About Us
We have had some upgrades! After 27 years we have a new name and a new owner. The team is the same. The passion is the same. But now with renewed focus and energy to take the studio forward.
Started by Karen Smith in 1998, MH Pilates is one of the oldest traditional pilates studios in London. Our studio, nestled in the leafy suburb of Muswell Hill, has incredible panoramic views of north London, and is only a short distance from the bustling and fashionable high street.
Tarun and Suneeta Chadha, who have owned and run the successful studio Pilates by the Green for over 20 years, bring their enthusiasm and vast experience.
“We have lived in Muswell Hill for over 20 years and are really pleased to be taking on the stewardship of this great studio. Our aim is to be as welcoming and friendly as possible.
It’s important to us that, initially, you don’t feel intimidated by all the equipment and principles of Pilates. Then, as you continue with Pilates, to feel part of the studio, to feel valued, and importantly to see that you are progressing.”
Our Instructors
I have been teaching Pilates since 1999 and qualified at the renowned Body Control Pilates Association when it was still in its infancy. This is my second studio, and was opened in 2006. Previously I had a studio in a large physiotherapy clinic, where I gained most of my experience in rehabilitation and remedial work. I trained in Classical Ballet in my early 20’s, and have always been interested in fitness and movement. After University, I moved to London and worked as an aerobics teacher and personal trainer. I wanted to find a form of exercise that would benefit all bodies and involve more focussed body movement, and so, I found Pilates. I live in Muswell Hill with my husband, 3 daughters and dog, Haggis
Group classes are kept small so the teacher can easily watch (and correct if necessary). The atmosphere is friendly but professional. My life has changed so much for the better since I started classes with Tarun and Suneeta's team. My body has realised the benefits that regular Pilates offers to improve flexibility and prevent aches and pains. If you haven't tried Pilates this studio is an excellent place to start.
I have been attending group sessions for a while. The atmosphere is calm and keeping groups of similarly able people together makes it more helpful. I have been impressed by the way Tarun gently guides each participant individually as they do the same exercise.
I would highly recommend this Pilates centre.
Excellent Pilates teaching. My recovery from hip surgery was very rapid due to the Pilates exercises specially chosen for me. The staff are very responsive and record your needs and your progress. The clients are very friendly, too.
As a beginner, I have been thrilled with how friendly, welcoming and well-organised this studio is. Each session is tailored to address my reasons for starting and the teachers ensure I know what each exercise does. I can feel the difference already!
