Complete beginner taking one to one private sessions to increase confidence
I would highly recommend Gill to anyone looking to take up Pilates. I have learnt a lot about my own body, noticed improvements in my posture and have more confidence to attend classes. She always challenged me at exactly the right level and I felt safe in her hands. Gill is patient, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and her approach is very clear. It was a pleasure to have 1-2-1 sessions with her.
Clients in group classes seeking improved strength, toning and posture
"Gills instructions are very clear-- I know exactly what muscles I should focus on, what pitfalls to avoid in the exercises and how to breathe.
Very enjoyable classes. Good variety of exercises; positive and friendly atmosphere;
I can now dig the garden without getting any back problems

Client taking group and private classes with chronic hip and back issues
It’s Gill’s attention to detail and her desire to get to the bottom of your specific posture issues that for me makes her stand out as a Pilate’s instructor. She really tailors the Pilates exercises to address the individual issues you have, building up strength and resilience for the future. Don’t miss out on her expertise! It really has been invaluable to me and I recommend Gill wholeheartedly.
Client in private session with concerns arising from hypermobility
“Gill’s Pilates teaching is fun, focussed and highly professional. Explaining the techniques in an easy-to-understand manner, Gill showed me how to do the exercises for maximum benefit. I had concerns about my ribs, which tend to dislocate, and she helped me stretch and strengthen safely and with confidence. I highly recommend Gill’s teaching!”
Client with back problems, in group mat class
" It feels as though there is structure to the classes and that you are trying to move on and improve, rather than doing the same thing week in, week out"
"Enthusiastic, good clear teaching and explanations about exercises"
" Very beneficial and enjoyable. I recomend Pilates to everyone"

Client taking studio and home sessions
"I can say with complete confidence that a little Pilates goes a long way & makes a profound difference in my posture, strength & overall body comfort.
I am more confident & feel better when I am actively engaged in Pilates & Gill works hard to keep me engaged by tailoring sessions to my interests and needs. I appreciate Gill’s nursing background & what is brings to her instruction."

Client one to one and subsequent studio sessions
"I can highly recommend pilates as a form of exercise. I often go to a pilates group, but after I had a one-to-one session with Gill I soon realised from her expert eye and personal attention that I had not been doing many of the exercises properly, and so was not getting the most out of my class at all. I subsequently signed up for a five-week course in a studio........; and the difference to my everyday posture, and to my control and technique while doing pilates has been really noticeable. Compared to exercising in a gym, pilates is a much more harmonious way to build strength and flexibility, and the perfect way to retrain your body to get it into good habits that will give you lifelong benefits."
