Hi, I’m Amy
about the founder
Everybody Pilates was co-founded by Amy Kellow, a Second-Generation Classical Pilates Master Trainer. Amy built her expertise through years of dedicated personal practice and by training with some of the most respected teachers in the Classical Pilates world.
A defining part of Amy’s lineage was her mentorship with Pilates Elder Jay Grimes, who passed away in 2024. Amy studied with Jay from 2011 onwards and completed his renowned two-year programmes Teaching the Work and The Work at Vintage Pilates. His guidance shaped her commitment to teaching Pilates as close to the original method as possible, and his influence remains rooted in the Everybody Pilates approach today.
Amy also continued her advanced studies with world-renowned Classical Pilates teacher MeJo Wiggin. Since 2013, Amy has trained closely with MeJo and completed The Classical Syllabus®, deepening her understanding of the system and refining her teaching style. MeJo’s mentorship has been—and continues to be—a strong foundation in Amy’s work.
With this rich Classical Pilates lineage and the support of expert teachers, Amy has been able to develop and lead the Everybody Pilates education programmes. Her goal is to bring together new and seasoned instructors in a welcoming, professional environment where Classical Pilates is taught with integrity, clarity, and genuine care.
Whether you’re looking to study Classical Pilates, begin your Pilates teacher training, or deepen your personal practice, Amy’s background ensures that Everybody Pilates offers an authentic, inspiring, and supportive learning experience rooted in true Pilates tradition.
Classical Pilates for
Everybody
Everybody Pilates is a collective of Classical Pilates studios across the UK and Eruope, committed to making authentic Pilates accessible to every body—regardless of age, experience, or ability. Rooted in Joseph Pilates’ original method and passed down through a strong teaching lineage, we offer expert-led classes in a warm, welcoming environment where you can truly progress.
What makes us different is our dedication to true Classical Pilates taught on classical equipment. All our studios are fully equipped with Gratz Pilates apparatus—including the Reformer, Tower, Cadillac, Chairs, Barrels, and Mat—so you can experience the method exactly as it was designed. Having access to the full system means we can tailor sessions to your body’s needs, helping you move more efficiently, build strength, and achieve long-lasting results.
Every instructor at Everybody Pilates completes a comprehensive two-year training programme, ensuring exceptional teaching that is consistent across all locations. Our teachers understand the method deeply, offer personalised guidance, and support clients of all levels—from complete beginners to advanced practitioners.
When you train with us, you’re working with passionate Classical Pilates experts who focus on helping you feel stronger, move better, and gain confidence in your body through the full Classical Pilates system.
If you’re looking for expert classical Pilates instruction, full-apparatus training, and a studio community that supports your wellbeing, Everybody Pilates is here to help you get the most out of every movement.
How we work
Our Classical Pilates Studios
We have locations in Southsea, Locks Heath and Windsor in the UK and a studio in Maastricht, NL, with classes all available to book online.
We believe in keeping our class sizes on the smaller side. Our instructors have time to work individually with everyone in attendance, to help with personal technique and support.
Classes are taught either as mat classes, equipment classes or private and duets, depending on individual preference. But all sessions will leave you feeling stronger, taller and worked out!
