“Absolute newbie and loved it! I’m 50, unfit and have a bit of a crook back. I’ve joined hoping to strengthen my core and help ease the stiffness in my back and hips. Alana is an excellent instructor and assisted me where needed. I left the class sweaty and on top of the world. Thank you Alana, I will be back.”

“I just had my third class at Bendi Pilates with Alana, and I couldn’t be more impressed! Alana has such a warm and welcoming approach that instantly put me at ease. Her guidance is clear and encouraging, making it easy to follow along even as a beginner. The class was challenging but accessible, and I already feel inspired to keep coming back. Highly recommend for anyone looking to start or get back into Pilates!”
