the space
In 2022, after 13 years of classes at The Old Mill House in Uckfield, Turning Tide Pilates relocated and expanded into two floors of beautiful studios in River Way, just behind the High Street. Accessible on foot from numerous free car parks and a short three-minute walk from Uckfield Station, with direct trains to London and several bus routes, our studio is perfectly situated.
Turning Tide Pilates offers a serene and relaxing contemporary Pilates space, a sanctuary for Pilates, wellness and movement. Ground floor facilities include an Equipment Studio, Zoom Studio and Office Space, while the first floor boasts a beautiful, quiet, light and airy Group Matwork Studio. We cater to all fitness levels, whether you prefer in-studio classes or join from further afield.
Our ground floor Equipment Studio is easily accessible for those with injuries or health conditions. Fully equipped with Pilates equipment from Balanced Body and Merrithew, it allows you to work as Joseph Pilates intended; on the Trapeze Table, Allegro 2 Reformer, Tower of Power, Wunda Chair, Ped-O-Pull, Ladder Barrel, Spine Correctors, Baby Arc, OOV, Orbit and many other small props - not just a Reformer.
The spacious, light and airy Matwork studio is equipped with physio-grade, thick and comfortable Airex mats and various small props and apparatus. These provide comfort, support and neurological feedback during your class. Climate control via HEPA filter air-conditioning and dual aspect windows ensure a comfortable environment, flooded with natural light throughout the day.
Beautiful air-purifying plants fill the entire space, which is lightly scented with fresh aromatherapy oil diffusers. Enjoy views of the treetops and the soothing soundtrack of birdsong as you move. Our washrooms are stocked with natural, sustainably sourced Bower Collective toiletries, adding to the overall experience.
