Testimonials

So what do our clients think?

We often have clients tell us how much Advantage Pilates has helped them so thought we would put some of their stories here for you to read.

I started Pilates over 12 months ago. I thought I would give it a go after having had several years of chiropractic manipulation without a lot of success or only temporary relief.

I had also had massages on a weekly basis and my massage therapist suggested I try Pilates to get more flexibility.

After several sessions at Pilates reformer/ Mat classes, I started to see results almost immediately. I am 55 years young and have never been able to touch my toes, but after Pilates I can now not only touch my toes but feel freer & much more flexible in all movements.

I highly recommend Pilates for lifestyle benefits.

My specialist, 12 months ago, suggested I start doing Pilates whilst awaiting knee surgery.

I look forward to Annie’s classes as she is friendly yet very professional.  She knows her stuff, suggested exercises for me to do at home to strengthen my knee prior to my surgery and also gave me post-op exercises.

I had my knee surgery over 6 months ago and have continued with Pilates reformer and mat classes, generally 2-3 times per week.  The benefits for me from the Pilates classes include improved posture, core strength, flexibility and general well-being.

I can highly recommend Pilates to everyone, regardless of age or fitness level.  The classes and exercises are based on individual abilities, from basic to intermediate to advanced.  I started with the basics and am now confidently working my way from intermediate towards advanced.
