Christianne Hamilton25/11/2023I came to Complete Pilates by way of my back consultant. At first working with Complete Physio, I then progressed to one on one pilates with Complete Pilates. The communication and monitoring of my progression between the two was phenomenal. I had experts attuned to my challenges and progress on both sides, working with me to transform my lack of mobility, and imbalances stemming from two flat discs. The entire team is incredibly impressive. At every turn, I had an expert by my side who helped show me the way forward when I felt stuck. Each person I have worked with has a passion for what they do and deep respect for fitness and sport. I have done the rounds of physios and pilates in London over the years, and it is Complete Pilates and Complete Physio that have succeeded in bringing me back to the person I was. Waking up to no pain, back to cycling, weights at the gym and skiing to my standard. Special thanks to Louise Alwyn, Kelly Graecen, Georgetta, Annabel Hawker and Charlotte Byrne for working with me through it all.Olivia23/10/2023High calibre pilates teachers and physiosJosephine23/10/2023Amazing clinic and team!

Having had two hip operations before age 26 and now 30, I was struggling with day to day pain and unable to play the sports I love.

Thank you!!Vanessa Draper16/06/2023I have been a client of Complete Pilates since 2015 post spine surgery and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They have tailored a programme that has kept me strong and able to do most things despite the damage to my S1 nerve. The team are all professional and incredibly knowledgeable on how to achieve what the client needs. The benefit of having the one to one class is that your exercises are constantly monitored and adjusted to the tiniest detail maximise the positive effects. I always leave the studio feeling straighter, stronger and with a bounce in my step. Thank you Helen and the team.Hadyn Cunningham16/06/2023I have taking a Pilates lesson with Roxy Morgan for over two years and would recommend it highly .candj garwood16/06/2023My back consultant recommended Complete Pilates to help correct and control my scoliosis. The team asked for x-rays and medical reports to ensure I got the right treatment, and assigned me to Magda - who has suffered from scoliosis herself. I have been working with Magda for six months and seen huge improvements. I have tried other exercise programmes, but Complete Pilates has helped me really understand my condition, how to improve it and how to live around it. I cannot recommend Magda and Complete Pilates highly enough. Jenny G

Why Complete Pilates?
With so many Pilates studios to choose from, what makes Complete Pilates Islington different? Here are just some of the reasons our customers pick us:
Research and development
Complete Pilates offers more than just clinical Pilates classes: our team is made up of a mix of qualified clinical Pilates instructors and chartered physiotherapists. We work with our partners – Schoen Hospital alongside BARTS NHS Trust – in developing a physio-led form of Pilates that provides balance and strength and helps secure that all-important mind-body connection. As research improves, we keep our methods up to date and constantly respond to changes in innovation. We help beginners, experts, and those recovering from injury and illness.
Online classes
If you’re not comfortable exercising in front of a trainer or a full class, we get it. That’s why we offer online Pilates classes for every experience level, allowing you to access our expertise and guidance from your very own living room. Our online classes are ideal for busy mothers, those dealing with a busy professional life, or those who prefer to work out and exercise alone.
Our diverse team
Every member of the Complete Pilates team has undertaken extensive Pilates study, and most of our instructors hold the world-recognised Comprehensive Pilates qualification issued by Polestar Pilates. All of our rehab Pilates classes and 1-to-1 physiotherapy sessions are either carried out by a chartered physiotherapist or clinical Pilates instructor.
A Personalised Pilates experience
Our philosophy is simple: Pilates is for everyone! But that doesn’t mean that everyone should follow the same Pilates programme. We understand that our bodies progress and learn at different speeds and that injuries or medical conditions mean that some of us need more time to adapt to new movements.
Aside from offering full body assessments to identify your personal needs and capacities, we also provide a diverse range of Pilates classes and physiotherapy to suit every need and goal:
Pregnancy Pilates classes
Pregnancy can be a difficult time, and we understand that you might be hesitant about exercising while expecting. At Complete Pilates, we carry out personalised prenatal Pilates classes, each of which is catered and tailored to your specific prenatal needs. As all pregnancies are different, we prefer to offer 1-to-1 prenatal sessions, so we can ensure we’re personalising the experience for both you and your child.
Postnatal Pilates classes
It’s normal to feel disconnected from your body after pregnancy: the postpartum period can be incredibly strange and overwhelming, and we believe that Pilates can help restore that important mind-body connection. With a personalised 1-to-1 postnatal Pilates class, you’ll relearn how to connect to your body, while we’ll make sure to personalise the experience to suit your postpartum needs.
Rehab Pilates
Chronic pain and injuries can make it difficult to exercise, and can even make it difficult to perform regular day-to-day activities. If you’ve recently experienced an injury that impacts your ability to carry out your daily activities, or if you find that other forms of exercise trigger chronic pain, our rehab Pilates classes may be able to offer some relief.
With all rehab Pilates being taught or monitored by chartered physiotherapists, our team can help you improve your strength, work on your flexibility, and improve your coordination. With a full body assessment to help us better understand your needs, rehab Pilates is your first step into rejoining the world of fitness.
Beginner Pilates classes
Pilates might appear intimidating if you’ve never tried it – a bit like sushi or skydiving. But don’t worry – we offer beginner classes that have been expertly curated for novices and total beginners. You can either learn alongside peers and friends in a fun group class in our London studio, or master the moves at home by following an online class.
Thinking about joining Complete Pilates?
If you’re a new customer, we want to let you try out our services before you commit to several classes. We offer a one-time introductory price of £130 for two, 55-minute 1-to-1 sessions. This offer also includes a full body assessment, so that your instructor will be able to tailor your programme to suit your physical needs.
