James Shaw Pilates Margate

Hi, I’m James.

Let us empower your Pilates journey with passion and purpose.

We have a unique approach at our studio here in Margate. Learning is two ways. You learn and I learn. We focus on growth and fulfillment for our students through togetherness and community.

James Shaw Pilates is an inclusive studio that gives back to our community, making pilates accessible to the whole Margate community.

  • "I've been taking Reformer Pilates classes with James for several months and highly recommend them! James is an outstanding instructor, combining deep expertise with a genuine passion for teaching. Each class is tailored to my individual needs, ensuring I’m challenged and supported."

    Gareth Easter, Classical Reformer Pilates

  • "James has a fantastic ability to challenge you without pushing you beyond your limits. He works you hard, but in a way that feels manageable and even enjoyable. I left the class feeling energised and accomplished, rather than exhausted."

    Ronnie Traynor, 1:1 Solo Training

  • "What truly sets James apart is his ability to explain the "how" and "why" behind each movement and concept. He taught me to observe and understand the body in front of me, enabling me to break down sessions in a way that is both effective and insightful."

    Lucie Nelson, Teacher Training
