I feel motivated in each class but also like I’m learning proper form to keep my body healthy. I’m especially a fan of the hot pilates, I have a blast and have gotten stronger :)"

  • "Love, love, love - and more love! My husband and I have been coming here for a wee while now. We started (I think) with the £30 for 30 days offer and moved on to the 6 month membership. We just keep renewing and have no plans to stop. I don't really know where to start... The staff are exceptional. Every single one, past and present have been lovely to us. We have always been welcomed and given excellent service - whether at the check in desk or on the mat. There are many classes to choose from and the times suit us well. I love the fact that each instructor is different and unique, providing a lovely variety - and always a wonderful class. They are professional, knowledgeable, skilled, supportive, caring and fun. It's a really lovely environment. I can honestly say, I haven't regretted going once (although I have regretted missing classes). I wish I had discovered this years ago. The atmosphere has always been positive. Everyone has their goal and are supportive in achieving it together. From a quiet, focussed Bikram to an energetic HIT Pilates with the tunes blasting, we have enjoyed it all. There is a real sense of community. It doesn't really matter how good (or not) you are, different modifications are provided and you can choose challenge level. Also, no judgement if you need a rest. I find it a really accepting place. It's full of people with all different backgrounds and experiences. All together, learning, getting to know each other and improving their practice. I would highly recommend Hot Yoga Glasgow. Thanks xxx"

  • "Fantastic , welcoming and very calm studio. I’m semi retired and joined a couple of years ago on one of their promotional deals and now I’m hooked. I was a total beginner and found the teachers really welcoming and very knowledgeable. I stick to Bikram classes while I’m building my competence and with classes for this every morning and evening it’s easy to establish a routine that suits. There’s also a wide range of other classes on the schedule and I plan to try some of those in due course- especially now that I take a 6 monthly membership which makes this place great value for money."

  • "I received a hot yoga membership as a retirement gift and was initially apprehensive about trying it. However, my anxiety was unfounded and I attended five sessions within the first week.Regular practice of hot yoga has revealed several significant benefits. Research supports these findings; the warmer temperature facilitates muscle warming and increased blood flow which can enhance flexibility. Over time I have noticed improved physical performance. Additionally, research indicates that hot yoga can positively impact mental health. I have observed improvements in sleep quality and a sense of calm. Weight loss and enhanced cardiovascular fitness were also notable.The Battlefield studio is well-lit and modern, equipped with an advanced infrared heating system. The staff and class are welcoming and the instructors are highly skilled. It is beneficial to try various instructors and classes as they all contribute to personal performance and well-being. They are adept at gently adjusting posture. While the 90-minute Bikram class is intense, I find the 60-minute class more enjoyable. The 90-minute fusion yoga and deep release classes are exceptional. Ann’s deep release class is particularly popular due to the inclusion of a towel fan midway. Yin yoga with Toni: This class is truly relaxing. It’s held at a comfortable temperature, with soft yoga music playing in the background. The class involves gentle, passive poses with controlled breathing. Toni is excellent at subtly and gently adjusting your pose. The class definitely helps you feel calm and improves joint mobility.Sadly, his class is only available once a month."

  • "Love it. I went to try the inferno hot pilates class for the first. It was awesome. That atmosphere was incredible and everyone was so warm (no pun intended) and friendly. I had arrived early and had a chat with the manager and the instructor. They offered more information about the class and what it can do for me and gave me some tips on general wellbeing and nutrition."
