Pilates with Amy

06/09/2026

It has been SO long since I’ve posted on here, so I thought I would do a little reintroduction.

I’m Amy and I have been teaching Pilates in Gloucestershire for 10 years now. I can’t believe it’s been that long, where has the time gone 😳 I trained to be a teacher, because obviously I love Pilates, but also because I wanted to teach people how to move better, feel strong and confident.

This is the start of me being a little more present on this page. Swipe through to find out more about me 🤸🏼‍♀️

I am the founder of Reform & Flow - Reformer Pilates, a reformer Pilates studio in Gloucester.

I opened the studio a year ago and I absolutely love it. Most of my classes on my weekly schedule are reformer and are taught in this studio (check out the studio insta for the timetable and to book).

Honestly, when I first qualified as a Pilates teacher, I didn’t see myself teaching reformer, let alone having a studio. Reformer wasn’t as popular back then as it is now, but I love how much it’s grown!

Even though I am spending most of my week teaching reformer Pilates at my studio, I’m still teaching a couple of mat Pilates classes a week.

I’ve kept these going because I wanted my clients to have the opportunity to practise both with me.

My mat classes are:
Wednesdays 10-11am @ Longlevens Community centre
Wednesdays 7:15-8:15pm @ Elmbridge Primary School

Drop me a message if you would like to book!

Outside of teaching Pilates, I train multiple times a week in the gym. This is a mix of strength training and conditioning work, with a couple of runs thrown into the week too. I’ve competed in 3 Hyrox’s with another coming up in December. I keep saying I’m retiring from them but somehow always gets convinced to do another one 🤣 as crazy as it sounds, this helps me to switch off from work and all things Pilates.

I believe strength work, conditioning and Pilates all compliment each other and make me feel my best self. Plus I enjoy them all and I’m very lucky I can do all of this!I don’t just do Pilates and wouldn’t say to a client they should only do Pilates.

I also love my food and drink. I love trying new restaurants and have a list of places I want to visit that I’m slowly

All fours flow using the risers. This will challenge your overall stability 🥵

Make sure knees are under the hips. Use the deep core muscles to stabilise the spine - imagine you’re balancing a tray of drinks on your back. You’ll feel the biceps and upper back work on the pulling arm, but also those stabilising muscles in the shoulder on the side that is still. Try and keep pelvis still when doing the leg crossover.

- Arm pull
- Arm pull hold
- Opposite leg extension with arm pull
- Leg pulses
- Alternate arm pull and leg crossover

A flow I’ve been doing in class this week to work those glutes 🍑🔥

- Hip extension
- External hip rotation
- Backward circles
- Forward circles

Focus on keeping hips stacked and still whilst moving the thigh. Stay lifted through the waist and use the deep core muscles to stabilise the spine. Keep hold of the ball by engaging those hamstrings!
