I'm writing on behalf of my wife, because she told me, "I'm not very good at this type of thing - you do it"

Alright, what can I say? In the ten plus years I've known my wife, she has literally never been into exercising. In any way. At all. In any form. I just want to stress this point - that she really hated working out. I got her to go running with me once. It was... interesting.

Since she's started reformer Pilates at Circle Studio, she loves exercising. Specifically she loves reformer Pilates at Circle Studio. Literally, her Tiktok algorithm has changed where it's like a third Pilates content now. She talks about Pilates a lot, which is great, because people we've known for years are always like, "huh, wait - you work out? You?!" Which really never gets old.

My wife also talks about Bridgette a lot. All good things, except when there's a workout that involves weights (Inside joke, it really is only positive things). I've only met Bridgette once, but I feel like I know her fairly well now because, you know, my wife talks about Bridgette and Pilates so much. She also has Pilates friends now - I've never met them, but they seem nice?

Another thing, in the ten plus years I've known my wife, she is not a morning person. Pre-kids if she was up on a weekend before 11, it was early. Even post kids, but pre-Pilates, her favourite thing to do would be to sleep. Not anymore apparently. Now she gets up for a 6:00am class. Which means she's waking up at like 5:20am to get ready, and drive to Pilates. Never in a million years would I have ever, ever, ever, predicted that my wife would become a morning person - much less a morning workout person.

Anyways, that's my long winded way of saying if you're looking to get into Pilates, or looking for a new Pilates Studio, Circle Studio is an amazing choice. If Bridgette can get my wife to work out, wake up earlier, and just be healthier, then I am highly confident she can do it for anyone!

Husbands, if you're looking to get into Pilates with your wife, I'll just warn you - it's really hard. I did it once. I was sore for a long time. If your wife is looking to get into Pilates, it's amazing, you should definitely support them - just be warned they might complain a bit more about "being sore", and demand massages.

Anyways... 5/5 stars

Sincerely, Justine's husband

Typically I’m not one to love exercising but I can honestly say I’m loving Pilates more each session and now after three months in, I can’t wait until my next class!

Brigitte is an exceptional instructor. It’s so evident that she puts her whole heart into teaching and cares so deeply for everyone who attends her classes. She’s brilliant at giving modifications for my recovering shoulder while still ensuring that I am challenged and supported. She makes each class so much fun with her welcoming personality and fun stories. I just love being in the studio.

I’m so grateful to be part of the Circle Studio community and can’t recommend it enough!

I’ve been going to Circle Studio for a few months now, and it has truly become one of my favourite parts of the week! From the moment you drive up to the studio, the environment feels so warm and welcoming. It’s a space where you instantly feel comfortable and supported.

Brigitte is such an incredible instructor! She always brings the best energy into every class. You can tell she genuinely cares about her students. She’s constantly thinking about us, offering thoughtful cues, modifications, and encouragement to make sure everyone feels confident and challenged at the same time.

The reformer Pilates classes have made such a difference for me. I feel stronger, more stable, and so much more confident with my balance. It’s amazing to notice the progress after just a few months.

I’m so grateful to be part of the Circle Studio community and can’t recommend it enough to anyone looking for a positive, empowering place to move and grow.

I’ve been going to Circle Studio for quite a few months now, and I have been loving my experience there! Pilates has made my body feel strong and balanced. I am loving the core strength it provides and challenges me in ways that I have never experienced in a good way! It also complements the weight training I do outside class and fits perfectly with the life phase I’m in. Brigitte has created such a kind and welcoming environment. It feels like stepping into a cozy cabin where you instantly feel at ease. The variety in her classes keeps things engaging for every level, and the community she’s fostered is truly special. I’m so grateful to be part of it!

Thank you Brigitte!

Sincerely,

Laura Cicchini

I was looking to add something new and different to my exercise routine, so I was thrilled when a friend who attends Brigitte’s classes mentioned there was an open spot on the Reformer in her class. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but I absolutely loved it. Not only was it an incredible workout, but the beautiful studio space, the serene property, and the welcoming group atmosphere made the entire experience exceptional. Brigitte is truly skilled at what she does—she makes each class engaging, enjoyable, and, most importantly, supportive.

I’ve always liked the idea of Pilates, but aside from taking a course in my 20’s, I haven’t been able to find the right environment for me. Brigitte and her Circle Studio have changed that. Brigitte is welcoming, and the space is warm and inviting. The Reforner provides an intense core workout that aligns perfectly with my fitness goals; and Brigitte offers excellent instruction and ongoing guidance. But equally important, she makes the classes fun. Brigitte is our cheerleader and has created a supportive community with no pressure and no judgement.

I’ve been doing classes with Brigitte at Circle Studio for quite a while now. A year ago when she mentioned she was bringing Reformer Pilates to her line up, I was all in to try it. I’ve been hooked from the very first class. A year later it’s one workout I always look forward to and that my body craves if I miss. Brigitte is very helpful and informative. If you need modifications she’s on it. I have not done the same class twice. Her creativity blows my mind. Reformer Pilates is appropriately challenging. Humbling and a lot of fun. I always feel great after a class. Calm, long and empowered. The Studio is very welcoming and is a great community of women that are inspiring. You feel calm upon entering the property and then even more so when you walk into the class space. Brigitte always makes time to listen to her clients and shows a genuine interest in our day to day. If you’re thinking of trying a class and are curious about reformer Pilates, TRY IT! You won’t regret it!

Circle Studio Pilates has honestly been one of the best things I’ve done for myself. I’ve been going to the 5am class with Brigitte since September 2025, and it truly sets the tone for my entire day. Brigitte is such a bright light — motivating, uplifting, and genuinely caring.

I’ve never experienced a core workout like Pilates before. Every class challenges me in the best way, and there’s always something new to try — new moves, new combinations, and different resistance colours to progress and improve.

The community is also such a bonus. The women are a breath of fresh air — sharing mom life, local shop recommendations, and even new shows to watch. Brigitte is always checking in and you can tell she truly cares about the people who walk through her doors. Highly recommend Circle Studio Pilates!

Reformer pilates at Circle Studio has been such a rewarding experience! Brigitte has created a warm, welcoming and supportive group environment while ensuring individualized guidance. She is always a breath of fresh air every morning. I continue to feel encouraged, challenged and reconnected to my body during class.

Pilates has became an essential part of my daily routine and has benefited my mental and physical wellbeing. The group sessions have also given me support, confidence, connections and new friendships. ❤️

I leave each class feeling uplifted and energized and it is truly the best way to start each day. 😁

I started reformer Pilates at Circle Studio when I was 8 months postpartum after my second baby. After my first class, I left feeling energized and invigorated. I have been consistently doing Pilates for 6 months now, and the changes in my mental and physical health are incredible. Brigitte has created a fun, positive and uplifting experience at Circle Studio. Every class is a new challenge, and she does such a great job of keeping the class engaging, providing adaptations and ultimately, encouraging all members in the class. I feel comfortable and confident in class. Lastly, consistent Pilates practice has helped me stay motivated to other training goals, has helped me increase my strength and flexibility, and has eliminated chronic lower back pain. I cannot say enough good things! 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a fun, challenging workout offered in a welcoming space!
