Reformer Pilates for Bournemouth
Parkstone Pilates is a purpose built studio at Ashley Cross, on the Poole side of Westbourne and a short run from central Bournemouth. Reformer classes are capped at six and every class is taught by a fully qualified Pilates teacher, so you get corrections you can feel rather than a place in a crowded room.

FAQ
Coming from Bournemouth: common questions
Where is the studio, coming from Bournemouth?
Unit 1, 209 Ashley Road, Lower Parkstone, Poole BH14 9DR. It sits at Ashley Cross, the next neighbourhood along from Westbourne, so it is a short run west along the coast road or the Poole Road from central Bournemouth.
Is there parking?
There is on-street parking on Ashley Road and the residential roads around Ashley Cross, plus the Ashley Cross car parks a short walk away. Most people arriving by car park within a couple of minutes of the door.
Do you take beginners from Bournemouth?
Yes. Every reformer class is capped at six, so a first-timer gets real corrections rather than a spot at the back. The Discovery Pass is built for a first visit.
How is this different from a big gym reformer class?
Class size and who is teaching. Six people on six reformers, taught by fully qualified Pilates teachers at Level 3 and Level 4, in a studio built for Pilates rather than a converted studio room in a gym.
Can I train online instead of travelling?
Yes. The live online membership is real matwork classes taught in real time over video, a minimum of three a week, live only and never recorded. Plenty of people from Bournemouth mix online matwork with reformer in the studio.
Do you cover Westbourne, Branksome and Canford Cliffs?
Yes. Ashley Cross is a few minutes from Westbourne, Branksome, Penn Hill and Canford Cliffs, and we teach people from across Bournemouth, Poole and the wider Dorset coast.
