte and Jill are both fabulous teachers and the group members have been friendly, and a great environment has been created.

Fantastic experience: The pilates lessons are great, I always feel so refreshed afterwards. The studio is a beautiful and very tranquil environment in which to practice pilates. I haven't tried any of the other offerings yet.

Fantastic experience: I’ve just had a 1 2 1 Reformer Pilates session - it was really good. Charlotte is very welcoming, informative and professional. She demonstrated the moves and then carefully watched how I executed them and corrected any position when needed. As a beginner I felt the moves were well explained including health and safety aspects. Thank you Charlotte!

Fantastic experience: Charlotte's studio and classes are excellent. The sessions are taught to a very high standard and flow well, I have recently joined having done pilates for many years in alternative locations and I am very pleased with what's on offer and the quality of the classes and teaching. I thoroughly enjoy it and would love to attend more. Hopefully in the future some additional lunchtime & weekend classes would be great?!

Fantastic experience: As a beginner, Charlotte immediately made me feel relaxed and at ease. The classes are very well structured with a wide range of exercises each week. Charlotte provides fantastic guidance and reassurance throughout. I would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: A month of doing Pilates with Paragon Pilates (Charlotte Hodges running it) and really enjoying it! We are a small Thursday class she have at Chelford Primary. Nothing too intense, everything is to your own pace and with right guidance it can be done by anyone. This is my first ever attempt to fitness or any form of exercise since giving birth in 2017 and I think its fab! x Highly recommended! :)

Fantastic experience: Charlottes classes have really helped me to regain my strength post baby. She is incredibly insightful and provides the utmost care throughout the sessions. I’ll definitely be a long term customer!

Fantastic experience: I have found Charlotte's classes thoroughly enjoyable. Having taken Pilates classes in the past, it was useful to have a gentle introduction back into the discipline but then to have Charlotte build on the exercises each week. I find it particularly helpful that Charlotte will advise during each exercise and will also offer a more challanging version. Close attention to hygiene is reassuring and the venue is convenient; I look forward to my class each week!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Charlotte for making your classes so enjoyable whilst keeping them very informative. Really clear guidance and instructions, Charlotte takes the time to check each move and explain the reasons for them. I Would recommend Charlotte to anyone either for group classes or private lessons.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Charlotte’s Body Control Pilates classes. I can hardly believe that after just a few sessions I am free from long-standing back pain issues. Charlotte has the perfect balance of positivity and support whilst gently correcting movements to ensure the best outcome. Each week I am learning techniques to strengthen and improve posture.

Fantastic experience: I have only been attending Charlotte's Pilates class for a month and already I can feel strength in my inner core and the the benefits of the exercises are evident. Although not a novice to Pilates, I have never attended a class which gives such individual attention. Charlotte demonstrates each movement and then moves between the members checking they are doing it correctly and if in difficulty provides an alternative. Time flies by as we move from each exercise. I am thoroughly enjoying the intimacy of the class and highly recommend Charlotte as a Pilates teacher.
