Our story

Core Belief Studio was born from a passion for empowering people to move, feel, and live better. Led by Yusra — a dedicated Pilates instructor with a warm, friendly approach — our studio combines expert guidance with a supportive, welcoming environment.

We're based at The Trampery on the Gantry in Hackney Wick / Stratford, a space that reflects the energy and diversity of East London.

Being part of this community matters to us — we're here for the professionals, creatives, and residents who call this part of East London home. Our east-facing windows bring in natural morning light that shifts throughout the day, creating a calm, grounded atmosphere.

Meet Yusra

With years of experience and a personal, caring touch, Yusra supports people from all walks of life — whether managing injuries, building strength, or seeking a deeper mind-body connection. Every session is thoughtfully tailored, so you always feel seen and encouraged, no matter your goals or challenges. At Core Belief, you’ll find a welcoming space where progress is celebrated, individuality matters, and movement feels genuinely rewarding.

Yusra’s adaptable approach means your unique needs are always at the forefront, whether you’re returning to movement after time away, pushing for new milestones, or simply wanting to feel better in your body. She believes everyone deserves to feel strong and confident, and she’s committed to making Pilates accessible and enjoyable for all. Expect expert guidance, genuine encouragement, and a community that cheers you on every step of the way. Here, movement isn’t just exercise — it’s a celebration of what your body can do, and every small win is acknowledged with positive energy and care.

We’ve been busy!

Come see how our East London studio build is shaping up! True to Yusra’s motto — if something’s worth doing, it’s worth rolling up your sleeves (with a little help from family and special friends). Every detail is coming together with hands-on care, laughter, and a few shared cups of coffee along the way.

The energy in the space is a reflection of everyone who’s pitched in, making it feel even more special and welcoming.

And meet Banksy, our unofficial studio mascot. You’ll often spot him snuggling in his corner, bringing his own brand of love and support to the space. Whether he’s quietly supervising the action or greeting visitors with a gentle nuzzle, Banksy adds an extra layer of warmth and comfort to the studio — reminding us all that a little bit of furry affection can make any day brighter.
