Max 12 per classYou're never just a face in the crowd
25+ classes a week7 days, daytimes & evenings
Come for the Pilates. Stay for the community.
We're not a gym. We're not a chain. We're a small, independent studio in Baldock where the instructors know your name, your dodgy knee, and what you're working towards.
- ✓ Small classes only - never more than 12 people, so you always get proper attention and corrections
- ✓ Every exercise is layered - beginners and experienced members work side by side without anyone feeling out of their depth
- ✓ Instructors who actually listen - we adapt to your body, your limitations, and your goals every single session
- ✓ Flexible timetable - 25+ classes across 7 days. Book the same spot weekly or chop and change. It's your membership
- ✓ A genuine community - most of our members have been with us for years. That's not luck, that's the culture we've built
We know exactly why you've been putting this off
Most of our members said the same things before they joined. We've heard every reason - and we've helped every single type of person move past them.
"I'm too unfit or inflexible to start"
You don't need to be bendy or fit. That's literally the point - Pilates is how you get there. Our induction makes sure you're never thrown in at the deep end.
"I'll feel out of place at my age"
Our average member age is over 50. The atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and genuinely non-intimidating. No competitive atmosphere, no "young bunnies".
"I've got a bad back or old injury"
You're in exactly the right place. Many of our longest-standing members joined because of back pain or post-injury recovery. Our instructors adapt every exercise for you.
"I can't commit to a fixed class time"
You don't have to. With 25+ classes a week, you can book differently every week to fit your life. Work changes, family happens - your membership flexes with you.
"I don't know if Pilates is right for me"
That's exactly what our £79 intro offer is for. Induction plus four classes, money-back guarantee. No long contract, no pressure. Try it properly and decide.
"I've tried classes before and felt lost"
Our induction is a non-negotiable for every new member. You walk into your first class already knowing the foundations - and the instructor already knows you.
"You could be like the majority of our members that wish they'd started with us sooner."

What our members say
No stock photos. No invented reviews. These are real people who come to class every week.
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. The classes are varied so you can push yourself or keep at a lower level if you need to that day. 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 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.
I joined in January 2018 as I suffer from chronic pain and I haven't looked back. The instructors adapt all exercises for me. My core strength has improved immensely, and so has my mental health - making friends and having fun while working out is all part of attending The Pilates Corner.
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.
Being a member of the Pilates Corner isn't like any other gym membership. It's a family that I love being a part of. Your instructor will become your friend, you'll get tailored support and you'll have fun while getting fitter and healthier. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Founded on dedication
and a passion for people.
The Pilates Corner was founded by Emma, a Level 4 qualified Pilates instructor with an Assessor designation and over 13 years of teaching experience. Emma built TPC because she believed there was a better way to deliver Pilates - smaller, more personal, with genuine care for every member's progress.
Every instructor at TPC shares the same values: attentive, supportive, judgement-free teaching where every exercise is adapted to the person in front of them.
We're the only dedicated mat Pilates studio in Baldock. We don't do big classes, big egos, or big contracts. We do brilliant Pilates, warm community, and results that speak for themselves.
