SISU Reformer Pilates & Movement Studio: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I can't thank Abby, Shiree and Sam at Sisu enough for the fun, professionalism and the knowledge these young women provide at classes on the reformer. No class is ever the same they are always mixing it up. I started a year ago in 2022 with a beginner class of 4 sessions just to see how I liked it, I struggled but was hooked. I now try and get to 3 classes a week that's how great I find it and how much my body has responded to the weekly treatment. Having gone through a cancer journey twice it was time to take back some control of my life and body. A transplant left my with muscle stiffness and weakness. I literally thought I would never work again let alone exercise. A friend recommended Sisu and I haven't looked back.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey and experience at SISU, Sonia. You are such a wonderful member of our community and we love having you in class!
Fantastic experience: I've attended a few Pilates Reformer classes at this studio and it's been fantastic. It is easy to get to in the main area of Pukekohe and there's usually plenty of parking within a 2 minute walk. The timetable offers a great variety of times and class types. I've been attending the Open Level which focuses on strength, mobility, and control. They cater to all levels, and always give different options for each exercise depending on your level. The instructors are knowledgeable, friendly and bubbly.
Thank you for sharing your review Maria! We have so loved having you in, thanks for choosing to give us a go

They create a welcoming and fun environment that makes each class an absolute joy to attend. The classes themselves are expertly designed to challenge all levels of ability.

Fantastic experience: Just attended my first class this week and have to say it’s such a lovely place to move your body. Studio is very calming, the instructors welcoming, kind and patient - and give nice clear instructions for a newbie! Will be back! ☺️
Thank you so much for your review and for sharing your experience as a first timer to our studio Sarah! Thank you for trusting us, we look forward to welcoming you back again soon
Fantastic experience: Sisu is such a vibe! I had been wanting to do reformer Pilates for literal years before finally taking the leap and trying it out, and I’m so glad I did! The Sisu instructors are so warm and welcoming that you’re immediately put at ease as a newbie. They offer such a great mix of encouragement to push yourself and embrace the burn while also honouring where your body is at that day. Functionality is always front of mind with lots of discussions about what you’re working and why, while keeping things light and fun. I’ve attended classes several times a week all throughout my pregnancy and have loved all of the evidence based advice and alternatives to try when things get a bit tricky with a big belly. It’s so refreshing to work out with people who treat you as capable and strong while pregnant, instead of focussing on fragility. Such a wonderful little community to be apart of ☺️
THANK YOU Ione for trusting us with your first Reformer Pilates experience and continuing to attend with your precious cargo on board. We absolutely love that you have continued to move with us throughout your pregnancy and absolutely adore watching you smash out all the challenges that are on offer with baby on board - you are a LEGEND! Thank you so much for all of your support and for all the referrals you have made to family and friends, we are so so grateful. We love having you as a member of our community and we cannot wait to welcome your little one to the mix once they arrive! Thank you again, Ione
Fantastic experience: I’ve just completed another great session at Sisu Pilates Pukekohe. I always leave these sessions feeling more energised, the stretching & balance exercises have improved my overall body strength & the instructors are encouraging & cheerful!
Thank you for sharing your kind words and experience at SISU Fra! You are a huge inspiration to our community of clients and instructors with your consistency and we love seeing your strength improve every time you come to class. Thank you for choosing SISU and giving us the opportunity to support you!
Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend Sisu more! The instructors are warm and welcoming, and do a great job catering for all levels of ability. Such a positive and vibrant atmosphere!
Hi Zoe, thanks so much for your review! We have loved meeting you in and having you join us over the last few weeks and hope to see more of you
Fantastic experience: I have been attending Sisu classes for 4 weeks now and I am loving it! I am new to reformer Pilates, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The team were incredibly warm and welcoming and have helped me to learn at my pace, whilst leaving each class feeling stronger and excited for the next one. I highly recommend Sisu to anyone.
Hi Shay, thanks so much for your review and for trusting us with your introduction to Reformer Pilates! We are thrilled to have had you join our community and can't wait to be alongside you as you get stronger ⭐️
Fantastic experience: Abby and her team are incredibly welcoming, I started reformer as a complete newbie and have felt so welcome from my first class. I absolutely love the mama and mini class with the ability to take my young baby with me without the fear of him crying and disrupting a class! Highly highly recommend Sisu for reformer Pilates!
Thank you for sharing Annaliese! We are thrilled to hear you have had such a wonderful experience at SISU. We adore having you (+ mini!) in, thank you for choosing to move with us
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best pilates studio South of the bridge. I haven't participated in pilates for a decade, no exercise for 2 years and I needn't have felt nervous, I was in good hands! The ladies who run these classes are incredible. Their vibes are infectious, their encouragement knows no bounds and you're always greeted with your name and a massive smile. Don't be fooled though, they will work you hard! They want to see you achieve your goals! Beautiful studio, quality equipment and ample parking. 10 Stars would be given if it were possible. Thanks Abby and team xx
Oh Shanna thank you for such a raving review! We are thrilled to hear your return to exercise and Pilates has been a positive experience at SISU! We are so excited to work with you and see you achieve amazing things, thank you for trusting us
Fantastic experience: I've just hit 50 classes at Sisu, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment you step in, you're treated like more than just a client—you're treated like a friend. The care and attention the instructors give each person are truly exceptional. They take the time to notice the little things and ensure you're comfortable and supported throughout your session. One of the things I love most about Sisu is the variety of instructors. Each one brings their unique style and approach to the workouts, which keeps things fresh and challenging. No two classes are the same, and that variety has helped me stay engaged and motivated. It's clear that the team at Sisu is passionate about what they do, and that energy is contagious.

Fantastic experience: Great class very friendly and professional that caters to all levels. Instructors are seriously client focused, time aware, and acknowledge the value of a connecting experience with the client along with a great element of fun! Exceptionally , professional ,warm and inviting space with very well maintained and clean equipment. Fantastic personal follow up after my first class and continued throughout the 2 week introductory offer, which not only is a great incentive but also a marketing tool. I'm hooked and signed up after the first class!! Thanks SISU keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for your review Pandora, and thank you for trusting us with your Reformer Pilates journey! We are thrilled you are enjoying the classes and the experience we offer, and we look forward to working with you to achieve your health and fitness goals. Thank you again
Fantastic experience: SISU is an incredible local Pilates studio! Every single instructor is fantastic and challenges you in different ways which make the classes interesting and exciting. The Mama & Mini classes were amazing for me when my son was little, something to get us out of the house and help build back my strength postpartum leading into the open reformer classes, which are great because they suit all levels. If you are on the fence about trying reformer pilates, highly recommend SISU to all!
Thank you very much for your review Kaitlyn! We are so happy you have had such a great experience in both our Mama & Mini and Open Level classes. We so love having you in and watching you get stronger!
Fantastic experience: I love going to SISU every week, it’s such a friendly and welcoming environment no matter what your fitness level is. The instructors are awesome and are always there to challenge you but will never judge you wherever your body is at that day. You always walk out of the class feeling amazing (even if your quite sore )
Hi Nicole, thank you for your review! I'm so glad you love coming to our classes each week; we love having you

Thank you for sharing your experience, Lauren! We are stoked that you were made to feel so welcome - it's really important that every person that walks through our studio doors feels this way, so it's great to hear that this was your experience.

Fantastic experience: I have tried a few classes with my intro pack and have loved then all! Every instructor is so warm and encouraging. They bring such great energy that gets you pumped for class. They also allow a lot of flexibility for what level you are, how hard you’d like to push and injuries. Highly recommend.
We have SO loved having you in and welcoming you to our community, Holly! Thanks so much for giving us a go and for such a wonderful review. We hope to see more of you in class
Fantastic experience: Sisu is a great place to do reformer Pilates!! I love my Monday night Pilates with Sam, she has amazing flow and transitions so smoothly into the next move. The legs are burning within the first 30 seconds. You really can pick your own workout with the options that are given, and shout out to our Monday night crew who absolutely rock!!
Thanks so much for your review Linda! I'm so happy that you love your Monday nights with Sam and your crew thanks for being a part of our community!
Fantastic experience: Exceptional studio with outstanding instructors! The classes are engaging, challenging, and made to meet individual needs. The atmosphere is welcoming and calm, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. I've experienced significant improvements in my flexibility, core strength, and balance (embrace your wobbles like Abby says) The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and provide personalized attention to ensure proper form and technique. Everyone in SISU is encouraging and supportive, the sense of community and connection among members makes each class a joy to attend. I couple of weeks ago I completed my 50 classes and Im looking forward to 50 more.
Thank you so much for your review Daniela! We are thrilled that you have noticed such incredible benefits during your time with us so far, and we are so happy you enjoy our classes. Thank you for trusting us on your health and wellness journey, Daniela!
Fantastic experience: Abby & her team are extremely welcoming. You feel at home from your first visit (even if you've never done pilates). The team have built a lovely, inclusive community. The small group atmosphere allows the instructors to give you the attention you need yet the space you desire. No matter your experience, each class and the movements can be modified to meet your needs. As a new mum, I enjoy bringing my little one to the mama & mini class and connecting with other, like-minded mamas. I additionally appreciate the quick responses and assistance. Abby is outstanding at returning emails and communicating. Also, the booking system is super easy and even let's you add your booking to your calendar. If you're looking for your new, local studio, I HIGHLY recommend SISU!!
Hi Jen, thank you so much your review. It means the world that you have had such a positive experience and we are so enjoying having you (and mini!) as a part of our community. Thank you again
Fantastic experience: I have been going to SISU for a couple of years now and I do a mix of group classes and solo sessions with Tyla! Seeing my mobility and strength improve significantly has been amazing! Each instructor have their own style of teaching, all of whom are so passionate and knowledgeable with the overall aim to get you strong. The team have done an amazing job at creating a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment. With my solo sessions with Tyla, she has the ability to challenge and encourage me all whilst being my biggest cheerleader! Abby has done an amazing job at creating an atmosphere that makes people feel empowered!
Thank you for sharing your experience Rita! It has been such a joy to watch you get stronger and more mobile over the last few years, and to see your results sky rocket with private classes. We all love having you in class and watching you take on any challenge we throw at you. We so look forward to seeing what you achieve in the future at SISU! Thanks for being a part of our community

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love going to SISU its such a welcoming place, lots of fun and laughter during every class. First time doing reformer & I joined 12 months postpartum as I was no longer enjoying my old exercise style and I can’t believe how strong I have gotten in just 3 months, its been the best thing for my body postpartum. Absolutely rave about Abby and the team at SISU to everyone!

Fantastic experience: I was thinking to change my body and decided to join pilates. I seared online for it in pukekohe and somehow i liked Sisu among others and i straightaway joined it . It was the best decision of my life and asked my husband to join it too. We both are enjoying it every time we go the class. Amazing, supporting and friendly staff. The environment is beautiful amd love the vibe of the studio. Absolutely loving it day by day and would recommend it up everyone
Thanks so much Raj! We are so enjoying having both you and Malkiat in class and watching you both get stronger. Thank you for choosing SISU and for sharing your experience
Fantastic experience: I was so nervous about trying Pilates but saw the new member promo and decided to give it a go. When I got to the studio I was met with a lovely, friendly group of people who made me feel very welcome. I have injuries I have been neglecting and SISU is helping with my recovery and I have been really enjoying it. I have since signed up for three months worth and I can’t wait to see the results.
Hi Amy, thank you for sharing your experience at SISU so far! I’m so happy to hear that our classes are helping with your recovery and we look forward to helping you even further over the next little while. Thank you again!
Fantastic experience: I have recently joined this amazing studio. Working out can be intimidating at the gym for anyone, I haven't been able to get back into fitness after having my children. However, the team at SISU are amazing, and I feel very happy and comfortable working out with them (even if I can't walk properly after ). I started out by grabbing one of their trial packs but quickly discovered I wanted to stay. Never been happier and I am enjoying the different things I am learning along the way. All the instructors I have had are very attentive and helpful with there directions making it enjoyable and giving you the opportunity to push yourself even further than you thought. Would highly recommend SISU and the wonderful team running the classes.
Hi Stacey, thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are so proud of you for getting back into exercise and making some time for yourself, and grateful that you chose to do that at SISU. We are so happy that you feel comfortable at our studio and you are enjoying our classes - we love having you!

Thanks so much Emma! Thanks for bringing such great vibes and energy to class - we’re stoked to have you as a member of our community!
Fantastic experience: Sisu, my Pilates haven! After my beloved instructor ventured into new lands, I stumbled upon Sisu. The owner, Abby, was a guiding light, answering my barrage of questions with patience and wisdom. A tad nervous about joining group classes, fearing my own eagerness might lead me to injury, I was pleasantly surprised. Sisu is like a warm embrace, offering modifications for every soul in the room and fostering a community that's as judgement-free as it is encouraging. Now, I'm a thrice-weekly devotee, wishing each day could be a Sisu day. For anyone on the fence, take the leap. Sisu isn't just a studio; it's a sanctuary of strength and support. Highly recommend! ✨
Oh Tracy you absolute darling, thank you so much for sharing your experience at SISU so far.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love coming to classes at Sisu. The girls are fantastic. Super friendly and informative. They absolutely make you feel welcome and comfortable throughout the whole class, every class. There is also a lovely effort to create a personal connection that they grow with their clients too, very positive experience. I’ve just started the pregnancy /mama classes with Abby and it was awesome being able to move again and have Abby help me through any changes for the exercises and continuous check ins to make sure I felt good. Highly recommend signing up to Sisu! You won’t regret it :)

The playlists are upbeat, the studio is always beautifully clean and the lush plants make the atmosphere somewhere you want to be. I can’t recommend Abby and the team enough for increasing strength, flexibility and fitness.
Thank you so much for your review Missy, and for sharing your experience. We love hearing that you enjoy our classes, atmosphere and vibe. We love having you in, thank you for trusting us with your Reformer journey!
Fantastic experience: LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! If you are looking for a supportive, fun, challenging and positive place to work out - stop looking cos you've found it here with Abby and the team at SISU. After being a reformer addict for years and struggling to find a studio that I felt comfortable in, supported and encouraged, I couldn't believe my luck discovering SISU and am so grateful. You aren't just another number or client here, you get welcomed into this supportive space that really has become a haven for me this past year. Even after moving to a town ages away I still regularly make the trip to Pukekohe weekly to get my SISU fix. I always leave with a smile on my face whether its from having pushed myself that little bit more or having had a chuckle with the entertaining instructors and their (BCE) big CHICK energy! Massive thanks to Abby and the team for creating such a wonderful space <3.
Fin - I have no words and you have brought tears to my eyes. That is the most incredible review. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for being such an integral part of our community. I am so grateful for you still making the effort to come to the studio because we ADORE having you in class (and when you said you were moving away I felt sad that I wouldn't be seeing you anymore). Thank you for being such a joy to teach and for your commitment to your health and wellbeing. We you!PS. BCE for life

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome Pilates Studio in the heart of Pukekohe. Incredibly supportive and you genuinely feel like you are part of the Sisu family. Really enjoy the classes, it doesn't even feel like exercise, but definitely see the results mentally and physically. Thank you Abby and Tyla for creating such a wonderfully inclusive environment for all people to not only get strong in so many ways, but to build confidence and be part of a lovely group of people. Now that I'm moving overseas will miss you guys so much! Look forward to popping in for a class or 2 when I'm back on holiday.

Thank you so much for sharing Pauline! We love having you in our classes!
Fantastic experience: I joined Sisu earlier in the year and have no regrets. Fabulous, friendly instructors, cool vibes and no class is the same. I don’t like exercise generally but look forward to going to my bookings at Sisu. Highly recommended
Hooray for no regrets! Thanks so much for leaving a review and moving with us Hannah, we always look forward to having you in the studio
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Abby and the team at Sisu Pilates. Each instructor brings their own spicy flavour to their classes but they are all wonderfully welcoming and so helpful. Through reformer I have gained back my strength and mobility. It has helped me in so many ways and I am so happy to have found a form of exercise that I can truly say I love! Can not recommend Sisu enough!
Thank you so much for your review, Jade! We are so happy that you feel welcomed at the studio and enjoy our classes, and even happier that you have gained back your strength and mobility - how good! We love having you as a member of our community.
Fantastic experience: At the ripe age of 69yrs I’m thoroughly enjoying Reformer Pilates. As an avid golfer I found as I’ve aged and following serious abdominal surgery a few years ago I needed to concentrate on my muscle strength more. Reformer Pilates gives me many options for resistance work in a subtle way with the many choices of spring/weights to work the different areas of my body. Abby and her team makes the 45min classes interesting and different each time with the use of balls, weights, hoops, box, that the time seems to go very quickly. Abby is encouraging and offers different levels to each movement to suit individual requirements. In the 6 wks I started doing 2 sessions a week I feel fitter, slightly stronger at this stage. Feel I stand up straighter and feel more motivated. Abby is now helping my husband who has arthritic issues to get more flexibility which can only improve his daily living and golf. I certainly celebrate this form of exercise in a controlled and positive environment with small class size.
Age is only a number, right OEnone?! You are such a delight to have in class and a true inspiration. Thank you for putting your health first and trusting us to help you with your fitness journey! Keep up the great work and thank you so much for sharing your experience in this review.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love coming to Sisu! I’d never done Pilates of any sort before coming here & was made to feel welcome instantly! I initially joined as I thought it would be an “easier” workout to ease myself back into fitness and while I was often wrong on the easy part, it doesn’t feel like working out at all and I always leave feeling amazing. Their gentle encouragement to push myself that little bit more to do exercises I didn’t think I would be capable of and seeing my strength & confidence grow has been great! Abby and her amazing team of instructors are so uplifting and have created such a friendly environment that caters to all. They have an amazing wealth of knowledge and are ALWAYS super bright & bubbly to be around. Sisu is such a happy space to be in and I highly recommend the studio to anyone, of any level who is wanting to give it a go!
Oh Holly thank you so much for your review! We are so so happy to hear that you have had such a positive experience at SISU. We love having you in our classes, thank you for trusting us with your health and fitness journey!
Fantastic experience: I started off coming to Sisu doing the Mama & Mini classes after having my baby girl last year. Was so great, really supported rebuilding your core muscles postpartum. I currently go twice a week now my baby is 1, love the way I feel after each class! All the instructors are so supportive and understand if you have any niggles/injuries and happily work around it. A great balance of strength training and stretching, works wonders for your body! Would highly recommend the studio if anyone is interested in trying reformer pilates!
Where has that time gone Hayley?! It's been such a pleasure to see you get stronger postpartum, graduating from Mama & Mini into our regular classes. Thank you so much for sharing your experience at SISU, we really value your review and having you as part of our community.
Fantastic experience: A Hidden Gem in Pukekohe If you're looking for a boutique Reformer Pilates studio in the heart of Pukekohe, let me introduce you to SISU Reformer Pilates and Movement Studio. As someone who is by no means a fitness enthusiast, but who enjoys pushing my limits, allow me to share my genuine and unbiased thoughts about this studio. Initially I was uncertain about attending a class as I'm quite an introvert, but honestly, it was the best decision, because now I regularly have the pleasure of experiencing what SISU has to offer! From the moment I walked through the doors, I was warmly greeted by the SISU team, immediately creating a friendly environment that made me feel right at home. The studio itself, with its fresh and cute ambiance, creates a calming atmosphere that sets the tone for your workout session. Regardless of your fitness level, whether you are a beginner, an intermediate, or an advanced practitioner, SISU will provide you with a tailored experience; Reformer really is accessible to all levels of fitness! The SISU team truly embodies the essence of the brand, the instructors are accommodating, catering to the unique needs of each participant, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and motivated to push themselves. Their expertise in Reformer Pilates and movement techniques is evident in their precise and informative instructions. They guide you through each movement seamlessly, ensuring proper form and technique while making the class hard yet enjoyable. Personally, I found the challenge invigorating; the kind that leaves you pleasantly sore and accomplished afterwards, and coming in for the first time 9 months postpartum, my core has never been as strong and my long standing back pain, all but gone!
Wow Wendy, thank you so so much for sharing such a detailed review of your SISU experience! We are lucky to have you as a member of our studio community. Thanks for showing up, doing the work and pushing yourself - we love watching you get stronger!
Fantastic experience: Update: (Sept 2023) back to SISU after a few months of break,. As always great and awesome classes from all the instructors, The team are lovely, supportive and encouraging of your goals. Love seeing my body getting stronger after a long break from exercise. Thanks SISU Just finished a 4 week Reformer Total class with Sisu and I absolutely love it. Being totally new with reformer and even pilates, the 4 week intro class made me feel confident with the machine, the equipments and exercise routines. The studio is kept clean and runs on time. Abby is friendly, helpful and patient, just the right instructor you need if you are a beginner like me. Overall, the experience is wonderful and I am looking forward to progressing to the standard Foundation class.
We are so happy to hear that you have had such a great experience, KC! We love seeing how confident you are in classes now that you know the ropes, it makes us so happy! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review.
Fantastic experience: Thanks Abby for bringing this amazing studio to Pukekohe! Great workout and beautiful space x

Fantastic experience: Boutique Pilates studio with excellent instructors and gear. Each session is a treat ⭐️
Thanks for coming and supporting the studio Jo, and for your review! Always a treat having you in class
Fantastic experience: After spending a few months doing the Foundations class, I took the challenge of attempting Abby's Progressions Sisu class. Definitely a step up from the Foundations class with added emphasis on core strength and learning new moves. As always, there's varying levels of difficulty which Abby layers onto each movement and allowing us the options of making things "spicy" as she calls it. Definitely recommend trying her Progressions class if you are looking to level up your sisu experience.
Thanks so much for sharing Byron! It's always a pleasure having you in studio, even thought you give me dagger eyes I know you love the challenge
Fantastic experience: Abby has created a welcoming & fresh space to escape the daily grind. Whether you are new to pilates or already have it all sussed, Abby makes sure you are serving your body well through a choice of classes as well as in class options to suit your level of experience.
Thank you so much for joining us in the studio and for your kind review Claire!
Fantastic experience: You will leave Sisu not only feeling physically better but also mentally. Abby has created such a fun, welcoming and comfortable environment that I would recommend going to anyone no matter their fitness level.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Katie! It's such a pleasure having you in studio and we are so happy that you enjoy your time with us.

Thank you Hollie! We love having you in the studio and seeing you get stronger!
Fantastic experience: What a hidden gem! I have been trying to get to a class for months and kept chickening out HAH! Finally went and what an amazing workout. Coming from fast paced workouts this is great to incorporate into my weekly fitness and I definitely feel the burn! Lots of variety for all fitness levels
Aw bless you Aimee thank you so much for your review! So glad you decided to come and check it out and that you are enjoying your classes with us
Fantastic experience: Sisu is absolutely amazing, definitely recommend to everyone! Super friendly and welcoming environment. When I started I was a complete beginner and Abby made me feel super comfortable. The classes are awesome and I’m already seeing great results! 10/10 will be back
Thanks so much Amanda! We love seeing you in the studio and how strong you are getting, amazing work! Thank you for supporting SISU
Fantastic experience: Abby has created an amazing intimate Pilates Studio. She is so friendly and makes everyone feel comfortable. Abby provides you with different options if you are a regular wanting to push yourself or giving it a go for the first time. I am always so excited to go to my class. You definitely need to try it out!
Thank you so much for your kind words Jaz - we are thrilled you enjoy our classes and we LOVE having you in studio!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love Abby and her style of teaching at Sisu - no workout is the same (a good thing), and the intensity and challenge is consistently fantastic (even if you’re feelin’ muscles you forgot about). Very ‘ouch’ in a good way! Importantly, the atmosphere and welcoming vibe always makes it fun and personal. I keep going back - even when I am struggling with motivation … always worth it! ❤️ Heart, soul and body.
Justine, thank you so so much for sharing your experience and for your ongoing support! We love having you in our classes and watching you get stronger!
Fantastic experience: I had never tried a reformer pilates class before coming to SISU so I didn't really know what to expect. I was hooked from the first class and loved Abby's bubbly personality and teaching style. What I particularly enjoy about the classes is that you can push yourself as much or as little as you like, with no pressure from Abby or Sam.
Thank you for your review Chenay! We are stoked that you love our classes, and we love you being a part of our community thanks for taking the plunge to check it out!
Fantastic experience: Abby has created and opened such an magnificent place, that has truly opened my eyes up to the pilates world. Sisu is such a beautiful calming environment wakes you up for the day ahead, gives you a midday boost for the afternoon, and an after work spice. Abby and new instructor Sam, are amazing at what they teach, and push us to those extra spicy limits. If you want to try an exercise that's different but really works you out. Works with you if you have injuries or aches and pains. Sisu Reformer Pilates is for you
Aw Lauren, that is so kind, thank you so much for your review. We love having you in studio and love that you are enjoying Reformer Pilates with us!
Fantastic experience: An intimate studio with a fantastic atmosphere. Abby is always in high spirits and takes a genuine interest in everyone attending the classes to help us all reach our goals. I really look forward to attending classes each week.
Thanks so much for your review Jaimee! We absolutely LOVE having you as part of our studio community, always a treat having you in class
Fantastic experience: I started with the 4 week Reformer Total workshop and thoroughly enjoyed every session. I wasn’t confident about using the machine going in to the first session but Abby took the time to walk us through how everything works and then stepped us through various exercises with options to level up for more “spice”. I have since continued with the Foundations classes and I look forward to going each week. Abby is always so warm and welcoming and encourages you through the burn. I feel great after each class and would recommend for anyone to give it a go!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and leaving us a review Sophie! We are so happy that you enjoy coming to the studio, we love having you!
Fantastic experience: I started solo sessions with Abby about two months ago to help with strengthening my leg after an injury and can 100% say I'm now hooked on the reformer!! Abby makes you feel so welcome and motivated, I wouldn't say I'm the most coordinated person and was nervous to start attending group classes but now that I have I won't look back. The Foundations class is amazing for anyone new to the reformer and if you have an injury Abby will help you through it and help you work towards your goals. Couldn't recommend Sisu more, so glad I found this amazing business to help me with my fitness goals!
Thanks so much Monique! You are doing such an amazing job in the classes and we are super proud of you thank you for trusting us with your rehab journey!
Fantastic experience: Wow! LOVE Sisu Reformer Pilates Studio. Abby is an absolute vibe, she creates a warm, friendly and encouraging environment for everyone. I had never done Pilates before and I had so much fun. It is such a great workout, you use muscles you didn't even know you had! Ladies, give it a go! You'll see me there :P
Thank you so much Karina! We love that you enjoyed your first Pilates experience and we can't wait to see you in the studio again soon!
Fantastic experience: sisu has been an amazing way to move my body! I've been attending for 4 months now, and loved every minute. Abby (founding instructor) and Sam (newest recruit) are aces at getting the perfect amount out of your body. They'll encourage you to listen to your body, and assist you to push your flexibility and strength as far as you want to push it on that particular day
Thank you so much for your review Kelly! We absolutely LOVE having you in our classes and we love seeing you smash every challenge we throw your way. Thank you for your ongoing support
