Meet Charlotte
I’m Charlotte, founder of Red Hot Pilates Margate and a movement specialist with over 20 years of experience in the health and fitness industry.
I originally opened Red Hot Pilates as a dedicated Mat Pilates studio, helping clients build core strength, flexibility, and alignment. Over the years, the studio has evolved — now offering one-to-one personal training, sessions on specialist Pilates equipment, group Mat Pilates classes, and high-energy Boogie Bounce workouts.
This evolution reflects my belief that Pilates provides a strong foundation for strength, mobility, and functional movement, but everyone benefits from a personalised approach that also incorporates strength training, cardio, and rehabilitation work.
Whether you’re returning to fitness, building strength, improving posture, or simply want to move with confidence, I guide you every step of the way.
1-to-1 Pilates & Personal Training
Bespoke sessions combining Pilates, strength training, mobility work, and functional movement — tailored entirely to your body and goals.
Mat Pilates Classes
Small group classes focusing on core strength, flexibility, posture, and body awareness.
Suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners, classes often incorporate small Pilates props such as the Pilates ball, Pilates circle (Magic Circle), and resistance bands to add support, variety, and extra challenge to the exercises.
Specialist Pilates Equipment
Sessions using the Cadillac, Barrel, and Wonder Chair for targeted strength, mobility, and rehabilitation work.
Boogie Bounce Classes
Fun, high-energy trampoline workouts that deliver cardio without impact on the joints — suitable for all fitness levels.

Benefits of Pilates
1. Full-Body Conditioning
-
Pilates promotes balanced muscle development rather than overworking a single area.
-
While it focuses heavily on core strength, it trains the body as an integrated, cohesive system.
2. Strength Without Bulk
-
Uses eccentric contractions (lengthening the muscle under tension) to build strength.
-
Develops long, lean, functional muscles, ideal for everyday movement rather than aesthetic bulk.
3. Flexibility & Range of Motion
-
Improves joint mobility and muscle flexibility.
-
Encourages safe, progressive stretching to increase overall range of motion.
4. Core Support
-
Strengthens key stabilizing muscles of the back, abdomen, and pelvic floor.
-
Enhances posture, spinal alignment, and efficient movement mechanics.
-
Helps promote flat, engaged abdominals through consistent core activation.
5. Mind-Body Connection
-
Improves mental focus, body awareness, and mindfulness during movement.
-
Movements are intentional and precise for better neuromuscular control.
Charley is an amazing confident boosting teacher. With her guidance and belief I have gained strength and flexibility in ways I never thought possible. My body has changed for the better. The transformation has increased my self worth and confidence. Definitely recommend if you want to improve strength, flexibly and self love in a safe environment with an amazing Pilates instructor
I bloody love this photo. Do you know what… 2 ish years ago I broke down in tears in the back surgeons office as I genuinely thought I was going to end up in a wheelchair. And look at me now! Thanks for all your help- body and mind xx. Helen
Testimonial
Charley is an amazing teacher, who was really welcoming and fun from my very first session. She pushes you out of your comfort zone without being scary like some other PTs can be, and she always plays banging tunes. I have been coming to her 1-2-
1 consistently for a year now and I have seen a great improvement in my fitness levels and strength. I even have the beginnings of abs which was one of my goals.

Went into the London office today and saw someone who hasn’t seen me since November. Was saying how fit and happy I looked. I said thanks I owed it all to my Pilates teacher. Strong on the inside
Jenni
Aimie Jjago Impressed with my progress considering how inconsistent I’ve been! The only workout I consider to be fun… it’s like being a kid on the monkey bars again! Highly recommend giving reformer pilates a go and especially with @red.hot.pilates.margate_--

Testimonial
I can't stress enough how amazing my body feels week after week, being a massage therapist, it's helped my posture during treatments, the best feeling is when Charlotte helps and my stretch becomes deeper and I manage to stay in that position on its own, crazy what my body can do with some support

Testimonial
I just wanted to feedback that I totally loved and enjoyed your class. You create a really welcoming and relaxed vibe, which really helped. I moved down here, just before the first lockdown and I haven’t really had a chance to find my feet, and the only other class I had tried previously between lockdowns, I really didn’t feel at ease at all! So thank you for making me feel at home 🙏🏻
I will be back but over the next couple of weeks, I have a few different classes booked in for various things, so I can try a few things out and then get a regular routine of doing the things I love!
So I definitely will be back and will probably try a couple of your other classes, as soon as I get some time

Grace gave Stacey a private session with me for Stacey's birthday. This picture melts my heart, it was so much fun, so that is always another option if you want to have fun, work out safely, and cheer each other on. They loved it so much that they booked back in! <3
