the space

After 13 years of classes in Uckfield at The Old Mill House, in April 2022, Turning Tide Pilates moved and expanded into two floors of beautiful new studios, in River Way, Uckfield (Just behind the High Street).
We are easily accessed on foot from the many free car parks in town, and three minutes walk from Uckfield Station, with direct trains to London, and served by several bus routes.

Turning Tide Pilates is a calm and relaxing contemporary Pilates space, providing a sanctuary for Pilates, wellness and movement. We have an Equipment Studio, Zoom Studio and Office Space on the ground floor, and a beautiful, quiet, light and airy, Group Matwork Studio on the first floor. We provide classes to suit everyone, whether you want to move with us at the studio, or join from further afield.

Our ground floor equipment studio is easily accessed for those with injuries or health conditions, and is fully equipped with the most up-to-date Pilates equipment from Balanced Body. Work on the Trapeze Table, Allegro 2 Reformer and Tower of Power, Wunda Chair, Ladder Barrel, Spine Correctors, Baby Arc, OOV, Orbit and many other small props.

Our spacious, light and airy matwork studio is equipped with physio-grade, thick and comfortable Airex mats, and many other small props and apparatus, to provide comfort, support and neurological feedback during your class. We also have climate control via HEPA filter air-conditioning, and dual aspect windows. The studio is flooded with natural light throughout the day, views of the treetops, and you’ll be moving to the soundtrack of birdsong.

Beautiful air-purifying plants fill the whole space, which is lightly scented with fresh aromatherapy oil diffusers, and our bathrooms are stocked with natural, sustainably sourced Bower Collective toiletries.
