Classical Pilates · Newton Mearns
Find your strength.
Move better. Live with confidence.
Small-group classical Pilates with the individual attention you would expect from personal training. With only four people in each class, you are taught—not simply asked to follow along.
01
Your strongest self is built one thoughtful movement at a time.
Welcome to The People's Pilates
Pilates for real bodies
and real life.
Our classes may be shared, but the teaching is personal. With only four people in the studio, your instructor can see how you move, give you individual cues and help you progress at the right pace.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all group workout. It is structured, progressive training using the complete classical Pilates system across the Reformer, Chair, Tower, Barrel and more.
Your way in
Start with the
Fundamentals.
Over four weeks, your instructor gets to know how you move. You’ll receive individual corrections, learn to use the equipment properly and build the foundations to progress confidently into Pilates 1.

Your Weekly Class
After Fundamentals, reserve your Reformer at the same day and time, with make-up options when life intervenes.
Individual teaching · Small-group energy
Small groups.
Personal teaching.
You’ll share the studio with no more than three other people. Everyone follows the same level and structure, while receiving the cues, adjustments and progressions that are right for them.
Pilates for Everyone+
For active people who want to become stronger, more mobile and more confident using the equipment.
Pilates Modified+
A slower-paced class with thoughtful modifications for previous injuries, surgery or changing needs.
Active Ageing+
Strength, balance, coordination and confidence for an active life—generally suited to people around 70 and beyond.
Pilates 1:1 & 2:1+
Individual or paired Pilates teaching tailored to your body, goals and experience. Other sessions may be taking place in the studio at the same time.
“You’ll find your strongest self buried in the practice of Pilates.”
The People’s Pilates
Meet Jennifer
Teaching movement
with purpose.
My first Pilates class was in a school library in Minnesota in 2000. I left feeling taller, more relaxed and unusually stronger—and I stayed curious.
After years of practice and comprehensive training, I opened The People’s Pilates to pass on the classical method in a way that is welcoming, intelligent and useful. I love seeing people become stronger and more confident in their movement—and in their lives.

Good to know
Your questions,
answered.
Do I need Pilates experience?+
No. Fundamentals is designed to teach you from the beginning, even if you are already fit or have tried another style of Pilates.
Why are classes so small?+
With four Reformers, your instructor can see you, help you and offer the right challenge without losing the energy of a group.
Is this personal training or a group class?+
It sits comfortably between the two. You receive the energy and value of a small group, with much of the observation, feedback and progression associated with personal training. With only four people in each class, you are never just another face in the room.
What happens after the four weeks?+
Your Fundamentals group naturally progresses into Pilates 1. You can then choose the membership commitment that suits you.
What if I have an injury?+
Contact us before booking. We may recommend Pilates Modified or a few Pilates 1:1 sessions so you can begin safely and confidently.
