Class format

Private, duo or trio: never a crowd

In big studios an instructor tries to watch 10–15 people at once. With us there are never more than 3 people in a class, so your posture, your breathing and the way you perform each movement are followed at all times.

Private

The class is built entirely around you. The best place to start if you are new, have a specific goal or need to protect a sensitive area.

Duo

In the same class with a friend, your partner or your mother. You motivate each other, and the instructor watches both of you closely.

Trio

The busiest class at the studio has 3 people. There is group energy, but nobody gets lost in a crowd.

Student reviews

In our students' words

From the reviews our students left for Studio 4 Pilates on Google (translated from Turkish).

  • Since starting pilates with Nazlı, I've felt a real difference, especially in my posture and back pain. The way she adapts each movement to everyone's level and corrects us one by one when we get it wrong is invaluable. I leave every class refreshed, both physically and mentally.

    Ayşe K.Google review · translated from Turkish

  • I had been to several pilates studios before, but Nazlı's teaching is truly different. I love how she explains which muscle group each movement works and keeps an eye on us so we do the movements correctly.

    Merve Y.Google review · translated from Turkish

  • After years of desk work I had serious tension in my back and neck. Thanks to the programme Nazlı put together, my flexibility has improved and I feel much more comfortable in everyday life.

    Elif D.Google review · translated from Turkish

  • I was a complete beginner and thought I wouldn't be able to do the movements. Nazlı patiently taught each one step by step, and now I can't wait for my classes.

    Zeynep A.Google review · translated from Turkish

  • What I like most about Nazlı is that she doesn't give everyone the same programme. Throughout the class she keeps checking our posture, our breathing and whether we're doing the movements correctly, which makes me feel safe.

    Derya T.Google review · translated from Turkish

  • Since I started doing pilates regularly I've felt stronger, especially in my core and back. Nazlı is both motivating and disciplined, and she really makes sure every class is productive.

    Burcu E.Google review · translated from Turkish

  • I was a little nervous before my first class, but thanks to Nazlı's warm and attentive approach I settled in right away. I love that each class focuses on different muscle groups and that the movements progress in a controlled way.

    Sibel M.Google review · translated from Turkish

  • I started pilates to gain flexibility and strengthen my body, and I've progressed far more than I expected. Rather than having us repeat movements by rote, Nazlı focuses on technique and gives every student individual attention.

    Cansu B.Google review · translated from Turkish

  • The pace of the classes is just right: you feel you're working and you learn the movements with the right technique. Thanks to Nazlı's energy and attention to detail, pilates has become an essential part of my weekly routine.

    Gözde Ç.Google review · translated from Turkish

  • I started pilates mainly because of weakness around my lower back and hips. With Nazlı's personal guidance I learned to do the movements with more control, and over time I began to notice the progress in my body.

    Ece Ş.Google review · translated from Turkish

  • Nazlı doesn't just demonstrate the movements and move on; she follows each student's progress. Her attention to many small details, from breath control to spinal position, raises the quality of the classes.

    İrem G.Google review · translated from Turkish

  • I started to get away from a busy work schedule and to make time for myself. Nazlı's positive energy, clear explanations and exercises tailored to each person keep me motivated to continue.

    Melis Ö.Google review · translated from Turkish

  • I think a big advantage is that everyone gets individual attention even in group classes. When I do a movement wrong she notices immediately and guides me into the right position, so I can work without worrying about getting injured.

    Pınar C.Google review · translated from Turkish

  • Since starting pilates I've noticed positive changes not only physically but also in my daily energy. Nazlı's disciplined yet never overwhelming way of working is really effective.

    Buse R.Google review · translated from Turkish

  • The equipment used in class, the variety of exercises and the instructor's individual attention are excellent. In every class Nazlı adjusts the level of the movements to what we need and follows our progress.
