Pilates & private training at London City Physiotherapy

At our London City Clinic, our Pilates and private training programmes blend clinical rigour with movement-based care. Whether you’re recovering from injury, building strength, or enhancing body awareness, our expert instructors work closely with our physiotherapists to deliver tailored, results-driven training.

One-on-One Pilates Reformer & Equipment Training

The Pilates reformer is one of our standout tools — a dynamic, adjustable apparatus that enables resistance-based movement in lying, sitting, kneeling, or standing positions. At London City, we use it to lengthen and strengthen simultaneously, helping correct postural imbalances, improve muscle control, and expand your range of motion.

But real transformation happens when reformer work is combined with guidance. Our private training sessions are led by instructors who are dual-qualified in Pilates (mat and equipment) and personal training. This means your programme is not just about movement — it’s structured, progressive, safe, and aligned with your specific goals.

We understand that each person’s needs differ. That’s why we offer flexible private training packages tailored to your goals:

  • Introductory offer (3 sessions)
  • Single sessions
  • Packages (5, 10 or 20 sessions)

These packages give you the freedom to commit gradually or intensify your training over time — always with expert support and adjustments to ensure safety and progression.

Rehabilitation, performance & movement integration

We don’t treat Pilates as a “fitness class” — it’s a tool that our therapists and trainers use within a therapeutic and performance framework. Whether you’re returning from injury or preparing for athletic demands, your instructor will work in harmony with physiotherapy assessments, ensuring that your movement remains functional, resilient, and pain-free. Every session begins with an assessment of your movement patterns, core control, flexibility, and strength. From there, you’ll be guided through bespoke exercises — on the reformer, wunda chair, tower, or mat — with adjustments and progressions applied methodically. We aim for steady improvement, not just momentary effort.  

Who benefits the most from Pilates

Pilates and private training at London City Clinic suit a wide range of clients. Those recovering from musculoskeletal injury or surgery, people needing postural correction and core stability, athletes wanting to refine movement, and everyday individuals seeking improved strength, control, and body awareness. All sessions adapt to your level — whether you’re new to Pilates or experienced in movement practice — but always with a clinical foundation beneath the training.
