I’ve been a loyal client at Ten Hatton Garden for many years and I continue to rate my experience 10/10, primarily because of the exceptional standard of class instruction. At the moment, Shane's classes are the primary reason I remain a client. His expertise, professionalism, and technical skill are evident in every session. I really appreciate his biomechanical explanations and the fact that he goes into the "how" and "why" behind movements in a way few other trainers do, which I find crucial for executing exercises with the correct form. He manages the class experience brilliantly by checking for injuries at the start and providing meticulous, individualised cueing throughout the hour. Personally, I can attest that he has been incredibly helpful in adapting exercises for my recent abdominal injury, ensuring I can still progress safely and even encouraging me to take a few weeks off when that was required. Beyond his technical ability, I see that Shane is very welcoming to new clients and makes a point to check in and congratulate them on their progress after class. This friendliness has helped foster a great sense of community at the studio. I usually see the same faces every Tuesday and Thursday, and recently we’ve even formed a regular "Sunday Afternoon Crew" consisting of some Ten trainers from other studios who specifically choose Shane's classes for their own practise. Because this core group is so consistent, Shane is able to challenge us in unique, progressive, and interesting ways. The front of house team of Nisha, Ella, and Jon are also wonderful and always so helpful, which makes the studio feel very personal. Finally, it’s great to see the continued investment in the site. The upgrades to the PT studio look amazing and I’m definitely a bit jealous that the new setup wasn't there when I was doing my PT sessions a year ago!
Shane is a fantastic trainer. He has a really good understanding of the Pilates method and he makes his classes fun but also challenging at the appropriate level. There are just 10 reformers in the room so everyone gets support if needed.
The room is bright and pleasant and the reception staff, Rlla and Nisha are always really welcoming.
