Pilates; I swear by it! Flattens tummy, helps back pain and everyone at The Pilates Pod is lovely. Makes you feel really good about yourself.
As a bloke, I’ve always wondered whether Pilates was really for me, but at The Pilates Pod there are only 8 people so you never feel daft! Plus now I do it on the machines (reformer) and we all know men like machines, ha ha.
There was one reformer machine and that was great. But now there’s two, so I can come twice as often. Thanks Pilates Pod.
I’ve been coming to Pilates at The Pilates Pod for 18 months now and have gone from intro course, mat classes, reformer sessions once a week and now I come 2-3 a week. It’s addictive and it works!
My pilates reformer sessions are just the best. I travel a lot and have a busy work career to juggle, so I’m not always the most reliable to come each week, but each time I come I feel fantastic, the booking system makes is so easy and flexible and the staff are so skilled they know how to push you just the right amount. Thank you The Pilates Pod.
Reformer Pilates is the best fun you can have sliding up and down on a bed whilst toning your bits! Everyone should try it.
I just loved the Pilates intro mat course. I’ve been doing Pilates for years but learnt more in this than I’d ever done elsewhere in classes!
Not only are the Pilates Pod team fantastic at all things pilates, they are also fabulous to be involved with. Motivated, upbeat and really on the ball with technology and customer service the experience from beginning to end is a pleasure to be involved with.
I started at The Pilates Pod after years of doing it all wrong elsewhere! They have taught me so much and I am more toned now than before and every dropped a dress size!
the Pilates Pod is a great place to unwind and de-stress. Everyone is so friendly. The small class sizes means everybody gets the attention they deserve.
I was a bit nervous at first but there are lots of men at The Pilates Pod so it makes it a great place to work out.
The Pilates Pod in Hitchin helped my back pain when no one else could - thank you!
The Pilates Reformer is just brilliant - its pilates on a machine! I feel brilliant after each session.
The pilates classes are never the same. The instructors are by far the best in the area and I have improved so much my tummy is flatter and my back pain is gone.
The classes are very small and personal. Pilates has really been an excellent help for my back and I feel good about recomending the Pod
The Pilates sessions are really great but the way they operate a really flexible booking and credits is what I think make them really stand out from the crowd for client flexibility and customer service.
I have been doing Pilates for years in London but never had such a good teacher as they have here. I am toned, flexible and pain free. I wont miss my 2 sessions a week for anything now.
They make me work and make my whole body thank them for it! Its a great looking studio with brilliant instructors.
The Pilates Pod are super friendly and welcomng. Make the sessions great fun.
Fab Fab Fab! I can't speak highly enough about The Pilates Pod - I'm loving every class and cant wait for every one!
They are a professional and community orientated business which focuses on improving your healthy well-being.
Attentive instructors, varied interesting classes, flexible booking online, and attractive studio with good range of equipment.
I LOVE THE POD! I've been going to classes for over a year now, it's such a friendly place to go & has helped me loads. At one point last year, having put my back out through too many hours painting at my easel - I did some one on one reformer sessions & Michelle got me upright again. I can highly recommend the pod to anyone who wants to improve their flexibility, strength & general health. Sarah Graham, fine art painter
The studio at Pilates Pod is a bright, well-equipped space and the instructors are all extremely knowledgable. Pilates at the Pod has improved my posture and it has helped to strengthen my core muscles. I would encourage anyone, male or female to get signed up! Top marks!
Pilates pod is great, great attentive instructors and my body looks and feels great...well done Michelle and team!
