Testimonials

Working with Murielle changed my life. Through the specific exercises she gave me, I have been able to significantly strengthen my core and have noticed a major reduction in pain episodes. Her expert knowledge of the musculo-skeletal system means she can really target the right areas. She is a pleasure to work with – she never let me cheat and has a wicked sense of humour. I wish I could see her every day!

Working at The Garage Studio is the best fun (and hard work) ever! Flexibility and core strength; listening to your body; doing only what your body can do, but always checking just in case it can do a little bit more! Murielle's knowledge of the musculoskeletal system and skill as a Pilates teacher plus familiarity with injuries and conditions is second to none. Kindness and laughter prevail at The Garage Studio.
Gilly Best
Murielle’s knowledge of the musculoskeletal system and skill as a Pilates teacher along with her familiarity with all manner of injuries and conditions is second to none. I have a scoliosis and Murielle’s classes have simply been a life saver for my back, such that I rarely have pain now. The Garage Studio provides a spacious and pleasant environment for her excellent classes.
Carolyn Dalal
I have been to the Garage Studio since they started in Barnes in 1999. Murielle's approach to functional Pilates is very much part of my life and helps me manage my occasionally painful back. I hadn’t experienced such attention to detail and people’s individual needs in any type of exercise class before. It’s fun too – I wouldn’t miss my Wednesday morning session for the world.
Helen Bantock
I have been taking Pilates lessons with The Garage Studio for 16 years. Murielle is highly trained and knowledgeable and her teaching style is totally professional. Murielle is so helpful when people have an injury or problem and always follows through with suggestions and action. She has helped me a great deal recently through a bad back problem. Murielle also makes classes a lot of fun and arranges extra activities such as Christmas dinners, French dinners and City walks. I have made lots of friends through my Pilates group! Class times can be flexible too which is helpful if you have a busy schedule. The Garage Studio is a lovely place to take lessons. Bright, white and spacious. Really I could not recommend Murielle and her Pilates classes more highly. She is a lovely person. 5 stars plus plus!
Diana Midmer
Pilates at The Garage Studio is a personal experience and group experience at the same time. Murielle always take time out with each class member. Her style is fun and focussed all at the same time.
Sally Graham
I am new to Pilates and although I found the class difficult at first Murielle's expert instruction, dedication and care have given me increasing confidence week by week. The Garage Studio is a pleasant and relaxing environment
Victoria Davey
The Garage Studio is a perfect space, light and airy and plenty of room whilst being quite private. The small class sizes mean you get almost 1:1 tuition whilst enjoying the company of others. Murielle is extremely knowledgeable and guides you carefully though the movements. You always feel very supported and able to progress at your own pace. Highly recommended!
Karen Segal
The Pilates classes at the Garage Studio are excellent. Murielle is an inspired teacher and keeps classes interesting and they stretch us to and beyond the limit we may set ourselves. I started the class after a hip replacement and it has made a huge difference to my posture and mobility. Murielle focuses on areas such as balance and posture that many other instructors do not do. There are sessions at a good variety of times during the week and one is able to swap if required. She also organises other events such as French dinners which are great fun and the Garage community are a great bunch of people.
Annabel Gaastra
I am a 73 year old man and have been going to Murielle's classes for the last 3 years. I have benefited enormously from her expert tuition . I had been having problems with my lower back and knees : I rarely experience those now. The classes , which are conducted in a light, airy space , are focused and conducted in a friendly atmosphere. Murielle is always aware of any individual problems and will advise accordingly. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Walter Demel
Murielle is a brilliant teacher. Before I joined the classes I regularly suffered from episodes of lower back pain due to poor abdominal strength. With her guidance, encouragement and support my body is getting stronger and I almost never get the back pain now. And my general posture and movement are so much better too. She carefully watches and coaches each individual in the class on how to adapt the exercises to their own circumstances. The classes are the best of both worlds – you get the fun and support of being in a group but also the feeling that you are getting 1-to-1 attention when you need it.
Jo Western
After my injury last year a few of my friends thoroughly recommended me to go to Pilates at The Garage Studio. I haven’t regretted a day as I like the idea that you really have to know what you are doing and understand your body before you move up to the next level. Murielle is great at explaining how to do understand your body and the different movements we have to do. My back problems are now fine and I enjoy going to Pilates every week. It’s a very friendly place and I like the venue.
Katarina Bateson
Murielle is an excellent Pilates teacher. I have been attending her classes at the Garage Studio for over 10 years. My posture has greatly improved and I no longer get pain in my neck or lower back. Murielle is highly qualified and has a deep understanding of physiology. She takes the time to get to know and support her clients according to their individual needs.
Josephine Lalwan
I have had significant issues with slipped discs in my back and suffered back pain for a few years. I started in The Garage Studio's beginner pilates class last Autumn, and my back pain has now all but disappeared! Murielle has an excellent way with words and has enabled me to visualise and reconnect with muscles I didn't even know I had. I have never been to a pilates class where I have received such clear instruction. My body awareness has improved massively. Her classes are varied, and take place in the lovely light garage studio and she takes time to correct posture individually throughout the class. Thank you very much, Murielle!
Lucy Mayfield
I've been doing pilates at The Garage Studio for over 10 years and also have done a couple of Murielle's posture workshops and I highly recommend her. She is a totally dedicated and professional teacher who pays attention to the fine detail which I like. She keeps a check on everyone and their individual needs and she really understands the working of the body. Her classes are enjoyable, fun and varied and the working space is comfortable and not too crowded. She's really helped me with my overall posture and neck stiffness.
Nicky Dyer

The Garage Studio’s Pilates classes are fantastic. I have made great progress with a shoulder injury [Murielle was recommended to me as the person to see for this] although I have benefitted in so many more ways. Increased strength and stamina aside, I have gained a much better understanding of the how my body works, improved posture and a more mindful way of moving to prevent further injury. She is a brilliant instructor and the classes are varied, fun and rewarding.
Emma Allan
Murielle is extremely welcoming from the minute you first meet her making for a very personal touch that is not present at many other group classes I have attended. She tailors the work within the class to keep you moving forward but with individual attention for those with particular injuries or illness. After a class with Murielle I feel physically stronger with a head clear from any worries of the day. I can't recommend it more.
Joanne Hulf
I've been attending The Garage Studio's classes for about ten years. Murielle combines great (and often individual) support with continuing challenge. She's well qualified, up to date, and enthusiastic. I thoroughly recommend her.
Ann Orton
It’s hard to describe just how much I rely on Murielle to stay fit, flexible, mobile and healthy. I could never move out of the area as I couldn’t imagine life without her. She has an incredible ability to teach each client as an individual and tailor exercises accordingly even though we are in a class situation. Murielle makes it a priority to keep training herself so that we, the clients, get to benefit from the newest thinking in Pilates and yoga techniques. And on top of all the physical benefits of her brilliant classes, we have a great time; Wednesday morning is a highlight of the week. It’s an immensely supportive environment and the Garage Studio is a lovely bright space to work out in.
Carolyn Ware
Murielle is warm and enthusiastic and her classes are fun! But more importantly she is able to identify the specific exercises that will really improve my shoulder and neck problem and her advice and support has really helped my condition. I walk taller and feel freer after each class.
Sheila Treadaway
Yoga is the perfect complement to rowing. By stretching, strengthening the core and working on balance, I now have a much better posture in my boat. I just wish I had started 20 years ago and avoided the lower back pain that brought me to Murielle in the first place!
Sophia Supple
This is a lovely Yoga class if you want to improve your strength, flexibility, balance and alignment. It’s quite challenging, both physically and mentally, but in a progressive way – coming late to yoga I have been surprised by what I’ve been able to achieve over time. The rhythm of the class is just right, lively enough to be enjoyably fluid but never rushed – Murielle, whose knowledge of anatomy is second to none, makes sure you understand exactly what you’re aiming at with each posture and allows time for you to get it right. No two classes are ever quite the same – the constant variety means you can never get bored or complacent – but somehow, at the end of every session, you feel your whole body is properly awake. Highly recommended.
