Through the power of Zoom our teachers can check your technique and provide personalised feedback. Even with the problems posed by Lockdown we're doing all we can to make sure our clients understand each exercise and do them effectively. If you haven't had much success in online follow-along classes, or don't always understand the purpose behind certain exercises then enquire about joining ours.
Our physical classes were always kept small to guarantee everyone gets the teacher's attention. We maintained this rule online throughout lockdown and we will continue to do so. What we do gets results, explore our classes and membership and see if we have a something to suit you. We have been teaching Pilates in Northamptonshire since 1997.

AN AMAZING TEAM OF TEACHERS, WITH A WIDE RANGE OF BACKGROUND AND SKILL SETS - but try and get a decent picture out of them!. We all have a passion for Pilates and helping you move better, with less pain, with more control. Some of us love working with a dodgy back, hips or knees, two of us have special interest in neurological conditions such as MS, Parkinson's etc.
Northants Pilates started in 1997 by Karen Grinter with the aim of bringing the best of Pilates to Northamptonshire. 23 years on Northants Pilates has an unrivalled reputation for excellent teachers and sound results throughout the county and Karen has brought together a wonderful and dedicated team of teachers who are all passionate about Pilates that now include son Daniel.
If you are a complete beginner to Pilates or feel relatively unfit then it's important to learn the fundamentals of good exercise. Also, if you're coming to us with aches or past injuries then we want to make sure you can move with confidence. In our course's you'll learn many basic Pilates exercises to get you ready to join regular classes.
I'm so full of admiration for your 'never say die' spirit and the huge effort you (particularly) and the team have put in to try to keep Pilates going through this dreadful time. So, although I've never been involved in anything like this, I'm prepared to give it a go, and have now got my Zoom account up and running - well, I hope it will be on Monday morning!
From florists to china designers, from joinery to jewellery, authors, therapists and food supplies, local shops around the county, we have some talented people within our lovely Pilates community and we wanted to help out them by promoting their work, particularly during lockdown. Great crafts people and more, please scroll through them whenever you are in need of services and see if one your classmates can help you out.

I have really been enjoying my Pilates, after a re-occurance of an old back injury, the classes have helped me strengthen my core and support my back.
Great friendly instructors that accommodate all abilities, but push you to improve at the same time.
Great app and membership options makes it convenient alongside the online sessions
Really can’t recommend enough!

Book a class ASAP; you won’t regret it, in fact you’ll be asking yourself why you didn’t go sooner! 😁You need Karen, Dan, Ben, Emily etc in your life! 🙏 Each class is tailored to your abilities - achievable, progressive and challenging all at the same time. The experience and knowledge of the trainers are first class - you learn something new each time. You are in great hands…They are red hot on form and will take time to explain, adjust and guide you through the move/position if you just don’t get it. No class is ever the same which is refreshing, engaging and addictive! The giggles

Attending Pilates @ Northants Cricket Club with Karen, Dan and the gang is a visit to a happy place. The classes are informative, encouraging, set to meet the needs of all but also to personally challenge us all. You find you are able to do more than you believed. At the end leave feeling refreshed, as if the whole of your body is stronger and more awake. You are standing taller and have a great sense of pride that you have pushed yourself. But the best bit of all is the atmosphere in the room. The being with people who are welcoming, warm, supportive. We often have moments of laughter which adds

After going to many a gym based Pilates class with loads of people and zero instruction, I was lucky enough to find Karen’s classes. The difference between gym based Pilates and Karen’s classes was huge! I learned so much about my body, joints, movement and how to move with good alignment and technique in order to get the best out of my body, that I became hooked and decided to quit my job and become a teacher myself. My only complaint now is that Karen and I live so far apart I’m not able to come to her brilliant classes anymore. Thanks Karen for the inspiration and for helping so many of

Absolutely caring and dedicated staff, always fun and always wanting to help you get to your best. I had several injuries when joining the HIIT class, yet was able to still take part as they gave me alternative exercises to do. When I started, I felt rather inflexible and embarrassed but they put me at age and made me feel confident - I’ve noticed the results, including mending a running injury and better back posture, and generally feeling happy. Would happily recommend them to anyone - have the confidence to try it out, keep persisting and work with the team if you feel you’re struggling

I have been working with Karen and her fantastic team of instructors for 10+ years due to a degenerating back problem and without doubt having left Northamptonshire and tried many different instructors locally, there isn’t anyone who comes close to not only the quality of teaching, variety of classes and online on demand workouts, but general drive, commitment, enthusiasm and support to ensure that all clients have the best possible experience, have fun and benefit to the optimum physically from doing Pilates. As I live in Oxfordshire now, one of the only positive things to come out of the pandemic

I have been attending Northants Pilates core mat classes for years now, both at Northants Cricket Club and online this year. Many of us are referred to this pilates group from back/other specialists/consultants as the teachers are very well informed and experienced dealing with injuries, ex-surgeries and general aches and pains! The teachers are excellent, they always make the sessions enjoyable and varied in content. I attend to work on my core stability and there is always plenty of that, as well as strengthening and flexibility work. They always check how everyone is feeling and give different

I have scoliosis and I would frequently put my back out. This would mean that for the next week or so I would have very limited movement, take ages to get out of bed in the morning & I would have to use a stick until I got back to some normality. On the recommendation of my osteopath, I started with Northants Pilates last September and the difference with my back since then has been amazing. Everyone says I am more upright, and the confidence it’s given me means that I have been able to physically do things that I would have been incredibly wary of doing before. I will always have ‘episodes’
