Straight Up Pilates

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Pilates classes with Shayna for over 10 years. Shayna is an excellent instructor, she is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Over the years, if I developed an injury or pain leading up to Pilates day, I didn't skip a class because I knew that she would work within my capabilities and often provide stretches to fix whatever I had done. Thank you Shayna.

I feel the foundation she has given me in Pilates will serve me well for years to come.

Fantastic experience: Shayne is an exceptional instructor. I joined her Pilates classes 6 years ago, after a serious accident. My body, health and mind are all the better for it. I regard Shayna highly, for her professionalism, her dedication to Pilates and her clients. Shayna had our wellbeing as her highest priority. Thank you for taking care of us!

Fantastic experience: I have been with Shayna at Straight Up Pilates for over 11 years. She is unique, in that she is pilates trained and has obviously worked hard to know her physiology and theory so she can support each individual client. She will research solutions to problems for us and give guidance. Her instruction is clear and her attention to detail means we do things right! When I started with Shayna I was reliant on painkillers to do many everyday things. Her professional approach and in depth knowledge has meant I no longer need medication for pain management. The standard Shayna sets is second to none.

Fantastic experience: Shayna is extremely knowledgeable about Pilates and the best way to move your body. I attended her studio at least once a week for two years and found it extremely helpful for strengthening muscles and lessening lower back pain. I would recommend Shayna’s class to anyone interested in improving their flexibility and general fitness.

Fantastic experience: I have been doing regular classes with Shayna for over 10 years. I initially wanted to improve my core strength and fitness but once diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that targets the spine I have continued classes to retain core stability, strength and mobility. Shayna has adjusted exercises to suit my abilities and health limitations. Her focus on technique has given me an excellent foundation to work with as I try to find another Pilates studio that suits my needs. Even during the Covid lockdown Shayna posted classes on YouTube for us so that we could continue our classes. Shayna is thorough, professional, reliable and effective. Shayna’s studio has been like a second home and I will surely miss it.

Fantastic experience: I have been with Straight up Pilates for several years now. I have no complaints regarding our Pilates instructor Shayna. She has always been gone out of her way to accommodate my erratic work schedule. Shes the best!♡

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Straight Up Pilates for 3 years. Wow Shayna is fantastic understands injuries and gives advice alternative exercises to do. Body movement everything has important 100percent. Thank you best Pilates class.

Fantastic experience: Shayna is an amazing Pilates instructor. I’ve been attending her classes weekly for over 10 years, and her knowledge, skill and dedication are second to none. She is incredibly reliable—always turning up, even when she’s not feeling 100%—and she brings so much experience and professionalism to every class. One of the things I’ve always appreciated about Shayna is her focus on proper technique. She doesn’t just guide you through exercises; she ensures you’re doing them correctly to avoid injury and to get the most benefit. She’s constantly investing in her own professional development, taking courses and upskilling to stay at the top of her game. She truly walks the talk—she looks fantastic and is living proof of the benefits of her practice. Her studio was always immaculate, with top-quality, well-maintained equipment, creating a welcoming and professional environment. It’s devastating that she has to close her studio due to the building being repurposed. I will miss her classes very much and I know I’m not alone in feeling that no one else will compare. If Shayna moves into a new career, I have no doubt she will bring the same passion, expertise and dedication that made her such an incredible Pilates instructor. Anyone who gets the chance to learn from or work with her in the future will be extremely lucky.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Shayna at Straight Up Pilates for almost 10 years now, and her expertise continues to impress me. Shayna’s attention to detail and adaptability are exceptional. She can identify and correct even the smallest misalignments, ensuring each movement is executed with precision. What truly sets her apart is her ability to adapt classes and exercises to meet individual needs. Shayna tailors each session to challenge you while always respecting your limits. Her deep knowledge of anatomy, combined with her ongoing desire to learn and expand her knowledge, keeps her miles ahead of the competition.

Negative experience: Today I contacted this Pilates studio via phone number I am not sure of the lady’s name who I spoke to but I am assuming she is the owner I informed her that I was looking for a job in the fitness industry however the only qualification I had was a cert lll in fitness, the lady asked me if I had ever been to a Pilates class and I said no she then laughed at me and told me that I would never get a job in the fitness industry I would never recommend this lady to anyone who is new to Pilates as she is extremely rude and doesn’t care about her clients

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love it. Very knowledgeable and friendly teacher. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Great activity to keep you active. Enjoy the results
