Pilates has always made me feel alive, strong, calm, and in control.
That’s why I created Alison Pilates, a Reformer Pilates studio in Salisbury, offering expert coaching in small, supportive classes where everyone is welcomed and encouraged to discover what your body is capable of.
Every class is taught in small groups, allowing us to provide the individual attention, expert coaching, and encouragement that our clients value so highly.
Whether you're taking your very first Pilates class, recovering from injury, returning after having a baby, or simply looking for a different way to move, you'll be welcomed, supported, and encouraged every step of the way.
Together, we'll help you build strength, confidence, and a lasting connection with your body.
MOVE BETTER. FEEL STRONGER.
BUILD CONFIDENCE.
Why Choose Alison?
I believe Pilates has the power to change the way you move, feel, and live, helping you become stronger, more confident, and more connected to your body.
That's why I created Alison Pilates, a welcoming studio where people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds can enjoy the benefits of movement in a supportive, encouraging environment.
Whether you're recovering from injury, managing a long-term health condition, returning after having a baby, or simply looking for a different way to exercise, we'll meet you where you are and help you move forward with confidence.
My teaching is centred around precision, quality of movement, and understanding your body. As your technique develops, you'll build strength, improve balance and flexibility, and gain movement patterns that support you in everyday life—not just in the studio.
Why Small Classes Matter
I deliberately designed the studio for small classes because I believe everyone deserves individual attention.
Small groups mean we can adapt exercises to suit your needs, help you progress safely, and ensure you get the most from every session.

Pilates on another level! It’s all about mastering the technique in Alison’s classes. With her clear and precise instructions I have learned that it’s actually harder than you think! I always come away feeling like I’ve toned my whole body, am more relaxed and feeling ready for the day. I would totally recommend you try it.

find the right class for you
Whether you're completely new to Pilates or looking for specialist support, there's a class that's right for you.
Having not done Pilates before, I felt very confident with Alison coaching me. She guided me step by step through the class, ensuring at each point that I held the right pose so I got the most from the class. I definitely felt energised after her class and that it was beneficial. I’ve even referred her to another friend as I thought she was just what was needed.

Hi, I'm Alison, founder of Alison Pilates.
Pilates has been part of my life for more than 35 years, helping me stay strong, recover from injuries, and continue doing the things I love.
After a long career in public service, I decided to follow my passion and create a welcoming Pilates studio where everyone feels supported, whatever their age, experience, or starting point.
Today I teach Reformer and Mat Pilates in my own Salisbury studio, helping people build strength, confidence, better posture, and a lasting connection with their bodies.
