Splits Club!

“Mahla is a one in a million trainer. I have had bad experiences in group movement classes in the past, due to combinations of queer-phobia, fat-phobia and ableism. I had almost given up on group exercise classes after this, coupled with a severe ankle injury.

I was anxious about trying another class - would I be able to keep up? Would I be able to move my body in the ways I was used to before injury and when my body was smaller? But I had heard wonderful things about Mahla from friends, and so bundled myself along to Mahla’s Splits Club class.

Mahla is so warm and welcoming, and made me feel so at home in their classes. If I had questions about any exercise or activity we were doing, they were able to guide me through the movement breakdown, and provided me with options and levels of intensity that suited me, my fitness, my flexibility and my anxiety.

They intuitively know how to both push you and help you feel supported, cared for and capable. I couldn’t recommend them more highly! Thank you Mahla, for helping me to feel strong again 🖤”

“These classes offer more knowledge and fun thrown at you in one session than an episode of “Our Planet” with David Attenborough, with probably as many animal references.

Themme knows how to get you results with years of applied experience, and gently motivates you to push past the pain zone into stronger and longer shapes. 10/10 would recommend online and in person for a wonderfully inclusive and friendly experience.”

“I love these classes! I’ve never laughed so much or felt so supported while in pain*

*good pain please make it clear I mean good pain”

“I'm famously inflexible and uncoordinated, and was worried I'd be too much of a beginner. Mahla is so welcoming, and was inclusive of a range of skill, always encouraging safety, while pushing outside the comfort zone. Really fun, friendly, and joyful, highly recommend!" Juniper, they/them, 32
