Expert Pilates Tuition

Two women in white hoodies are having a conversation in a physical therapy or Pilates studio, surrounded by equipment like a reformer, a wall with wooden slats, and large glass windows.

Since we opened in 2001, EQ has been all about helping people dive into the amazing benefits of Pilates. With twenty years behind us, we’re excited for you to be a part of this journey. We're proud to be the most experienced Pilates team in Sutton Coldfield and can’t wait to welcome you to our studio!

At EQ Pilates, we believe in the remarkable power of community. We strive to create an inviting and inclusive space where everyone, regardless of their experience level or age, can fully experience the transformative physical and mental benefits of Pilates.

EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNTS AND EXTRAS FOR ALL ACCESS CLUB MEMBERS

We’re now a no-shoes studio.

As you may have seen, our beautiful new client lounge is now officially open — and with that comes one small but important change to help keep the studio clean and comfortable for everyone:

That means all outdoor footwear should be removed and left in the client lounge before you step into any of the studio spaces.

Why the Change?

Shoes carry in a lot more than just mud — dust, grit, bacteria, and sometimes even tiny bits of glass or gravel. And when we’re moving on mats or equipment, a clean floor matters more than ever

This small change helps us maintain a more hygienic, calm, and focused environment for every client, every session.

What Can I Wear Instead of Shoes?

After you take your outdoor shoes off, you're welcome to:
✔ Wear socks
✔ Wear grippy socks
✔ Or go barefoot

Whatever helps you feel secure and connected during your session.

More Than a Studio

A Community Since 2001

When we opened the doors to EQ we knew it would become more than just a Pilates studio—it would became a home. Today it’s a place where movement meets community, and where every client is more than just a booking on a schedule.

Some of our wonderful clients have been with us since the very beginning. We’ve watched their families grow, celebrated milestones, and supported each other through life’s ups and downs. We know your name, your dog’s name, your grandkids’ latest achievements, and if your partner is unwell, we’re here to check in.

Celebrating a big birthday? Expect flowers. Recovering from surgery or an injury? We’ll make sure you feel supported. Because at our studio, Pilates is about more than exercise—it’s about showing up for each other, moving together, and being part of something truly special.

But this isn’t just a place for long-time clients; it’s for anyone looking for movement, strength, and real connection. Whether you’re here to challenge yourself, de-stress after work, or simply find your people, you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

Come for the Pilates, stay for the community.

CADILLAC

The Cadillac will take you on wonderful journey of self discovery….

Cadillac sessions take only six people, making these classes feel very personalised, allowing time for discussion and demonstration where necessary. In these classes the body is supported and guided through movements to re-balance muscle strength and create flexibility in every joint.

With the ability to isolate almost every muscle group, the Cadillac is an excellent tool for breaking down movements in order to identify and correct inefficient motion patterns. These classes are wonderful in terms of self discovery and confidence; you will be amazed at what your body can do.

REFORMER

For up to six clients, our group Reformer classes aim to dramatically change the way your body looks, feels and performs. Using a combination of springs, ropes and a moving carriage, the reformer machine provides resistance and assistance to Pilates exercises.

These classes build strength in all the right places; targeting the smaller muscles, which may be underdeveloped and retraining the body to use more efficient muscle recruitment patterns. The overall result is a universally developed body.

MAT

Our Mat classes keep things friendly and inviting with groups of up to 8 clients. Here, you'll experience a blend of physical and mental training that enhances your body awareness, builds core strength, and improves your posture.

We offer a range of classes from Fundamentals to Advanced, ensuring you progress safely and at a pace that works for you.

In Mat classes, we focus on the classical method developed by Joseph Pilates. We adapt those classical exercises so anyone can join in, not just dancers or gymnasts. Our goal is to help you establish a solid foundation, so you can move on to more advanced and challenging movements while reaping the full benefits of Pilates.
