Ranked in the top 6 pilates studios in Manchester 2023!

Master Manchester

Liz is calming and encouraging. I’ve achieved so much more than I ever thought I would be able to do! She takes the time to ask you how you are feeling and review any symptoms you may have each appointment and adapts the session to suit your individual needs. The equipment is thoroughly cleaned before each session so you can be comfortable using the reformer. I look forward to every appointment and leave feeling powerful and calm.

My daughter persuaded me to see Liz as my flexibility and core strengths were so poor. After working with Liz for over a year now my quality of life has improved dramatically along with my sense of well-being. I can garden for extended periods of time, my golf has improved as has my ballance and posture. My hour with Liz is one of the highlights of my week. She works you hard but is great fun to be with. Can't recommend her highly enough.

Liz is a true life saver! Been working with her for over a year now after being involved in a car accident and then throughout my pregnancy and postnatal recovery. She is very pleasant and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get physically active under professional guidance.

Liz is an amazing professional, very knowledgeable, gentle and patience. The wide range of reformer-based exercises at 1-to-1 sessions in her studio is brilliant, as well as the training materials provided to utilise on your own at home. Her studio has the most relaxing, calm, safe and warm feel, and my 1-to-1 sessions continue to be the highlight of my week! I could not recommend enough :)

Liz is really incredible at her job, I felt so safe and guided by the strength of her knowledge and expertise. I was able to work through multiple areas of my bodys strength and exercise within the first session. I am looking forward to visiting again and accessing the great facilities she has in this wonderful space.

“If you are on the fence about doing this or not sure if its for you I couldn't recommend this more. I have had terrible back pain on and off for years, I was given my first hour with Liz as a gift from my wife and it was incredible. I will book more sessions as soon as I can and I would tell anyone that isn't 100% about trying it, you have nothing to lose but the pain and discomfort. Liz has a great temperament and explains everything simply and completely, while being very encouraging and positive. Thanks Liz and see you soon"

Mark

Liz is the best instructor I ever had, she's exceptionally professional, approaching everything very scientifically, every session was carefully designed, and they're informative and practical.

Nicole

There's no better way to start the day. I needed to regain confidence for exercising, after a recent trauma, and this ticked every box. I highly recommend.

James

I decided to treat myself to a block of 1:1 reformer pilates sessions at Poise reformer pilates so I could train myself at work but it just wasn’t happening for a few reasons so I decided to place myself in the very talented and amazing hands of Poise Reformer Pilates. I don’t think that there is anything that she doesn’t know about reformer pilates. The studio space is just beautiful, calm & really smells lovely but it is still a place to work hard & no doubt that I definitely did work so much harder than I do under my own steam. So having set my goals; overall body strength with a slight emphasis on improving my running (might change this to BIG emphasis on running now I have secured a Great North Run place) my first session focused more on the gluts & quads. I especially loved my introduction to the kick board. Fab for proprioception, endorphin release and just so much fun! No photos of my session as my phone stayed in my bag which is another winning situation (me time) but do check out @poisereformerpilates page, there is a video of the kick board! I love reformer pilates & am so looking forward to my next session

Helen

I have been working with Liz for nearly a year now and have seen such an improvement in my strength. She’s a total expert when it comes to even the tiniest of muscle groups, and uses her Physio expertise to guide recovery and strengthening in the areas I need it most. Not only have I seen great results I also really look forward to our sessions - the studio is beautiful and Liz is a lovely person to spend a Friday morning with. Thanks for everything Liz!

Leanne

I have been taking classes with Liz for over a year and she's been amazing. Everything has been tailored to suit my needs/goals and I feel so much stronger than I did before starting. She has a wealth of knowledge and is really friendly and welcoming. I couldn't recommend enough!

Hannah

I would highly recommend Poise Reformer Pilates - Liz is warm, friendly and makes you feel at ease at every session. I've struggled to find an exercise that I have connected with and enjoyed, but starting reformer Pilates has very much remedied that and I look forward to going back each time. Sessions are fun, informative and all helped by Liz's encouraging words and extra challenges to really reap the rewards!

Charlotte

I love, love this place very much. Professional and patient guidance and warm studio make me more willing to do pilates. Liz is so lovely and makes the classes really enjoyable. I am honestly so glad I found her. If you want to try Reformer Pilates, don't hesitate, please choose Poise Reformer Pilates!!!

"2 years ago a herniated a disc and have been suffering nerve damage and long term back pain since. I started looking at Poise's website for several weeks umming and ahing due to fear of making things worse. I finally took the plunge and booked my first session and haven't looked back since! Liz put my mind at ease from the get go with her knowledge, qualifications and attention to detail in making sure my sessions were adequate to my needs and pushing my body when needed. And i feel stronger and more mobile than at any point for 2 years. I started attending sessions in the Spring of 2021 when lockdown was being eased and the cleanliness of the studio and precautions being taken are second to none. My advice if you are considering it but aren't sure if it is worthwhile. My answer is Yes, YES YES!"

Jason

“Liz is an exceptional 1:1 Pilates instructor. Having many years of experience working with specialised and physio-led instructors in Australia, I came looking for my new Pilates partner in South Manchester with very high standards. Liz has exceeded all my expectations. She's dedicated to making every movement during my sessions count, with excellent feedback and focus on progression each week. Her approach gets results - my body looks and feels great, and I can't wait to be back in her studio for my next session!"

Tamara

"Fantastic 121 reformer Pilates with Liz. Using the machine helps to bring a new dimension to Pilates and working one on one with Liz really helps to focus in on those key problem areas safely, avoiding injury. Liz has also helped provide follow up exercises that I can do between sessions. Liz is a great teacher who has created a supportive, encouraging and covid safe environment. Would 100% recommend a session in this hidden Chorlton gem"

Heather

“Had a 1-2-1 session with Liz and it was amazing. Started using the reformer from the moment I got there and utilised my full 60 minutes. Liz helped and guided me through working on muscles that I didn’t know I had. I was also given tips and exercises to take away with me to help me for future pilates.. Thanks Liz."

Firdaus

I love my sessions with Liz, I just wish I could do more than one session a week. You can't beat the one-to-one instruction and Liz explains everything really well. I've got a couple of injuries and I feel comfortable explaining my concerns with Liz. I thoroughly recommend Poise, you won't regret it!
