Our ethos

“Anthro-Contrology develops each client on an individual basis to build success on the foundations of inner focus, control and strength in order take the practice of Pilates into everyday life.” – Amanda Caldwell, founder

We offer a premium, intimate space to step out of a whirlwind world and into an uplifting positive practice. Allowing time to recalibrate and realign, you’ll find empowerment from the mindful practice of dynamic reformer Pilates at Anthro-Contrology.

Pilates is a core-focussed form of exercise that improves flexibility, strength, balance and overall body awareness, combining controlled movements with breathing techniques. Reformer Pilates is a specialist type of Pilates, using equipment called a ‘reformer’ which consists of a sliding carriage, springs, ropes and pulleys.

As with traditional Pilates, Anthro-Contrology classes aim to enhance posture, muscle tone, joint mobility and mindful movement, though the reformer enables a dynamically challenged workout combining unique resistance-based methods for full body conditioning – whatever your individual needs, experience and ability.

Meet your founder

Amanda Caldwell first discovered reformer Pilates in 2016 and founded Anthro-Contrology in 2020 after 30 years of working in the fast and frantic entertainment and film industry.

Following a bruising series of life-changing events, Amanda created a new chapter in her life, this time with passion and purpose at the forefront. 

Having fallen in love with the balance and clarity reformer Pilates provided – allowing her to realign both her body and mind, Amanda wanted to create a haven for others to experience the same.

Amanda’s teaching – and that of her carefully chosen co-workers at Anthro-Contrology – reflects a sense of courage, kindness, discipline and determination. Making personal connections with clients is paramount to Amanda and her team, allowing for the creation of bespoke plans which demonstrate the power of Pilates both in the studio and beyond it.
