She took the time to answer all my questions so I left feeling really confident and excited about my next session.’ About Preventing Injury ‘Pilates was recommended to me by my physiotherapist to help prevent About Back Pain ‘I have always had back problems, even when growing up, but in the last few years the pain had become excruciating. I now practice Pilates everyday and the difference to my posture and the reduction of pain is profound.’ About Posture ‘Having been taught Pilates for the last couple of years my posture has really improved.

That’s all down to Pilates. Thank you and long may it continue....’ About the team: ‘Gemma’s enthusiasm and commitment to Pilates’ instruction is second to none. Through the work I do with her in mat-based classes and one-to- one sessions, I have learnt huge amounts about my own body and how to keep it healthy. She knows exactly what level to take me to and I always feel that I have achieved something. She is patient, enthusiastic and knowledgeable and the qualities that she brings to every session make Pilates a joy to do.’ ‘I have attended Karen’s Pilates class for some time and as a chartered physiotherapist I find the class both safe and challenging with a strong emphasis on correct postural alignment. ‘This is my third year of Pilates with Sarah, and although I am still working at level one it has become an essential part of my life. In my mid-sixties, unfit and with back problems, I had never been to an exercise class before but Sarah's patience and experience quickly allowed me to benefit from Pilates. She accepts all the difficulties people present with calm confidence, altering exercises for individuals as appropriate. No one is left to struggle, and most importantly, I feel safe in her hands.’ ‘I have been taking a Pilates class with Fiona for a couple of years and find her classes incredibly enjoyable. Her approach is very clear. I have improved my core strength, posture and flexibility. Highly recommendable!’ ‘Having attended Teri’s classes for the past year, I find them very beneficial to my arthritis. I am limited to the exercises I can do and Teri is extremely supportive to my needs and adapts some of the movements to suit me.’ ‘I have been attending Amanda's classes regularly and appreciate her relaxed, yet clear and specific teaching style. The adjustments that she makes to my form during the class have made obvious improvements to my posture and flexibility. I am also more confident to use the exercises at home between classes.’ ‘I really enjoy the Pilates classes as they have helped me to relax and unwind, as well as easing my back problems. Charlotte is a great instructor and moves at a pace that accommodates everyone in the class.’
‘Elisa’s background as a sports teacher combined with an intimate knowledge of breathing difficulties gave her a practical advantage over any other therapists I have seen. I have severe asthma and was worried I could not manage exercises but as the hospital recommended that I improve my chest muscles I started sessions with Elisa. Not only does she pitch the exercises just right for you, they seem so effortless that you don't realise what an effect they are having. Elisa could identify the muscles I was (and wasn't) using and she talked me through the benefits of each new exercise. Her calm tone and eternal patience made the sessions a real pleasure. ’
‘My Physiotherapist recommended I start Pilates following a back injury after a car accident. I started classes with Andrea and almost immediately started to feel better, with less pain and stiffness. She is an excellent teacher who easily related to my problem because of her own back history. She motivated me with her inspirational energy and enthusiasm, I would recommended her to everyone.’
‘I was advised to take up Pilates some years ago to help with my medical condition. Working with Simone over the last year has helped significantly. She researched the best exercises for me and has been totally committed to providing carefully developed and well structured 121 sessions. If your looking for a thoughtful, knowledgable and also charming Pilates instructor, then you need look no further. You should see Simone.’
