Yogavenue - Gym in Oxford, United Kingdom

Darcie is a really fantastic Reformer Pilates instructor. Her classes are well‑structured, clear, and engaging, and she always provides helpful and tailored guidance throughout the session, catering for attendees at higher or lower levels of expertise. I've genuinely enjoyed training with Darcie and would definitely recommend her to others!

A fantastic place - great for beginners. A great way to get an introduction to lots of different types of yoga. I had a wonderful experience being a beginner, especially in their hot yoga class. There's a huge range of instructors who all bring something unique to their classes. Always felt really safe - all the instructors give great personalised advice throughout the class and even before you get in the room (especially when it's your first time to a particular class). Even if it's a tough class, it's always really enjoyable.

I'll start with the positives because there are many! I signed up for an intro offer and the 2 classes I've attended with Sulgi and Alesandro were amazing! I've had a lot of back stiffness from my job and the hot flow yoga really helped. Sulgi spoke to me after the class to see how I found it and she was incredibly lovely and friendly. On the less positive side, I attended a class Saturday morning 25/04/26 and on entering was told rather sternly by the lady behind the computer that that I'd arrived too early. The class was 9.15 and I arrived about 8.56/8.57. I wasn't aware that I shouldn't turn up quite as early as I did but I apologised, it was my first early session with YogaVenue and that was my mistake. However I didn't get a hello, just a stern talking to. After apologising she just asked what class I was here for and then didn't say anything further. As I was waiting to enter the studio I noticed that I was being stared at, quite a lot by the lady who was behind the computer. I smiled but she continued on and off until I was in the studio. I can say that my smile back was not reciprocated. I found this behaviour so strange and a bit sad to be honest, I am sad that it felt I received a bit of an attitude and also that I apologised and I did not go out of my way to inconvenience anyone. I smiled as I left and received a very insincere smile back. It would be absolutely lovely if people could lift each other up but I didn't feel this from this particular individual. I'll chalk it up to potentially just thinking I was a massive pain, but I'm afraid I won't be back even as it leaves me slightly out of the pocket for the classes I've paid for. I do not wish to feel like I'm trying to be intimidated whilst waiting. I was going to purchase a monthly membership as the frequency of classes and times really suits my shift work which is not always easy to come by. All in all, a lovely venue with top tier instructors (the ones I had) Alessandro's energy was high and super positive and I loved the vibe from both him and Sulgi!
