The Team at Haxby Pilates are by far one of the most comprehensively trained group of instructors I have experienced. Aside from many being fully certified as Comprehensive Instructors (the Gold Standard) with Balanced Body Pilates many have additional skills and backgrounds in sport, physiotherapy, dance and Somatic movement! If you haven’t tried them out don’t delay. Whilst reformer Pilates is a growing trend in the industry seek out the best! Haxby Pilates! Highly recommend!

I started reformer pilates at the Haxby Studio around two years ago as a complete novice. I had some 1 to 1 classes at first to get the basics & then started attending the group classes. The instructors are friendly, hugely experienced and so encouraging. Class sizes are small which means that you get plenty of attention and guidance - so important in learning proper technique and form. The studio is such a happy & friendly place with all welcome. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I’ve been coming to Haxby Pilates studio for around 2 1/2 years since I moved up to York. I had previously done may Pilates but hadn’t tried Reformer Pilates and I absolutely love it. I have attended reformer classes with Marina, Meg and James who are all so welcoming and friendly, and brilliant and attentive instructors. The classes are nice and small so you can ask for help if and when you need it. You are able to focus on improving and progressing and as well as learning new exercises, always taught with great support and encouragement. I always feel great after a class and thoroughly enjoy the classes thanks to the lovely team at Haxby Pilates Studio

I just love this studio. Having moved to York and desperately trying to find a great reformer class, I came across Haxby Pilates. My first session with James was brilliant and I quickly joined a class. I've now been going for around 2 years and not just enjoy the new challenges each of the teachers do in every class but the other attendees are all really friendly. I also appreciate that the classes are small in number as that helps the teachers keep an eye on each of us to ensure we're doing each exercise correctly. Great place and definitely recommend to anyone of any level - there are loads of classes to suit any ability!

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 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.

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.

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.
