Brighton & Hove's
first and finest Pilates studio
With nearly three decades in the industry, Paul Anthony McLinden has helped to shape mainstream Pilates into one of the world’s fastest growing exercise methods. During Paul’s classical ballet career in the 1980’s, he trained as an apprentice to Pilates legend Alan Herdman, the man credited with first bringing Pilates to the UK. By the end of the 1990’s, Paul had travelled the globe studying and certifying hundreds of Pilates teachers as the Head of Teacher Training for the Body Control Pilates Association, an undisputed world leader in Pilates education.
Today, Paul remains one of the most respected and recognisable names in the Pilates industry. Since co-founding Brighton and Hove’s first Pilates studio in 1997, 16 local matwork teachers and studio owners in and around Brighton and Hove first qualified to teach Pilates as studio apprentices to Paul. He remains a Senior Course Lecturer for the Body Control Pilates Association and is certified as a Level 3 Pilates Instructor by the Register for Exercise Professionals.
Paul and his hand-picked staff of trainers work with a vast cross-section of clients at ocean wave pilates, ranging from brick layers to professional dancers, sports personalities and a handful of high-profile Hollywood celebrities.
Paul’s book and DVD series entitled Pilates for Dancers is to be published in 2010.

''I can't believe how quickly I've sorted out my neck and shoulder problems. In just five weeks, I can move my neck more than I've been able to in years - and that's after having long courses with chiropractors, physios, and massage therapists. I am most grateful to have lost the ‘tenseness’ that I've been carrying… I noticed a difference after my very first Pilates session at ocean wave pilates.”
Ms. A. Lewis, Brighton
“Good teachers can be made, but the truly great ones are born. Paul Anthony McLinden’s teaching is technically correct, yet innovative and creative. I urge you to attend… in fact, I envy you!”
Lynne Robinson, the world’s top selling Pilates author and co-founder of the Body Control Pilates Association
“Pilates doesn’t just work, it produces really quite amazing results. I have achieved a monumental 8 % increase in bone density and my doctors agree, it has to be from practicing Pilates! A big ‘thank you’ to my fantastic instructors at ocean wave pilates for the hard work we’ve all done together, both on the mat and on the equipment… it has been life enhancing in so many different ways.” -
Ms. S. Box, Hove
“Paul Anthony McLinden has travelled across the globe perfecting the Classical Pilates work. He is one of the UK’s first and only Pilates teachers to open his heart, his mind, and his studio to fresh ideas.”
