Pilates By The Green
We are a family business, a husband and wife team, with a strong ethos on creating lasting and enjoyable relationships – with our clients and our team.
Our studios are little enclaves in the suburbs – friendly and welcoming places. It’s important to us that, initially, you don’t feel intimidated by all the equipment and principles of Pilates. Then, as you continue with Pilates, to feel part of the studio, to feel valued, and importantly to see that you are progressing. Pilates is about precision, but it is also about movement. Our aim is to get you moving: quickly, safely and with control.
We started Pilates by the Green in the late 90’s, and moved to Hampstead Garden Suburb in 2005.
In 2022 we took on the stewardship of Karen Smith Pilates in Muswell Hill – one of the oldest traditional studios in London. Now rebranded to Muswell Hill Pilates. With lots of love and attention we have made it a busy, vibrant hub. It’s a beautiful studio – a calm place to practice, and it has incredible views of north london.
In Spring 2025 we opened a new, larger studio in East Finchley. It’s next to the prominent classic car showroom, Hexagon Classics. We offer our unique brand of high quality tuition here, but also have a cafe on site, as well as plentiful parking in front.

Experience
Our dedicated team of instructors brings years of teaching expertise and a passion for continued professional development. We don’t just teach Pilates; we live it. To learn more about their unique qualifications and backgrounds, we invite you to read their bios.
Stability
Consistency is key to your progress. Our cohesive team has worked together for years, fostering a stable and supportive environment. This ensures a consistent standard of teaching and a deep, personal commitment to your well-being, session after session.
By Appointment Only
We believe that quality should never be compromised. Our “by appointment only” model ensures that every client is placed in a suitable class for their skill level and goals, maintaining a healthy, effective, and tailored learning environment. It’s this laser focus on quality over convenience that stops us using a booking system.
Small Classes
We cap our group classes at a maximum of five people, and our floor classes at a maximum of 10.. This isn’t just a number; it’s our promise of a high level of personal attention. With a small, intimate setting, we can focus on your form, address your specific needs, and ensure you get the most out of every single movement.
No Booking System
We don’t have one because it doesn’t fit our focus on maintaining a high level of quality control of our levels. The convenience of online booking, for us, is not a strong enough reason to push extra tech and admin onto our clients. With super simple processes we can devote more time to you.
