Ankor Pilates Reviews 19

I’ve been going for almost a year and have found the classes really good and teachers helpful . It’s good for mixed ability and learners, as they show you how to move into the positions slowly and safely rather than just push through!

Great range of teachers, classes and locations, aimed at beginners, friendly staff, easy booking system and lots of offers and incentives

My partner and I have been attending the Saturday morning classes at Christ Church regularly and, as complete Pilates novices, have found the whole experience absolutely fantastic! Ailsa's classes are always varied, but she explains each step very clearly and has a very friendly and encouraging manner.
We leave each class feeling a great sense of well being and my partner's Sciatica has disappeared completely!

We've also found the help with the admin side of things from Dawn and Zoe to have been really friendly and helpful

We recently also attended the Tuesday morning class at Telegraph Hill which was a similarly positive experience in a lovely setting!

We thoroughly recommend Ankor Pilates!

I love the Ankor Pilates classes - they’re the highlight of my week! My body always feels amazing afterwards and the classes are varied so I never get bored. I started to feel significantly stronger after a few weeks. Would definitely recommend

My regular teacher Irene is very helpful and explains exercises very well for both beginners and people with pilates experience. There's always a good warm up and build up into exercises and I can feel confident in knowing I'm doing it right or how to adjust. It's a little expensive and I had one lesson with another instructor which was less good but overall it's been great.

The classes at Ankor are really high quality proper Pilates that I find really helpful when marathon training. The instructors are very friendly and professional, and Zoe and Dawn are always kind and flexible!

The classes at Christ Church, East Dulwich remain extremely convenient and very well timed on a Saturday morning.

In addition to Ailsa (and the occasional stand-ins) being fabulous, the communications from Dawn and Zoe are excellent.

I will shortly be trying the Telegraph Hill venue - more on that soon!

I have really enjoyed my classes at Ankor Pilates and am gutted that, due to changed circumstances, I am no longer able to be a member. I mainly took intermediate lessons at Telegraph Hill on a Friday morning and found them excellent- stretching (in all senses!), supportive and mentally and physically absorbing.

Ankor Pilates is a fantastic asset for the community. The teachers are terrific; the team is super well run and responsive. Attention to each individual and their specific needs (esp with back care issues) is better than I’ve experienced with other Pilates classes. Well worth every penny!!!

I’ve loved the Beginner’s classes. They have been just the right pace and intensity, and Sophie (the teacher) has always made sure to share any adaptations that can be made for those of us dealing with pain or injury. Communication with Dawn is always fantastic, and I’m glad there’s such a warm and inclusive class to go to in my local area. Love these guys!

I’m a Goldsmiths student, and I was so sad that there’s no gym around New Cross anymore! However, since I discovered Ankor Pilates, my life has been rescued. I suffer from chronic neck and back pain, but it always feels better whenever I keep up with my workouts. Thanks to Dawn, I received excellent instruction on the lesson system, and I absolutely love the classes and their effects, thanks to Lauren and Sophie. Highly recommend it, and I hope my health continues to improve!

Ankor Pilates has really improved my back pain over the last 3-4 months. The teachers are welcoming and kind. Lauren makes welcomed adjustments and her classes are always calm and well guided. Thank you!

These classes are really well structured and paced. The teachers take great care to offer individual support and instruction when helpful. I am feeling stronger with each class, and really enjoying the sessions. There is plenty of choice available (different teachers, days, times and levels).

Teachers are great and as someone who had never done Pilates before I found the sessions very approachable. I have been a member for 4 months or so and have really noticed an improvement in my core and flexibility. They take you through each movement so even a beginner can follow along. They have also been very helpful with any questions around the session as well as customer support. Thanks Ankor 👍

I’ve really enjoyed the classes. I’ve settled on a regular slot unless I have to change if it changes and all the teachers have been great. They are attentive and check in throughout the class to ensure I’m following the correct technique. I’ve noticed an increase in my core strength and flexibility after only a few months.

I’ve been attending these classes for a few months and cannot recommend them enough - particularly for anyone struggling with a lower back injury. The classes are kept small and without music to ensure the instructors can be super attentive, and gives you the space to focus.
Lauren, Livi and Ailsa have been absolute stand-out instructors, who are all welcoming, attuned to their clients abilities and accomodating to any injuries!

The teachers really take the time to ensure that the class is working for all... They offer adaptions if something is too easy or hard. I am slightly addicted to these classes now!

I’ve been attending classes here for a while now, and I truly love it. Every session leaves me feeling stronger, more centered, and refreshed.
The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and attentive to each person’s level. They guide you with care.
Even as a beginner, I felt completely at ease from day one.
Highly recommended if you’re looking for a mindful and empowering approach to movement!

The offering of self-selected ability classes and such encouraging and adaptable instructors is a great combination for getting into pilates regularly, wherever you are at
