About Complete Pilates London

A physiotherapist-led clinical Pilates company with three studios across London, Norfolk and online options to suit everyone — specialising in 1-to-1 and small group Reformer Pilates with programmes tailored to you.

From our Director and Founder, Helen O'Leary

In 2020 I challenged myself to write the first ever mission statement for Complete Pilates. I wanted to generate clarity and take the dreams that were in my head to put them down on paper.

A global pandemic, lots of changes both to the business and to myself personally meant that my vision for the company has shifted slightly so it is time to re-write the values we have.

The point of a mission statement is for us to check in and see whether the decisions we are making are helping us to achieve it. It gives us something to measure these decisions on, and if they don't get us a small step closer, help us decide whether we should be doing it.

We are continuing to grow and develop the services we offer. This is developing from a greater understanding of our experiences, new ideas coming into the team, and a wider variety of clients coming through our doors.

This statement allows new, and existing, members of the team, to understand the core values of the company and have something in common. It also allows for people to see whether they want to be a part of the company, whether it be instructors, employees, or clients.

What Our Clients Say

★★★★★

I have suffered with back pain for the past 30 years – I had Graph Ligament Stabilisation surgery in 1998, though continued to have issues over the following years.

In 2021 following a bone scan in London, I had revision surgery at the Schoen clinic to remove 2 of the original 6 screws, as they had become loose, affecting the surrounding nerves, and causing the pain which I had been suffering from.

The area of my spine where the screws were removed required careful rehab, as the paraspinal muscles had wasted away due to not being used for over 20 years.

After initial physiotherapy following surgery, I was recommended by a specialist at the Schoen clinic to get in touch with the team at Complete Pilates, to help rebuild my core strength. This was a game changer for me, in achieving a full recovery.

After making initial contact, I was booked in with a Clinical Pilates specialist. They took great care in our 1 to 1 sessions to help me with my initial recovery, never rushing me, which gave me great confidence that I was in safe hands.

I live on the south coast, and after a while, needed to find a solution to travel disruption issues getting to and from London. I bought my own Pilates Reformer and began virtual online sessions – it works brilliantly, hooked up to my iPad at home, my instructor was able to guide me through my sessions in the same way as when I used to visit the studio.

I have now been looked after by Complete Pilates for 2 years – the initial rehab of rebuilding my spinal muscles post-surgery was the main reason for seeking help – though as I have gained confidence, and felt the results of regular Pilates on my health and wellbeing, alongside really enjoying my sessions, I now hope to be able to continue with Complete for years to come. Fitness wise, I am in the best shape of my adult life – After 30 years of pain / discomfort, I never thought I would achieve the levels I have.

I had a great surgeon, who thankfully was able to diagnose and treat the initial problem – though surgery without the best rehab, in my view lessens your chances of a full recovery. The team at Complete Pilates have changed my life, and I am very grateful for that.
