The Simply Pilates Method in Battersea: Why the High Street?
Located in the historic and vibrant Battersea High Street, our studio sits at the heart of a true London community. We chose this location because it reflects our philosophy: grounded, accessible, and high-quality. While the nearby Battersea Power Station offers a modern rush, Simply Pilates London provides a focused, boutique atmosphere where instructors actually know your name and your fitness history.
Our studio is equipped with state-of-the-art Reformer Pilates machines and a dedicated floor space for mat work and private coaching.
In a city like London, your nervous system is often in "fight or flight" mode. At Simply Pilates London, we use the breath as a tool to shift you into a "rest and digest" state while still challenging your physical limits. This dual approach is why our clients report better sleep, reduced anxiety, and improved focus at work. By focusing on controlled, mindful repetitions, we ensure that every minute you spend in the studio at SW11 3JS yields maximum results for your longevity.
Our Specialized Classical Pilates Services
⮕ The Authentic Classical Method in Battersea
In our studio, we practice the original Classical Pilates method. Unlike "Dynamic" versions, Classical Pilates is a comprehensive system that integrates the Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, and Mat. This approach focuses on the "Powerhouse" to build a body that is uniformly developed, long, and lean.

Meet The Founder
Jayne O'Brien
Founder of SIimply Pilates London
I was born in the UK but grew up in South Africa where I developed an interest in sports and was involved in competitive swimming at school. I have a BSc Sports Science degree and have completed two comprehensive Pilates certifications; the first from Polestar Pilates in 2004 and the second a classical certification in 2013 from The Pilates Standard at PI Studios (originally Power Pilates with Bob Liekens). This started my journey of love and fascination for the classical Pilates method. I have been lucky enough to study with many world class teachers like Bob Liekens, Mejo Wiggins and Sandy Shimoda.
In 2017 I was honoured to be invited to join the highly selective master’s program The Work™ led by first generation teacher Jay Grimes who was a student of Joseph Pilates himself.
In 2023, I was accepted on The Graduate Intensive Cycle 2023 with Lori Coleman-Brown which is a deeper dive into the teaching of Pilates. Lori Coleman-Brown was a student of Romana Kryzanowska who was a protégé of Joseph Pilates. This makes me a 'second generation' Pilates teacher and throughout my career I have purposely trained with teachers as close to the source of Joseph Pilates to set myself apart as an expert teacher in the Pilates method.
Personally, I am hugely passionate about teaching the authentic style of classical Pilates as I know this will give my clients the best results.
