York Pilates People

Cannot recommend this studio enough. I joined around a year ago having tried a few different places but straight away this one felt like home. It's a lovely space and Lou is a fantastic teacher. Every class I have been to feels so welcoming and you never feel judged, even as a newbie, just supported. There are classes to suit most people's schedules (and even more now due to the transfer to video classes). I am currently pregnant and so have been attending the prenatal classes which are great too. It's good to meet other pregnant people and she offers postnatal classes which I am sure will be excellent as well. I've not had any of the expected pregnancy niggles like back ache and I'm sure it's down to these classes. Give it a go!

Highly recommended- I’ve attended different classes with all 3 teachers and have enjoyed them all. Very relaxed and friendly environment. New to Pilates 2 months ago and quite nervous about starting but I have been well looked after. You can work at your own pace in classes ...but you also feel like you’ve had a good work out. There has been a huge improvement in my back stiffness/soreness (from desk job) since I’ve been coming here.

Lou and her YPP are a fantastic Pilates studio. I’ve attended for some time, following a surgery and also pre and post natal. As a physio myself I am extra critical. Lou is experienced with the complex and specific pre and post natal needs of women. The exercises and classes are targeted and effective, without unnecessary stress on the body. I credit the classes for keeping me from pregnancy aches and pains, managing any niggles quickly, and feeling myself after birth. And the classes are friendly, relaxed and a great way to meet people, especially as a new mum!
