Pilates Classes

Pilates classes focus on lengthening and aligning the your body, building strength, flexibility and lean muscle tone. Pilates also trains your core, which includes the diaphragm, transverse abdominus, pelvic floor, and multifidus muscles located between the shoulders and pelvis.

SOpilates classes are floor-based on a mat. Matwork is really accessible, you only need an exercise mat and space enough to stretch out. Matwork challenges you at your ability level, is super accessible, but not an easy way out!

Classes are based in several locations in and around Frome, Somerset or if you prefer you can join Sophy’s online classes.

Are you a new client?

Sophy shows a matwork, Pilates simple pose a new client might learn in a class.

If you are a new SOpilates client you will need an introductory session with me.

An introductory session helps me get to know you and think about which classes would most benefit you. An Introductory session is held in my studio and is 1hr 15mins, 

In your introductory session we will go through your responses in your enrolment form. I will then assess your posture and any issues or injuries. Finally we will confirm what you want to get out of Pilates, whether improving your fitness levels, recovery from injury, or training for a race.

Kind Words…

  • – Pilates Classes Client –

    “Pilates is not a quick fix solution but it has helped me enormously over the years and I have a much stronger core as a result of the work that I have done. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sophy as a Pilates teacher.”

  • – Long Term 1:1 Client –

    “I'm lucky enough to have known Sophy for the last 10 years, initially through group classes then 1:1 sessions. Her knowledge, expertise, support, encouragement and kindness have been invaluable to me in dealing with a progressive neurological condition. Sophy has been instrumental in helping me manage and maintain my health and mobility.”

  • – Reformer Pilates Client –

    “I started regular reformer Pilates with SOpilates after severing my anterior cruciate ligament in a skiing accident in 2016. Sophy is very diligent in making sure I am well balanced and my mobility and general fitness have improved under her care. She has a good insight into my abilities and physical aspirations and is a thoughtful and patient tutor.”

  • - Online Classes Benefits -

    “I have attended Sophy’s Zoom class since lockdown and find it very enjoyable, convenient and easy to follow, with the additional benefit of a video should you miss or want to repeat a session. Sophy is a very clear instructor, and is able to identify and accommodate individual limits.”

  • – Back Pain Client –

    “You are a genius with magical skills.”

  • – A SOpilates Client, Frome

    “Sophy is very diligent in making sure I am well-balanced and my mobility and general fitness have improved under her care. “

  • - Periodic Back Problems -

    “I jointed Sophy’s Pilates classes about 8 years ago suffering with periodic back problems. Pilates has made a huge difference to my life. Now in my 3rd year of retirement I rarely suffer any back discomfort, and am much more balanced and agile.”

  • – Long-Term Back Pain Client –

    “I have been attending Sophy’s Pilates classes for about 12 years. I started because of a bad back and didn't know what to expect. I thought it would be hard work and it is! But it is also a lot of fun, Sophy has a great sense of humour and we do have a lot of laughs in her classes.”
