Local Information request Pilates classes for men

I really enjoy pilates. In general I couldn't care less who else is in a group but pilates classes tend to be almost uniquely female. I go and I enjoy it, but it would be nice to find a group that has at least a smattering of guys in it.

Quality is more important. There's an excellent instructor who I'll probably sign up with again next year but if there's a group that has some men I'd take a look.

And, with pilates being so good for flexibility, balance and building some strength why are men in general so reluctant?

I’ve only been to the class in Ide, but it’s usually a quarter to a third men: https://pilateswithannette.co.uk/classes/

Would be cool for a mens only class.
