Emma was a brilliant tutor. Really clear, knowledgeable and supportive.

Annabelle Ottaway

I couldn't recommend more. Very patient and informative. Full of knowledge and support. Made the weekend so worthwhile. I feel so much more prepared now.

Rachel Seers

Emma was absolutely lovely. I had her as my assessor and truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. She made the whole group feel incredibly comfortable from the start and delivered feedback in such a constructive and encouraging way. Every point she made was thoughtful, clear, and genuinely helpful.

Emma is a brilliant tutor, very patient and clear and makes you feel very comfortable. I have really enjoyed learning through her.

Really friendly, inclusive, comprehensive training. We were encouraged to get teaching within the hour of day 1 - amazing. Really detailed coaching with tons of real world tips.

Really enjoyed the workshop weekend. Easy to follow teaching - we were up teaching in pairs and to the group which was very beneficial. Came away with so much more confidence thanks to Emma.

Why Train With Us

Not just a qualification - a foundation for a real career

There are plenty of Pilates courses out there. Here is what makes HSP different.

No more than 8 per cohort

Small groups mean you are seen, supported, and never lost in a crowd. Emma knows every student by name from day one.

Weekend workshops only

All in-person sessions run on Saturdays and Sundays. Designed to fit around work, family, and everything else in your life.

A proper, nationally recognised qualification

The Active IQ Level 3 Diploma is Ofqual regulated and the industry-standard entry qualification for Pilates instructors in the UK.

Taught by a studio owner

Emma still teaches classes every week at The Pilates Corner. You are learning from someone who lives and breathes this - not a trainer who stopped teaching years ago.

Business support built in

The course does not end when you qualify. Graduate Circle coaching, marketing support, and real-world guidance are there when you need them.

Accessible from across the region

Based in Baldock, Hertfordshire with direct trains from London King's Cross. Easy to reach from Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and North London.

Emma Lovelock

Founder, HSP - Level 4 Qualified Instructor and Assessor

Emma has been teaching Pilates for over 13 years. She runs The Pilates Corner studio in Baldock and still teaches classes every week. When you train with HSP, you are learning from someone who is actively in the industry - not someone who stopped teaching to run courses.

Every workshop is taught personally by Emma. Every piece of feedback comes from her. The course is small by design - no more than 8 students per cohort - because that is the only way to give every student the attention they deserve.

Inside The Studio

What a workshop weekend looks like

All workshops take place at The Pilates Corner studio in Baldock - a real working Pilates studio, not a hired hall. Small groups, hands-on learning, and genuine feedback throughout.
