REAL PILATES FOR EVERY BODY
THE PILATES HUB, RIBBLE VALLEY
Hello.
Welcome to The Pilates Hub, a safe space to improve your fitness, strength, and flexibility in the heart of the Ribble Valley in Clitheroe, Lancashire.
Founded by Joanne Cornish, who can trace her teaching back to Joseph Pilates himself, we follow the classical style of teaching Pilates with a contemporary edge, giving you an authentic Pilates experience and including all the Pilates apparatus - Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, and Ladder Barrel.
Experience Pilates as it was intended
As Clitheroe's only fully equipped Pilates studio, we offer private and semi-private small group Pilates classes for a personalised experience shaped around your abilities, challenges, and goals, to leave you feeling physically and mentally stronger.
"I highly recommend Joanne’s welcoming, thoughtful and fully inclusive Pilates sessions. Don’t hesitate if you’re thinking of trying pilates."
More than a fitness class
Pilates is so much more than a fitness class: it’s the process of being present in your body, letting go of pain and discomfort, and healing from whatever is holding you back - because once you heal the physical, you experience an emotional release and a new lightness in mind and body.
Why practice Pilates?
Pilates is a complete body exercise which lengthens, tones and strengthens muscles to improve core strength, flexibility and muscle balance.
Stronger core
Improve core strength to help with lower back pain and reduce the risk of injury
Healthier posture
Align your spine to help your posture and body awareness
Better flexibility
Achieve a full range of movement without putting your joints under pressure
Boosted mental health
A mindful form of breathing and movement that increases mental focus and reduces stress
Rehabilitation support
Personalised movement is the ideal way to recover from injury and rebuild strength.
Which class is right for you?
Pilates Clinic or Reformer classes - there’s a Pilates class for every body.

"Pilates changed my life. I entered Joanne’s Pilates studio many years ago now - with an open but sceptical mind. After being in pain for many years with Osteoarthritis I was open to my mind being changed.
Joanne was very honest and open with me from the start and I soon fell in love with learning the exercises, listening to Joanne’s information and how I felt after taking part. I now cannot ever imagine my life without Pilates."
" Joanne is a brilliant Pilates teacher. Her classes have made me stronger which has had a profound impact on my life. The studio is great and well equipped, Joanne is very encouraging, totally amazing!"

"The best thing we could have done to increase our fitness levels and ease our pains. Joanne is extremely knowledgeable and has a natural empathy, which allows her to assess each client’s needs and devise individual exercises. The classes are relaxed and good fun - a welcome break in a busy week."

Your Ribble Valley Pilates expert
Hello. I'm Joanne, founder of The Pilates Hub. I discovered Pilates in 2006 after having spinal surgery - it not only aided my physical recovery, but also helped me cope with the stresses of my corporate career.
Five years later, I quit my job to become a Pilates teacher. Pilates changed my life and I’m on a mission to make sure it changes yours, too.
