Kinesis Studios

Hmmm... I was hoping for a good work out, especially sicne there were only four of us in the class. The upside is that this work out is taylored to suit each participant, the downside is that a lot of time is being waisted on explaining each participant the proper way of doing each exercise. I definitely didn't get value for money here and won't be going back...

I had always wanted to attend a pilates class, but time and finances were not on my side, until I noticed the Wahanda offer for Kinesis studios, which are very local to me. I was warmly greeted upon my arrival and taken through a full body assessment of posture and breathing. There was only myself and one other participant in the class so I felt that the teacher was able to individually tailor to my requirements and weaknesses.

The next 45 minutes were given over to a set of exacting stretches and location-finding of muscle groups, using the extraordinary equipment that Pilates is famed for. I felt absolutely marvellous at the end of the session and can't wait to enjoy my remaining two sessions and this has given me the push to incorporate Pilates into my life for good!

The staff are incredibly lovely and the whole experience was bliss. (Pilates is hard work and I ached for days, but it was still a great experience!)
Really easy to organise and book, and I will definitely do this again if another deal comes up.

Writing on behalf of my partner who I dragged along with me and he got a lot of value out of the classes. Groups no larger than 4 people mean its a really comfortable environment, and both times there have actually been more guys than gals!

The Kenesis Studio is very handy to get to, being right next to Ladbroke Grove tube station. The facilities are clean and the equipment is state of the art. Classes are a maximum of 4 people, so you really feel as though you're getting a very personal service, and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend!

I had never tried pilates before so I went to Kinesis for a beginners lesson and I have to say I was really impressed. I have quite a few friends and family who rave about this place and I can now understand why.

I had a 1:1 session with Lucy who really took the time to understand my body. Pilates is not like a regular exercise class as its really about isolating and focusing on key muscles one exercise at a time. At times you are not sure what impact it is having but afterwards you feel it and you really feel more connected with your body. Lucy was really knowledgeable and explained each exercise as we went along and point out how my body was reacting.

The studio is clean, airy and bright and you feel you are in good hands. If you are looking for a great Pilates studio in and around holland park, notting hill or Kensal rise then this could be the one for you. I am definitely looking forward to going back.

I made a change two years ago from pilates to yoga, feeling as though I needed to join the band wagon of the om crowd. Perhaps I wasn't doing it right, but I felt as though all my core strength had gone and I wasn't fully getting the love being in amongst lots of people. Thankfully, I found Kinesis before it was too late... After 8 sessions, I feel leaner, taller, calmer and happier. The studio is an oasis of calm white light in amidst the busy streets of Notting Hill. The teachers are patient, world class, incredibly attentive and caring. There is a real feeling of welcoming as soon as you walk in the door. It's definitely on the pricier side, however there are lots deals to take advantage of! I've even started doing Gyro - which is the most freeing sensation through my body I've ever experienced!

Until I found Kinesis my overall experience with Pilates studios in London was less than satisfactory. I had been used to using pilates as excercise not as physio for geriatric patients. Located in a beautiful studio with attentive staff, Kinesis offers classes for all levels and needs whether on a one-to-one basis or in a group, often catering to a wide range of levels and needs within one class seemlessly. I was impressed by the group classes in that I am a very self-centered person who needs attention and I have never once felt neglected during group studio sessions. The classes are kept dynamic to your skill level and change day to day so as not to get routine. I was well on my way to pilates stardom when I, at the age of 30, became the dreaded aforementioned 'geriatric patient' in need of physio. Kinesis' physiotherapist is fantastic, not only does she have a keen understanding her trade but she uses alternative therapies such as acupuncture. She is far better than the other physios I have tried at hospitals and clinics. Furthermore, through working with her my information and needs are passed to the pilates instructors so that they can structure my rehab accordingly. The only downside is that they don't accept credit cards, which would make it easier to top-up my ten-pack of classes.
