Bamboo Fitness

Great 1:1 sessions at Bamboo Fitness with Brigitte. Sessions on the Cadillac and reformer to strengthen the body. Such a cool studio in Crystal Palace with good quality Stott Pilates Equipment. Looking forward to doing the walkover again.

I stared reformer Pilates at the beginning of 2017 after suffering from sciatica as a result of a disc herniation, which had caused me great discomfort and server pain for over a year. I have cortisone injections and was going to be referred for surgery, which was not the course of action I wanted to follow. I heard of Bamboo Fitness and thought I would try it out and see what happens. I had a course of 5 private sessions with Bridgette before going into the group reformer classes, which I love!! All the teachers are amazing and really helpful. When I started I could barely touch my toes but within 3 months I was pain-free able to and by April I was back starting to be able to do other exercise and running which I hadn’t done for well over a year. I love Pilates and it has now become part of my weekly routine, I have also attended a number of the workshops that they put on to improve my technic and learn more about Pilates. I am now actually thinking of training with Bridgette to become a Pilates instructor which I was due to start at Christmas but with just finding out I am pregnant will now need to wait. The pregnancy Pilates is great and means I can keep on practicing and the teachers are all very helpful at adapting the classes so that I can still take part. I can truly say that practicing Pilates at Bamboo Fitness has changed my life, health and relationship with my body. Thank you, Brig and Pete for creating such a wonderfully nurturing place to practice.

I have been going to classes at Bamboo Fitness for two years and my posture has improved massively. The teachers are of high quality and always take the time to understand your personal needs. It's a very friendly place , where I have met some lovely people . I would highly recommend.

Loved my first Reformer Flow session today! Definitely a good progression from the beginner level classes which have been fantastic as well!! Really high quality teaching and loads of classes on offer, this place is genuinely amazing!

I've been a Bamboo Fitness regular for 8 months now. If you want friendly, highly qualified, expert advice and guidance on yoga and pilates, with classes in small groups held in clean, well equipment studios, and in a calm, non-judgemental environment, that sums up Bamboo Fitness. I've returned to competitive swimming after a 28 year break, and they've helped me improve my posture; improve core strength; and to stay injury free. If you can, I highly recommend a course of private sessions with Brigette or Kelly - expert focus; no time wasting; understand your abilities and tailor sessions according to what you are capable of doing / want to achieve. (I also found doing privates helped me make the most of the classes.)

The only place to get fit! Highly qualified and passionate teachers in lovely, clean bright studio spaces. A little treasure hidden away in Crystal Palace, am so happy I found this little haven of health and happiness!

I have been going to Bamboo for the past 6 months and for the first time have found going to exercise really enjoyable! Bridget, Pete and Kelly are all great, they make you feel really welcome and encouraging!

After a lazy summer, I intend to get back to Yoga and Pilates using my wonderful birthday gift: A bamboo gift voucher,from my friends. It's a fantastic gift for those wanting to try out the various Bamboo fitness classes.See you next week!

I have been doing Pilates with Kelly Balmer for 5 years. She helped me after the birth of my first child to regain my core strength and also has improved my posture. Here knowledge of complimentary therapies and nutrition add to a well rounded service.

Have to say big thank you to Bamboo Fitness. Have been going since January & use Pilates principles in my daily life. Shoulders down. Standing tall. People comment all the time about how different & slim I look. Thanks to Pete & Brig. I feel great.

This Little hidden Gem in Crystal Palace is a fantastic fitness Boutique style studio . The layout is light, airy, clean and has a warm atmospheric feel about it. The instructors are highly skilled, attentive, personable and most importantly its never overcrowded like your average gym...... Sotherfore your ensured to have more of a one on one experience.

I hadn't done neither yoga nor pilates before I started going to classes at Bamboo Fitness, but ever since I've been coming regularly, and now I definitely couldn't do without it! Kelly, Brig and Pete are very skilled instructors, who have helped me improve by every single class! At the same time there is also a very personal atmosphere with time for a chat after classes, and they are paying attention to every individual coming at the studio.
