Haxby Pilates Studio

Marina's online classes kept me flexible throughout lockdown but now it's so wonderful to attend classes in person at Haxby Pilates Studio! I have done Reformer classes with both James and Marina in the studio, they are excellent teachers. They are professional with a great sense of fun and both have a great teaching style with a lot of Pilates knowledge. I highly recommend Haxby Pilates Studio.

I absolutely loved my antenatal Pilates sessions with Clare. I was determined to keep active during my pregnancy but wasn’t sure how to do so safely and in the best way. Clare’s excellent knowledge really helped me grow in confidence and she was great at tailoring each session to my specific needs, even just listening to what I felt like working on each week. I’m so grateful to Clare for keeping me moving throughout my pregnancy and for teaching me relaxation techniques which were so helpful during labour!

I have been attending Marina's mat class for about a year now. It has been a brilliant class with very clear & helpful cues. I feel a lot stronger in my core, my back feels better than it ever has. The classes are fun too! I have tried a range of props which have been really great to try. I would recommend classes with Marina at haxby pilates to anyone new or experienced in pilates.

I can’t recommend Haxby Pilates enough! Having never done Pilates before they welcomed me to the studio and helped me feel comfortable and relaxed. I enjoy the reformer classes with Marina so much and honestly feel my fitness and core strength has improved greatly. Fantastic studio, fabulous classes and great teachers.

I can highly recommend Clare's excellent and knowledgeable Pilates reformer classes for pregnancy. Perfect balance of relaxation and more dynamic movement and Clare is great at making adjustments where needed. Originally recommended to me by my physio as a way to support some significant hip injury recovery, I will definitely be seeing if there is a way for me to continue beyond my pregnancy!

Getting back onto the reformer after lockdown has been a great experience. I feel immediate benefit from the conditioning and flexibility exercises without the post exercise soreness I used to get in the gym. Reformer has improved my posture, balance and flexibility. Marina and Jim are great instructors running challenging but fun classes in a friendly atmosphere.
