About Cirencester Pilates
After several years of teaching in Stroud, Alastair started Cirencester Pilates at the beginning of 2023 in the Bingham Hall Studio. Ongoing high demand for spaces saw our offering increase to seven regular classes in a couple of years. Alastair went on a 4-month sabbatical in the summer of 2025 and that's when Polly joined the team. On Alastair's return we added an additional three classes on a Thursday night that Polly took ownership of. In Feb 2026, Alastair got the keys to the Old Station Works and started work on transforming the space into our very own Pilates studio.
ABOUT ALASTAIR
Alastair is the founder of Cirencester Pilates and is a Chartered Physiotherapist specialising in musculoskeletal health. Alongside running Cirencester Pilates, he works as a physio at Dyer Street Clinic in Cirencester. Previously, he spent 8 years in the NHS across Gloucestershire.
Alastair is passionate about empowering people to take control of their health and wellbeing. He trained with APPI and started teaching Pilates in 2018 in Stroud before moving to Cirencester.
If not in a clinic or Pilates studio, you can usually find Alastair playing or watching sport. He's an avid follower of Gloucester Rugby, is a keen traveller and enjoys spending as much time as possible by the sea!
