Ankor Pilates Reviews 

I like how the classes feel welcoming and everyone is of different ages and abilities. The teachers are great and very helpful. It's also in good locations and at good times also. I would recommend anyone to try Pilates with them

I started with Ankor in March of 2026, and have been at least one a week since.

My wife started 18 months ago and feels wonderful for it, so after getting a free taster session I signed up for 4 session per month.

I'm now starting my 4th month, and I can't see me stopping any time soon. My back pain has gone, my flexibility has improved and I'm now hitting 240+ yard golf drives due to my new flexibility.

I can even do the Roll up (imagine lying flat on your back, arms on the floor stretched above your head, then do a sit up)

The teachers are very helpful and mindful of any injuries you may be carrying and will always offer suggestions for alternative moves

Several locations, days and times gives me the option to fit it in around my other activities, (Mainly golf)

I mention it to many men I know and all dismiss Pilates, quite incorrectly, as a "Woman's thing" but don't be put off. You will come away aching and in a few sessions see a great improvement in your core strength.

I'm new to Telegraph Hill and being south of the river and was looking for an activity for strength and to heal some ongoing issues. Ankor's client service was very supportive and communicative from the get-go. I have enjoyed all the teachers and they all have their own pace and style. I also quite enjoy the flexibility of joining different classes in different locations - keeps it dynamic (although would love more evening options at the Telegraph Hill Center - my local at the top of the hill!) All instructors are attentive to the needs of the individual and they're all very nice and genuine. Great classes for normal people - aches and pains and all. Thanks Ankor! Vanessa

At the age of 62, my body seems to fall apart regularly. I hyper extended my knee recently. After an Ankor class with Irene, it felt so much stronger, and has got better week on week. I feel so much stronger and more flexible after 18 months with Ankor. It also makes me feel much better mentally, that I can take on the challenges of an aging body.

The classes are interactive and stimulating, with a wide variety of exercises. These have enabled me to become more supple, adding to my overall fitness. The venue is also near to my home and accessible.

Ankor classes offer a range of timings, venues, teachers and levels of challenge, so I have been able to tailor my choices as I have progressed from Beginner to Intermediate. The brilliant Tali and Livi have been my regular teachers, but I have also attended sessions with others and all take great care, offer clear instruction, and vary our practice and level of challenge. Even in group classes, teaching feels personalised and fun. I have built strength, stamina and increased my mobility thanks to Ankor.

I have been attending a beginners class for nearly a year now. I enjoy every class which is always calm with a really lovely, friendly atmosphere. The instructors have been brilliant, thoughtful and helpful. I’d highly recommend Ankor classes for anyone wanting to strengthen their core, develop flexibility and improve their balance.

Ankor's classes are small, no more than 13. The teachers are all very knowledgeable and ready to help you focus on any area of your body which might be troubling you. I always feel better after a class than I do before I start. Apart from the classes there are online and live workshops, which members get for free. There are four centres across South East London, which you can use according to your convenience.

After 8 months with Ankor Pilates in Dulwich and Telegraph Hill, I feel more flexible, and I experience fewer aches and pains.

It’s a brilliant way to start the day, and I try to squeeze in two sessions a week.

A massive shout out to the whole team and especially to Ailsa, Irene and Tali!

I’ve been going for almost a year and have found the classes really good and teachers helpful . It’s good for mixed ability and learners, as they show you how to move into the positions slowly and safely rather than just push through!

Great range of teachers, classes and locations, aimed at beginners, friendly staff, easy booking system and lots of offers and incentives

My partner and I have been attending the Saturday morning classes at Christ Church regularly and, as complete Pilates novices, have found the whole experience absolutely fantastic! Ailsa's classes are always varied, but she explains each step very clearly and has a very friendly and encouraging manner.
We leave each class feeling a great sense of well being and my partner's Sciatica has disappeared completely!

We've also found the help with the admin side of things from Dawn and Zoe to have been really friendly and helpful

We recently also attended the Tuesday morning class at Telegraph Hill which was a similarly positive experience in a lovely setting!

We thoroughly recommend Ankor Pilates!

I love the Ankor Pilates classes - they’re the highlight of my week! My body always feels amazing afterwards and the classes are varied so I never get bored. I started to feel significantly stronger after a few weeks. Would definitely recommend

My regular teacher Irene is very helpful and explains exercises very well for both beginners and people with pilates experience. There's always a good warm up and build up into exercises and I can feel confident in knowing I'm doing it right or how to adjust. It's a little expensive and I had one lesson with another instructor which was less good but overall it's been great.

The classes at Ankor are really high quality proper Pilates that I find really helpful when marathon training. The instructors are very friendly and professional, and Zoe and Dawn are always kind and flexible!

I have really enjoyed my classes at Ankor Pilates and am gutted that, due to changed circumstances, I am no longer able to be a member. I mainly took intermediate lessons at Telegraph Hill on a Friday morning and found them excellent- stretching (in all senses!), supportive and mentally and physically absorbing.

Ankor Pilates is a fantastic asset for the community. The teachers are terrific; the team is super well run and responsive. Attention to each individual and their specific needs (esp with back care issues) is better than I’ve experienced with other Pilates classes. Well worth every penny!!!

I’ve loved the Beginner’s classes. They have been just the right pace and intensity, and Sophie (the teacher) has always made sure to share any adaptations that can be made for those of us dealing with pain or injury. Communication with Dawn is always fantastic, and I’m glad there’s such a warm and inclusive class to go to in my local area. Love these guys!

I’m a Goldsmiths student, and I was so sad that there’s no gym around New Cross anymore! However, since I discovered Ankor Pilates, my life has been rescued. I suffer from chronic neck and back pain, but it always feels better whenever I keep up with my workouts. Thanks to Dawn, I received excellent instruction on the lesson system, and I absolutely love the classes and their effects, thanks to Lauren and Sophie. Highly recommend it, and I hope my health continues to improve!

Ankor Pilates has really improved my back pain over the last 3-4 months. The teachers are welcoming and kind. Lauren makes welcomed adjustments and her classes are always calm and well guided. Thank you!
