Sound familiar?
The things people tell us before they start.
“I'll feel out of place at my age”
Our average member is over 50, and our oldest is in her 80s. You'll be in very good company.
“I've got a bad back or old injury”
Tell us at your induction and we'll layer every exercise around it. Half our members came to us because of pain, not despite it.
“I can't commit to a fixed class time”
With 25+ classes a week across seven days, plus Zoom, you book what suits your week, not a fixed slot forever.
“I don't know if Pilates is right for me”
Then don't guess. The £79 Intro Offer gives you an induction plus four classes, with a money-back guarantee.
“I've tried classes before and felt lost”
Everyone starts with a mandatory 90-minute induction, max 6 people. You'll know the moves and the names before your first class.

Members
In their own words.
"I've been doing Pilates with Emma for almost 10 years. It is the one thing I have stuck with, because it's enjoyable, manageable and a great community to be part of. If you're thinking about taking up Pilates, the Pilates Corner is the best place to start!"
"Since joining 2 years ago, my whole mindset has changed - exercise is no longer a chore. I love my sessions at The Pilates Corner and at 49 I feel stronger than ever!"
"I started Pilates to strengthen my core and sort out my back problems but now it's become an essential part of the way I keep healthy and fit. And it's great to know you can count on support and advice when you need it."
"At 86 I look forward to my Tuesday chair Pilates every week. The trainers always advise on whether you should try an exercise if you have a physical problem. I find it enjoyable and it helps strengthen my core and balance. I would recommend this class to everyone."
"I am 80 years of age and have been attending classes at Pilates Corner since 2022 when we moved into Baldock. I have been warmly greeted by Emma and her staff and the exercises help to keep me fit. I recommend Pilates Corner wholeheartedly."
"Being part of The Pilates Corner has given me consistency and calm in the middle of busy weeks. It's become my reset button, a space where I can breathe, strengthen, and come back to myself."

About
Hello, I'm Emma.
I founded The Pilates Corner because Baldock deserved a proper mat Pilates studio, not a corner of a leisure centre with 30 people and a microphone. I'm Level 4 qualified with Assessor designation, and I've been teaching for over 13 years.
These days I also train the next generation of instructors, but the best part of my week is still watching someone realise they can do something they thought their body had given up on.
