Absolutely amazing place with fantastic instructors. I love each and everyone of my sessions. Each instructor has their own unique way of teaching. You never leave feeling disappointed. The fact I can do things I never ever thought I could make me feel so proud. Its all down to the way each instructor teaches to understand the principles of using the reformer. And applying Joseph pilates techniques. There are two studios to chose from, with either 5 or 6 reformers. I prefer the stirchley studio as its closer to me. I love the fact having only 5 reformer make it feel more personal and supportive. Definitely recommend this place. If you want to challenge yourself try the Hall Green studio, where you can try the tower cadillac or the chair. I dont know why I didnt try reformer pilates before, but I do know this is something i'm planning on doing for a very long time 😃
