Jane

“I’ve been doing Reformer classes at Mycore since it opened. I started Pilates to help with my scoliosis, strengthen my core, improve my posture, and wanted a form of exercise that would support my body rather than strain it. I chose Mycore because of Sarah.  I trust her expertise. The studio also has a wonderful community and a welcoming atmosphere, which makes it a joy to attend.

My posture has improved significantly. I feel stronger, more flexible, and more in control of my body.

Pilates helps me in many ways, beyond the physical benefits, it has helped me build friendships, stay disciplined, and feel part of a supportive and inclusive environment. It’s also a great way to relieve stress  

I would recommend Mycore Pilates to absolutely anyone, no matter their age or fitness level. It’s an inclusive and welcoming practice with incredible health benefits for both the body and mind.”

Brian

I first took up Pilates on the advice of my physiotherapist after a back operation. He told me that strengthening my core would be key to improving my back —and he was absolutely right. What started as part of my recovery quickly became an essential part of my fitness routine.

Since joining Mycore four years ago, I’ve seen incredible results. Not only do I feel stronger overall, but I’ve also noticed improvements in my flexibility and posture. And, to my surprise, Pilates has even enhanced my running! I challenge myself to run a half marathon every year, and after focusing on Pilates post-surgery, I managed to complete my race 10 minutes faster than the previous year—breaking the two-hour mark for the first time in years!

What sets Mycore apart for me is the personalised attention in their group Reformer classes. Even when in a group, the instructors make sure you get individual guidance and corrections, which has been invaluable. I’ve tried other studios where classes felt more like boot camps, with little personal feedback—but at Mycore, you truly feel supported.

Beyond the physical benefits, Pilates has helped me avoid injuries in the sports I love—running, squash, and golf. It has become the ‘core’ of all my training, helping me stay active and injury-free.

I’d recommend Mycore to anyone looking to feel stronger, more flexible, and healthier—whether you’re recovering from an injury, training for a sport, or just wanting to move better in everyday life.

Stephanie

I started attending mat classes at Mycore two years ago on the recommendation of my physiotherapist. My husband was already benefiting from Pilates at Mycore.

Before joining the group class, I had a couple of one to one sessions with Harriet, and from the moment I stepped into the studio, I felt completely welcomed and in great hands. The studio itself is a calm, friendly, and expert-led space—not too big, but just right for a truly personal experience.

I genuinely look forward to my class every week. The sessions with Hannah are always thoughtfully guided, and she takes the time to check in with everyone, ensuring we feel safe and supported. The small class sizes mean she’s aware of any injuries or concerns, and I always leave feeling better—stronger, more aware of my movements, and with a real sense of progress.

Pilates at Mycore has not only improved my physical strength but has also become a very important part of my overall well-being. The whole team is experienced, caring, and welcoming.  I would highly recommend Mycore to anyone looking to move better, feel stronger, and enjoy expert guidance in a truly supportive environment.

Laila

“I decided to embrace Pilates a year ago and commit to going every week to a reformer class. Being a running and fitness enthusiast - but always suffering with shin splints, knee aches and shoulder pain - I knew it was time to start looking for something that was kinder to my body…. (but still a challenge).

One year on I could not live without Pilates. I have not had one fitness injury and feel so much better with the help of Mycore. Thank you”

Marcia

“I now cannot imagine a week without MyCore Pilates. I feel revived rejuvenated and strong after every session.  I literally bounce out the building.  My Core Pilates have the most exceptional talented team of professional motivated  instructors. If you are thinking about the best Pilates experience My Core Pilates has it.”

Paul

“While struggling to recover from a back injury, I tried various things in the hope it would help before attending my first Pilates class. I could barely get on the reformer at that point. Through Pilates though, I realised very quickly that my back wasn’t the root problem but simply a single point of failure from years of not moving properly. I needed to relearn how to move. MyCore gave me what others did not. MyCore has taken me back to basics and is helping me build the strength and functionality I need from the ground up.”

Sally

Mycore is tucked away in a super quiet location in central Hitchin so is really convenient, but a sense of calm awaits just moments away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Even more impressive is the kind, empathic atmosphere which seems to be a constant at Mycore.

An ultra friendly, relaxed and totally inclusive environment for group and if needed individual practice, this  sense of inclusivity and friendliness  seems to be reflected in the class members and general in- class vibe.

The atmosphere and level of teaching is deeply supportive and non-judgemental at all times.

Having spent over two years as a member I really feel a sense of a more holistic approach to my practice and a gradual strengthening of both body and mind class by class. All the teachers are passionate about pilates and incredibly gifted practitioners. Mycore is more than a pilates studio for me now it is a way of life and I love being a member of the Mycore family

Mike

After 3 big ops and chemo…Pilates has been a life-saver in my efforts to recover, and I’m very grateful for all your support.

Chris

I've been going to wonderful Mycore Pilates Studio for years! I attend both mat and reformer classes.

The care, warmth, and expertise, that Sarah and her team offer, not only keeps my body and spirit healthy but makes me happy. I'm in my 70s and owe my strength, flexibility, and  recovery from injuries, to making pilates a part of my life. The full programme of classes, and the easy- to-use App, means I can choose times and dates to suit me each week. 

I've made some lovely friends and had great fun in the sessions. I can't recommend Mycore enough.

Danuta

“I am close to 84 years old. I did many years of Pilates in Scotland and when I moved here I joined another studio but eventually got bored.

What I love about Mycore is the variety of exercises that Sarah does with us. No time to get bored! The zoom classes are perfect for older folk as they don’t have to hurry out in Winter. I now do a class twice a week - Mondays and Wednesdays. By the time Monday comes around I’m feeling the need to move so I reckon they are doing me good!”

Sue

“Mycore Pilates is absolutely the best place to go for Reformer classes and Mat Pilates. Sarah is so committed, as are all the teachers.

Harriet too is totally amazing. Their classes are powerful workouts but with lots of individual help and guided adjustments, and it’s all fun!”

Kate

“As a member for over 10 years, I can't recommend MyCore Pilates highly enough. The classes are friendly and fun, but most importantly I completely trust the expertise of the teachers to ensure safe classes, catering for any injuries or limitations the clients may have. I always leave a class feeling so much better than when I went in!”
