All Testimonials and Reviews

Thanks Amanda for a great 4 week course- it nicely supported my training leading up to the half marathon and I was delighted to feel some progression in my hip and core strength.

Over the years I have, among other things, had a vehicle run over my legs, carried exceedingly heavy weights, fallen through a ceiling 9' backwards onto a concrete floor, and knocked myself out after tumbling headlong down a steep staircase. Despite considerable back problems from my youth, I consider myself fortunate to only have arthritis, scoliosis, and a full knee replacement.
​
However, I was very concerned that I was getting limited mobility, and encountering maneuverability problems with everyday tasks. I therefore knew I needed professional advice and support, but felt certain that I would be unable to do this by joining a group of people in a class.
​
Having discussed my concerns with my osteopath he told me about Amanda. This has proved to be the perfect solution, as she has worked out which pilates moves are appropriate for my specific problems. Amanda has built up a picture of my specific limitations, and has introduced movements of increasing degrees of difficulty, as I have become more mobile.
Additionally, the importance of the psychological benefits gained cannot be over emphasised. With encouragement to maintain practise in between sessions, and reinforcement during those to ensure that the right method, and process is being carried out.
​
When I first met Amanda I was struggling to put my car seat belt on. Actions speak louder than words, and I have recently achieved a life time ambition by climbing on top of a twin winged aeroplane, and wing walking. With Amanda 'the sky's the limit'!

Amanda’s classes were recommended to me by my chiropractor for a knee injury that has spanned 2 years and had stopped me doing any exercise at all for 6 months. The classes are challenging however Amanda makes them fun. She pushes your flexibility to another level. My posture and movement have now changed beyond recognition. This summer I trekked the Mont Blanc mountain range totally pain and injury free – I attribute this success to Amanda’s teaching.
I've been attending Amanda's Pilates and more recently BarreConcept classes for over two years and these sessions are now an important part of my regular fitness/general body maintenance regime.

The classes are friendly, yet challenging and Amanda instills a high level of self belief that enables you to set fitness goals that are within your grasp.
