  Banu is truly one of the best Pilates instructors I’ve ever worked with. I’ve been practicing Pilates for over 12 years across reformer, mat, chair, springboard, and TRX, and have taken private, small group, and studio classes – so I have a strong basis for comparison. She absolutely stands out. What sets Banu apart is how clearly she explains every exercise. She doesn’t just tell you what to do—she walks you through exactly which muscles you should be engaging and why. During the exercise, she gives thoughtful cues and adjustments so you actually feel the correct activation, which makes a huge difference in getting the most out of each movement. Her classes tend to use higher reps than some other instructors, but it always feels intentional and purposeful—not excessive. You can tell there’s a plan behind it, and it leads to better strength, control, and endurance over time. I’ve taken 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 classes with her, and she meets students where they are while helping each person perform at their best. She often offers individual adjustments (always respectfully and with permission), which I really appreciate. I’ve taken over 250 classes at Club Pilates, and Banu is consistently one of my absolute top instructors. I even go out of my way to attend her classes at different locations—that’s how good she is. Highly recommend.

  I recommend Club pilates! I have been a member for over a year and the workouts a great. I take Banu's classes a few times a week, as well as Caroline's. The classes are wonderful for a beginner to very advanced level. I had to take a few months off due to a severe injury so started back stretch level one with Banu and quickly worked back to 1.5 level. The classes are challenging yet offer room for modifications. I like that the workouts are effective but gentle on the body. This worked better for me than PT.

  I love Club Pilates in Miller Place! I've been coming for about a month and a half now, about 4 times a week, and I am truly enjoying it so much. Lindsay, Caroline, and Banu are my favorite instructors, and I especially look forward to Banu's Stretch Focus class on Friday where I can stretch out all of my sore muscles at the end of the week. Each of the instructors do a brilliant job guiding you through the class. When I first started, it was my first time trying any sort of exercise class or pilates, but it wasn't difficult at all to join because the classes are so well led. It's definitely challenging but it's nice to see myself getting stronger. I also like that each instructor does things a little differently, so you get a good variety during the week.

  I’ve been a member of the studio since it opened. While all the instructors are great for different reasons one of my favorites is Banu. Her classes are challenging, her queuing is direct and easy to understand, her pace is slow and controlled, she explains the goal of each movement so you can really connect to the targeted muscles. She offers modifications throughout, so any level of practice can be successful in her classes. She’s always a friendly face when you walk into the studio. Her classes are the first ones I book!

  Banu is such a wonderful and amazing instructor!! Every class is upbeat, challenging, and so thoughtfully put together. Her choreography is amazing, the music is always on point, and no two classes ever feel the same — she constantly keeps things fresh, creative, and fun! You can also tell that Banu genuinely cares about her clients. She always tailors her classes to everyone’s individual needs and makes you feel comfortable and supported, no matter what your experience level is! Banu's energy is contagious and I can't say enough amazing things about her!! Her classes have made me SO much stronger and I always leave feeling happier and so excited to come back for the next one :) Ps. She is also the plank queen !!
