Core Kensington
Book bespoke private sessions with one of our highly qualified team of certified STOTT PILATES instructors, overseen by a registered osteopath. Tailored around you, we address your own personal needs. Start your Pilates journey now! This is basically an intermediate level class that allows for stops and starts order to teach the more complex intermediate exercises.

Thereby, when you get to level 3 - Intermediate, you don't have to stop to learn them, but rather beautifully flow through the repertoire like a dance without stopping. We suggest that you clearly understand our basic principles before you progress to this level. We will not be able to stop to teach the intermediate exercises in this class.

Carlo's affection for Pilates was born after a dance injury when he discovered the benefits of spinal rehabilitation through the contemporary STOTT PILATES method. His eye for precision and attention to detail stems from dancing professionally with various ballet companies and from teaching professional dancers and athletes.

An absolutely amazing team! Tisha & Carlo’s piercing understanding of the body anatomy as well as the motor neural pathways is pivotal when it comes to dealing with issues related to the musculoskeletal system. Their complementary approach re-sets the body by “wakening” essential parts that were just “dormant” due to the build up of unavoidable modern life habits impacting our postures. I cannot recommend this team enough.

Efficient, clean and well run boutique Pilates gym, I can highly recommend them for their professionalism and quality of training. Carlo's classes during various lock downs have kept me sane!

Core Kensington is a really lovely Pilates studio - light, bright, modern and very clean. The teaching is very precise and specific to help you ensure you have the right technique before advancing; so important. Carlo gave an excellent and very refined Basics class (only basic in learning the techniques) and Everton always teaches with precision and warmth. I highly recommend this place!

After years of wanting to try pilates, I finally took the plunge with Carlo & his team at Core Kensington. I have been doing one-to-one classes with Carlo for some time now, and have quickly seen an amazing transformation of how my body looks, but most importantly how it feels.
Carlo as a teacher is professional yet friendly and super supportive. He has put me totally at ease when I was a nervous starter, and I've found his knowledge about the human body really enlightening and his guidance has helped me to improve my health in so many ways. I came to know later that he's a really respected and

I have been training with Carlo for almost 6 years. He is truly incredible, very knowledgable and extremely meticulous. Carlo loves what he does and his passion is reflected in his results. His hard work, devotion to his clients, unparalleled knowledge of Pilates and his knowledge of anatomy through his qualification as an Osteopath all create incredible results physically as well as physiologically for his clients. Carlo has created the most beautiful Pilates studio that provides the highest standard for reformer/matt Pilates for his clients in London. It is also a great place to socialise and

As a professional dancer I have been practising Pilates for a good number of years to maintain peak performance. Core Kensington is the one place I have found where the dedication to practicing specific form is really taken seriously. The classes have a small number of students enabling the teaches to absolutely focus on each person as if one might be in a private lesson.

Carlo, the owner, and his team are fantastic! I started working with Carlo to rehab a sports injury and felt results immediately after the first session. His expertise and knowledge in pilates, osteopathy, and sport movement has helped me become pain free. It is refreshing to work with someone that listens and can develop a specific program for you. He even checked in a couple days after our first session to follow up on my progress. I honestly think that Carlo and his super qualified team can help anyone reach his or her goals!
