Our peaceful, fully equipped studio is located on Bridge Street in central Leatherhead, around a 10-minute drive from Oxshott via the A244, depending on traffic.

With more than 40 sessions available each week, we offer Pilates for complete beginners through to experienced clients, with an emphasis on careful instruction, good technique and individual attention.

Small Pilates classes close to Oxshott

One of the things that makes Axis different from many larger exercise classes is the amount of individual attention we are able to provide.

Our Matwork Pilates classes are limited to seven people, while our Reformer Pilates classes have no more than four participants.

Keeping classes small gives our instructors the opportunity to observe how you are moving, explain exercises clearly and offer adjustments or alternatives where appropriate.

This can be particularly reassuring if you are new to Pilates or have previously felt uncomfortable in larger group exercise environments.

It also means more experienced clients can continue to develop their technique and progress without becoming lost within a crowded class.

Matwork Pilates near Oxshott

Matwork Pilates is an excellent way to learn and develop the fundamental principles of Pilates.

Exercises are performed on a mat using your own body weight for resistance, sometimes incorporating small Pilates equipment such as resistance bands, overballs, Pilates circles and foam rollers.

During a Matwork class, you may work on:

  • Core and whole-body strength
  • Flexibility and mobility
  • Balance and coordination
  • Postural awareness
  • Breathing and movement control
  • Greater awareness of how your body moves

Exercises can be adapted for different levels of experience and ability, allowing you to work at a pace that is appropriate for you.

If you live in Oxshott and would like a friendly, supportive Pilates class nearby, our Leatherhead studio is only a short journey away.

Reformer Pilates near Oxshott

If you are searching for Reformer Pilates near Oxshott, Axis offers small classes using specialist Pilates Reformer equipment.

A Reformer consists of a moving carriage together with adjustable springs, straps and pulleys. Depending on the exercise, the equipment can provide resistance, assistance and valuable feedback about the way your body is moving.

Reformer Pilates can provide a varied full-body workout while helping develop:

  • Core strength
  • Whole-body strength and endurance
  • Mobility and flexibility
  • Balance and coordination
  • Postural awareness
  • Movement control

Our Reformer classes have a maximum of four participants, allowing your instructor to pay close attention to your technique and help you use the equipment confidently.

Classes are available at different levels, from beginner sessions through to more challenging classes for experienced Pilates clients.

New to Pilates?

You do not need to be particularly strong, flexible or experienced before starting Pilates.

In fact, many of our clients arrive having never tried Pilates before.

Our instructors will explain the movements, help you understand the basic principles and encourage you to work within a range that feels appropriate for your body.

Pilates is not about competing with the person next to you or forcing yourself into positions. The focus is on developing control, awareness and quality of movement gradually over time.

If you have an injury, medical condition or particular concern about exercising, please let us know before booking. We can then help you decide whether a group class or an individual session would be the best place to begin.

Private Pilates sessions near Oxshott

For an even more personalised approach, we also offer private and semi-private Pilates sessions.

A private session gives your instructor the opportunity to focus entirely on your individual movement, goals and requirements.

Private Pilates may be particularly useful if you:

  • Are completely new to Pilates
  • Would like individual attention before joining a class
  • Are returning to exercise following an injury or operation
  • Have a particular movement concern
  • Are working alongside a physiotherapist, osteopath or other healthcare professional
  • Are preparing for or returning to exercise following pregnancy
  • Have specific strength, mobility or sporting goals

Our private sessions can incorporate a wide range of Pilates equipment including the Reformer, Cadillac, Pilates chairs and smaller equipment.

We also offer semi-private sessions for two or three people, which can be a great option if you would like to practise Pilates with a partner, friend or family member.

Pilates for posture, strength and mobility

One of the reasons people are drawn to Pilates is that it does not simply concentrate on exercising individual muscles.

Pilates encourages the body to work as a coordinated whole, combining strength, mobility, balance, breathing and awareness.

Regular practice may help you become more aware of how you sit, stand and move throughout everyday life.

You may begin to notice habits such as rounding your shoulders while working, relying more heavily on one side of your body or holding unnecessary tension in certain areas.

By developing greater strength and movement awareness, Pilates can help you feel more confident and comfortable both inside and outside the studio. You can read more in our guide to Pilates for posture.
