The Pilates Studio High Barnet

I can't recommend Michelle highly enough. She is so well-informed about Pilates, unfailingly positive and cheerful and has sorted out no end of long-term ailments for me. A really holistic approach ... she meets you where you are, rather than imposing routines. A life-changing discovery!

I have been attending the Pilates Studio High Barnet for well over 20 years since Michelle Papouis first opened it. Every session I have attended either in a small group or more regularly on a 1 to 1, has been of invaluable benefit. I always feel 100% safe, which is paramount in this kind of exercise. Michelle's incredible physiology knowledge is impressive and quite unusual in this discipline. Within minutes of being in the studio, Michelle can read and assess what your body needs in order to concentrate on those areas. Over the years, Michelle has made it her responsibility to attend many relevant seminars and classes to further develop new techniques such as Gyrokinesis. In recent months, because of the pandemic and the lock down periods, Michelle has worked tirelessly to provide Zoom sessions, both in group sessions as well as 1 to 1 sessions which have been life savers during these challenging times. I highly recommend this studio for providing unique and tailor made various Pilates and Gyrokinesis sessions always provided safely and professionally. Danile

I love Michelle's classes! I have been attending her group classes for a few years but the online sessions have been a godsend during lockdown - keeping me moving and flexible! Michelle has a phenomenal ability to get to the root of people's problems (even over zoom and when she has lots of people in the class) and I always feel better after a session. I can't recommend Michelle enough!!

I have been going to Michelle and Colin for pilates for about 4 years now and they are a warm and professional couple. They have extensive knowledge of how pilates can help support core strength and historic / current injuries and they have been invaluable in helping me stay strong. I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking about pilates and am ever grateful to them both for their amazing online classes throughout lockdown.
