Once again I'm giving Hatton Garden a 10/10 score because I really do love the community vibe there. I always receive a warm welcome and friendly chat from Nisha and Ella when I walk in, and the studio facilities are tidy and clean. Pretty much the only reason I keep coming to the HG studio is because of Shane's classes, so I really hope that scheduling doesn't change any time soon because myself and many of the other regulars would be devastated!
Shane has a real knack for keeping his classes fresh and challenging, I never feel like I’m just going through the motions because his programming feels like it's building towards something more challenging each week. He is excellent at checking in on injuries or limitations and making real-time adjustments. Even if I'm being stubborn and don't want to pull back, I've learned to trust his expertise and guidance and take it easy when I need to. His approach has been vital in supporting my long-term consistency and confidence while I navigate multiple injuries. He recently recommended that I try some massage therapy with Ruth to compliment my rehab program and that holistic look at my recovery is really helping me get results.
Beyond the workout itself, Shane really sets the standard for the studio. He welcomes everyone with a big smile and makes a concerted effort to get to know people's names and lives. I often notice other Ten staff joining his classes which shows just how much respect he has from his peers.
The only thing I still find very frustrating is that Ten doesn't accept my Vitality Health insurance. This means I can't fully utilise the Circle of Care approach at Ten and have to do my physiotherapy at Pure Sports Medicine instead, which is a shame as I’d prefer to keep everything under one roof.
Also, the studio room needs more plants! There's a perfect shelf right above the cubby holes just begging for some beautiful greenery to enhance the vibe and air quality. Some Pothos Plants would be stunning, they're very easy to care for too!
Shane is an excellent teacher who took the time to teach in a way that responded to people’s strengths and weaknesses. Despite an injury I was able to participate fully, but it was still challenging. He creates a very positive atmosphere and I’m always a bit sad when the lesson comes to an end.
Fantastic instructor, really thorough and catered to everyone's situation. First time doing Pilates at TEN health and I can confidently say it was a great experience.
