5/5
I have been heavy & unfit for most of my life, but in my fifties, discovered Pilates and thankfully, I have been transformed. I would say that Pilates helped make me more connected to my body especially my core. Because of Pilates, I feel more flexible, stronger and “younger”.
I keep coming back to this Studio because of the wonderful training experience with Nahdia (nickname Naz). Unlike other instructors who seem mechanical & impersonal, Naz connects with students, know them by name & look out for them during sessions. She shows the class how to do the moves and is very clear with verbal instructions which enable students to carry out the exercises (especially the difficult ones). Her words are precise and deliberate, she talks about which muscles or parts of the body are impacted by the workout. These are very helpful especially for beginners. During full classes, she makes an effort to go around to check & correct student(s)’ posture & position, which is very helpful. She reinforces positive praises too when the class or a student does a pose correcrly & beautifully. She is pleasant but pushes us to do more for our bodies. She makes an effort to do variations and makes use of the different workout machines & gadgets (not just the reformer), whenever possible.
Naz carries herself very professionally and is visually becoming as a Pilates instructor. Her outfits are awesome & inspiring.
I rate this studio an overall 5-star rating. Studio is spacious & huge and is very airy and clean. They generously provide masks & sanitizing wipes & require students to wipe all touch-points, making one feel safe.
If I am to comment on any area to improve, i would suggest for front desk staff to become more involved in welcoming students to support the Instructors.
