Instructors
All of our classes are led by a physiotherapist who is also a qualified Pilates instructor, thus ensuring you receive the best possible standard of tuition.
We offer private physio-led 1:1/2 tuition as well as Live classes, all carried out from our large purpose-built, light and air-conditioned studio in Ponteland outside Newcastle.
Live classes are capped at 10 people, this offers comfortable spacing and ensures you get the attention you deserve. Regular deep cleaning of the studio is carried out.
To book your FREE taster class please phone the clinic on 0191 8149717 or fill out this enquiry form. If you would like to continue, payment is made via a simple monthly direct debit.
We firmly believe that to get the benefits from Pilates you must be regularly participating for at least 3 months, which is why all clients sign up for a minimum of 12 weeks to begin with.
We have a couple of monthly memberships available (see ‘below’) which cater for either 1 or 2 live classes a week.
We also have an ‘On Demand’ section which gives you access to pre-recorded shorter and longer form classes that you can do from home.
All Live classes last 55 mins. Private 1:1/2 tuition can be booked for 40 or 60 minutes.
We appreciate that everyone has busy lives and may sometimes not be able to make their allocated class. This is why we give you unlimited catch-up classes that are valid for 12 months and have a dedicated, easy-to-use Pilates app to help you manage this.
If you have been suffering from ongoing neck or back issues then it is advisable to book in for a physiotherapy assessment prior to joining a class to make sure it is appropriate for you.

What Our Clients Say
Paul Scrafton2023-09-21Physio linked to additional stretches/exercises and Pilates at JL Physiofit have improved my core strength and flexibility.
Rebecca Lowes2023-09-18Michael helped me with leg pain leading up to my first half marathon. I ended up running the whole distance with no pain and was able to enjoy the experience by taking his advice and getting treatment the week before the big run. Would recommend to anyone.
Neil Taylor2023-09-15Hi , i have had individual physiotherapy by Bev for my back and feet (plantar fascia )and have subsequently been able to join a beginners Pilate class run by Bev . The class is demanding , enjoyable and appropriate to my physical capability.
Alison Bailey2023-09-15I thoroughly enjoyed my Pilates class this morning. I found my teacher to be very thorough, aware of each pupils ability and very encouraging. Highly recommended. Thank you .
Sharon Oldroyd2023-09-15Started treatment in September 2022 after hospital appointments with consultant and scans on my left knee. I booked to see Michael as I was having major pain/grinding noise and unable to do exercise or even walk up/down the stairs properly. He assessed my mobility and strength and developed a tailored, gradual rehab program that has helped me to build strength and confidence in my knee as well as helping me slowly get back into exercising. It's made a vast difference working with Michael as I'm not an easy person to work with and always push myself too far. All my exercises were shared via email and accessible via an app. Now I'm exercising 5 times a week, spinning, strength, cardio, HIIT, rowing and running (I can finally use my home gym). Thank you for your patience and understanding my needs. Would highly recommend Michael and JL PhysioFit.
Diana Robertson2023-08-26I am really enjoying beginners Pilates and feel like I have made good progress. The trainers are very good and it is a positive low-key atmosphere and everyone is friendly and welcoming.
Julie Tough2023-08-24Enjoying this physio type class, definitely feeling the benefit.
Moira Luccock2023-08-23Good class today with Michael. Well taught by Michael with options to suit our abilities. Stretching so feel I have progressed. Light hearted banter too - what more could you want! Moira
Lesley Hughes2023-08-22Good team that listen to what clients have to say before doing each Pilates class, so if you have a niggle they work with it. Exercises are testing but doable, even if at the time you are not sure about it, and if you can't then they come up with a variation for you to do. Friendly classes and staff.
Nick Winslow2023-08-17I attend pilates regularly and cannot overstate how much I value the advice ,motivation,and fun this provides.There is a real rewarding sense of progression.JL himself is my usual instructor ,but the entire team have an infectious enthusiasm that fosters self improvement.
