Welcome to Hallam Pilates
Physiotherapist led Matwork in the Studio
Hallam Pilates is owned and run by Liz Jowsey, a qualified and highly experienced physiotherpist. With 11 classes in Matwork, covering a range of clients from beginner to advanced, Hallam Pilates is one of the leading centers for Pilates in Sheffield.
Focusing on the whole body, Liz specialises in posture and efficient movement to build and maintain strength and mobility using the Jems Technique in all her classes and one to one appointments.
Hallam Pilates is also available remotely on Zoom!
“Pilates on Zoom is like a private lesson in your home, it works really well and the instructions are so clear as always , excellent Liz”
“Pilates via Zoom is great fun. More importantly though, the exercises help me to keep supple, agile and happy. My joints can get very stiff and painful ….Pilates improve my range of movements and balance. I would even go as far to say that it makes me feel youthful!!” Maria
“I have been attending Liz’s Pilates classes since they started at the Hallamshire. They are fantastic- very helpful with posture, inner strength and wellbeing. But what has really come through in the last very difficult few weeks is the sense of community and friendship that is present in our group – this would not have happened without Liz’s hard work”
“A brilliant Pilates lesson, expertly matched to your own ability, in the comfort of your own home. Thanks, Liz.”

I first went to Hallam Pilates to learn Pilates on a one to one basis having had 4 major abdominal operations for cancer within 5 years. I needed to regain strength and posture after so much trauma. Learning the techniques one to one helped me to pick things up very quickly so that when I joined a class I could understand what I was aiming at.
