Mat Pilates in Penshurst

Pilates, back to the mat.

Forty minutes of controlled movement, core strength, mobility and plenty of variety — with small classes and an instructor who can actually see you.

Another piece of the Pilates puzzle

Reformer gets plenty of attention, but there’s a lot to love about taking Pilates back to the mat.

Without the Reformer doing part of the work with you, your own body becomes the focus. We use classic Pilates principles alongside plenty of variety — and often a few props — to create classes that build strength, control, mobility and body awareness.

And you don’t have to choose between Mat and Reformer. Many of our members do both. They feel different, challenge you differently, and together give you a more well-rounded Pilates practice.

If Inspired is your main place to move, mix things up. Mat, Reformer, Barre and Yoga all bring something different — and combining them gives your body more variety than doing the same style every time.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to bring a mat?

Bring your own if you like, or use one of ours — we have mats at the studio.

Do I need Pilates experience?

No. Our Mat classes are suitable for beginners, and your instructor can help you find the right option for you.

Is Mat Pilates easier than Reformer?

Not necessarily. They simply feel different. Mat Pilates uses your own body rather than the Reformer springs and carriage, and less equipment doesn’t automatically mean less challenge.

Can I do both Mat and Reformer Pilates?

Absolutely. In fact, we encourage it. Each challenges you in a different way, and mixing your classes gives you a more varied, well-rounded workout — particularly if Inspired is your main place to move.
