Samata Pilates Heckmondwike

I’ve been attending Samata since it opened & it has truly been an amazing journey. When I joined I was in a place where my weight loss journey felt up & down. But Samata has helped me stay consistent & fall back in love with exercise. Before Samata I was fixated on weight loss & would get frustrated with myself for not seeing results as quickly as social media makes it seem. I don’t know how but Samata has completely shifted my mindset. I no longer chase numbers on the scale. I’ve learned to appreciate my body instead & genuinely love the movement. Every instructor brings their own unique style, and I honestly love them all! Every class is amazing & it would be hard to choose just one as a favourite! (Wish I could do all the different mat & reformer classes every week lol) Samata isn’t just a studio. I feel like it attracts like-minded ppl who share its values & it has a real community feel . It’s become a safe space for me to reconnect with my body, really switch off & unwind from the hectic-ness of life.

I had the opportunity to try a Reformer Pilates class this evening at Samata Pilates, and I was pleasantly surprised by the burn I felt throughout the session. Chelsea was an amazing instructor—welcoming from the moment I walked in and fantastic at explaining the techniques clearly. The studio has a modern yet inviting feel, with thoughtful touches like complimentary fruit and water for clients. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Did my first class at this studio today. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, and the instructor was both knowledgeable and approachable. I felt completely at ease, even as a beginner. The session was well-paced with clear guidance throughout, and it was easy to follow while still feeling like a great workout. I had a lot of fun.

It’s sound cliche but Samata has changed my life. I attend on average 2 classes per week starting with Mat and then now adding a reformer. I was in a bit of rut 6 months post partum with chronic back ache which I thought was from my epidural. Upon reflection it was just having a weak core post baby. Pilates has allowed me to not only shift my back ache but also helped me get to my pre baby weight. I feel stronger and more flexible than ever before. Going to Samata gave me a safe space with great instructors to start my Pilates journey. I never felt I couldn’t ask a question and always have options which was great at first when I was just learning but now I am able to challenge myself with the harder options. Samata teaches you core values of Pilates but also is such a welcoming judgement free space. I feel blessed to have this gem just down the road.

I've been wanting to try reformer pilates for a while now and I finally managed to go today! Being a beginner with no experience i was very hesitent at first but the instructor was great! She explained everything in great detail including how to use the reformer machine. I thoroughly enjoyed the workout and I look forward to booking my next session soon.
