Birmingham Pilates Studios

I started learning Pilates because i had lower back pain and Miguel is my first teacher. He is very helpful and Professional, he always give me confidence to ask me to try some new. The environment of the studio is also very nice and relaxing. My back pain gets better in one month and I will continue to practice in the future and i enjoy it so much. Thank you Miguel!

Yesterday was my second visit to see Miguel at the Birmingham Pilate Studio. I believe in first impressions, and my second visit only verified my first.The studio is a safe, calm and relaxing environment allowing its users to feel comfortable in their surrounds. The studio is fitted with equipment throughout, allowing users to add a number of variations to their Pilates routine, whether this be to add an extra level of complexity, or, to make the movement easier.Miguel equally radiates an aura of calmness. His dedication to the true original ethos of Pilates, is without question, and he prides himself on his unwavering commitment.During my sessions, Miguel has been able to breakdown my areas of weakness (a rather un-supple back), and tailored my sessions around this, whilst ensuring I stayed true to the whole routine.I also had a brief opportunity to meet Olga, the newest member of the team. Although brief, I can see they she also has a passion to rival that of Miguel, and I believe they will make a great partnership of the studio.I look forward to my return visits, and urge everyone to check out this amazing place.

If you really want to learn what pilates is all about, this is the right place for you. I am a professional swimmer and struggled with even fundamental exercises but Miguel Bengoa will push your boundaries to discover more about your body through contrology! Miguel is an extremely passionate person and has tremendous knowledge and experience in pilates. He will tailor your sessions as needed to achieve your goals.

As a Pilates beginner I went into my one to one Pilates sessions quite hesitant, however Miguel and Olga made myself feel at ease, and confident enough to challenge myself, without overdoing it. After only a few sessions, I noticed how much more aware I was of my posture, my balance, my alignment, and felt my physical strength gain week after week.Both Miguel and Olga take a very supportive and thorough approach, with my progress being their top priority. I would highly recommend Birmingham Pilates Studio!

I couldn’t boost this more. I never knew a thing about Pilates before my first lesson with Miguel. I was given a full run through of the basics and background. During my first lesson Miguel really listened to my questions and carefully explained the science of control. After completing my sessions I have finally got a sense of control back in my life, both mentally and physically. Not only that, but I have noticed my body becoming so much more toned up too! Can’t wait to continue lessons with Miguel! He’s amazing! Please do consider starting Pilates here, even if you have NO knowledge- it will help so much!

This Pilates studio in Zellig is just amazing. Brilliant trainers who can offer a bespoke approach. A special shoutout to Olga. She is a gem. She clearly demonstrated how to perform the moves and corrected me if I did wrong. I leave sessions feeling empowered. My body and soul benefit so much from these sessions. Highly recommended.

I've wanted to learn more about the practice of pilates for a long time now and am so glad I found Miguel and his studio.As soon as you step through the door you are greeted by a beautifully light and airy space and lots of different apparatus, which at first seem quite intimidating but Miguel quickly dissolves any of those worries. Miguel is very knowledgeable and encouraging teacher and makes you feel at ease in his presence; he is passionate in teaching you the true form of pilates and gives brilliant and detailed instructions on how to execute each exercise properly with good form, while giving modifications if needed to suit your own personal needs.I am confident in practicing the mat work at home independently now and feel so much better mentally and physically since starting my pilates practice at the studio. I can't wait to progress even more!Thank you Miguel for everything!

I have been practising at Birmingham Pilates Studios for the last couple of months and have seen really good results in both my physical and mental well-being. Miguel is super helpful, friendly, and always willing to offer useful advice as to how you can get the most out of your exercises. His studio is a clean and pleasant environment for people to spend their time in. To me, a lesson with Miguel is always a good distraction from every day routine and one of the things that keep me going! I would definitely recommend this studio to anyone considering doing pilates. It can be amongst the best things you can do for yourself!

I attended classes with Miguel a few times a week while I was acting on a UK Theatre tour in Birmingham (easy 15min walk from the New Alexandra Theatre) and loved them! He was very patient and understanding and catered each lesson to my specific needs. I felt he really took the time to understand what my body needed and how far I could go. He is very positive but also really encourages you to challenge yourself, so you leave feeling you've achieved a lot! Would highly recommend and will definitely return if ever in Birmingham again. Thank you Miguel!
