It is worth noting that the studio may occasionally deviate from this schedule due to staffing availability.
Consultations and private lessons are available throughout the week, while classes have specific time slots on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Bristol Pilates Studio was founded in 2016 by Elle Morrison, who wanted to bring the joy of Pilates to south Bristol.
