Students Testimonials

I had a truly wonderful experience during the Bx Studio Reformer Instructor Certification training. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with Gasia and the other instructors on a personal level.

Gasia made us feel welcomed from the very beginning—her deep knowledge of the industry and her dedication to our learning stood out. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure we understood the material, and I never once felt shy or intimidated to ask questions.

Eleni K

What an incredible experience! Gasia is such a gem—so knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely passionate. She created such a safe and empowering space to learn, grow, and challenge ourselves.One of the things I loved most was getting to explore classical Reformer Pilates in depth. It was amazing to break down each movement, understand the “why” behind it, and really feel the intention in my body. And honestly, the cherry on top was the amazing group of women I got to meet along the way. We laughed, supported each other, and shared this beautiful journey together. I feel so lucky to have learned alongside such inspiring souls. I’m walking away feeling confident, empowered, and so ready to bring this energy into my classes. If you’re thinking about doing a certification—this is your sign!

Hannah O

The Bx Studio Reformer Pilates Certification exceeded all of my expectations. Each module was thoughtfully designed—starting with strong foundations in Pilates history, anatomy, and classical principles, and building up to more advanced work. Every exercise was demonstrated and practiced with the other instructors, which helped me really understand the movements and how to teach them.Gasia is not only an amazing instructor but also a truly dedicated teacher—patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about helping each student succeed. Her attention to detail and constant encouragement made everything easy to understand, which gave me confidence both as a student and as a new instructor. This certification gave me a solid foundation, and I’ve been able to bring that knowledge directly into my teaching.

Rita S

My reformer Pilates instructor training at Bx Studio was an amazing experience that strengthened my skills, deepened my knowledge, and fueled my passion for helping others move with strength and balance.

Thank you Gasia for continuously being an incredible mentor!

Stephanie R

I loved my Pilates Reformer instructor training at Bx Studio. Gasia is incredibly knowledgeable and delivered a truly comprehensive program. We broke down every move, variation and adaptation (including prenatal/postnatal and injury-friendly) and even got into the advanced repertoire. The mix of theory, lots of hands-on practice, demos and super helpful video resources was great and weekend studio access to practice with friends/family was a huge bonus. Observing classes all winter and seeing different teachers and class plans was invaluable, and I finished feeling confident teaching across many levels. The cohort was fun and supportive, and we're all so well equipped now. If you’re hesitating, this is your sign; do it!
