Testimonials

I have been attending Val's Pilates classes for several years and I feel great benefits from the full range of stretches, strength and control exercises. I love Val's professionalism and creativity, with carefully planned sessions which are knowledgeable and informative. Val's happy and positive attitude make the classes engaging and fun. She is great at providing helpful and timely feedback to get the most out of each exercise

I have been learning Pilates with Val for 18 months now and I highly recommend the classes. 

Val makes everything fun, enjoyable and challenging!

Each week, we build on what we have learnt beforehand and are taught new techniques.

What I especially enjoy is that Val teaches how to do things and also why you are doing them and how it will help your body

As someone who spends most of  their day at a desk for work, I find the Pilates classes help with the dull aches and pains from being sat all day.

It is great way to learn about Pilates from a passionate, well informed, experienced and fun teacher

I have been doing Pilates with Val for over a year, before that I practiced Yoga for many years. Val's Pilates classes have made me a firm convert. It is clear to me she is very knowledgeable and builds on this knowledge regularly.

Val's classes focus on both strength and suppleness throughout the joints, muscles and myofacia, and they are delivered in a fun, relaxed and engaging manner..

As a sufferer of myofascia pain, Val's exercises and techniques ensure I can manage pain better, enabling me to self treat in many cases, build strength whilst maintaining suppleness and reduce reliance on a physio.

Having dabbled with Pilates classes over the years I have finally found the sweet spot with my one-on-one sessions with Val. An underlying medical condition which limits my flexibility and can result in painful joint & muscle discomfort has really benefited from Val’s carefully planned & informative lessons. Every session is different, she works sensitively and intuitively with me. Everything is explained with great clarity and a dash of humour which keeps our lessons fun and highly enjoyable.

As a complete beginner, I was keen, but nervous to start Pilates. I shouldn't have worried as Val has created a friendly, challenging and really fun workout experience. She adapts some of the more complex moves to allow beginners to feel comfortable but also make progress. For anyone feeling nervous, I'd say go for it, Val's classes are a highlight of my week!

Great Pilates Classes with Val. I particularly love the detailed explanations about what happens in your body whilst doing the exercises. You can definitely feel the difference in yourself between the start and the end of the class. By the end you are feeling more relaxed and simply happier
