“I have been with Heather since she began classes about 17 years ago and I have found that it has helped with my posture, flexibility and general feeling of well being. I used to suffer with back pains but rarely experience these now and if I do can be reminded of exercises that might help. I find that I am much more active than a lot of my friends of my age and often people remark on my good posture and I certainly put this down to the Pilates classes I have attended over the years. During lockdown the on-line sessions have been invaluable and I have usually tried to do two a week. Thank you for all your hard work and personal interest. Fabulous!! ”

“In my late 70’s I had to stop playing my love, Golf! I was so upset. I just didn’t have the strength anymore to play, even with a buggy. A friend recommend I start Pilates, so I joined Heather’s classes. It took a few weeks of persevering, but I really did start to notice little changes. I could get up the stairs a lot easier, out of my chair etc. With Spring approaching (6 months later) I loaded my golf clubs into the car and did my first round of golf (albeit 9 holes) since last summer. I was thrilled. My husband and friends couldn’t believe the difference in me in such a short time. I can’t recommend it enough.”

“Pilates is for Girls! That’s what I thought. But I read up about it and realised that it was invented by a Man! Me and my mate (we are in our 50’s) thought we’d give it ago. My goodness. I couldn’t believe how strong it was. Heather really pushed us because we wanted that, but others just did it at their own pace. My back pain has gone, I am stronger than ever and able to carry on with the other sports I enjoy too. Fab!”

“Four years ago I had a very bad car crash. I was left with multiple injuries to my leg and hip. After many operations I was just about able to walk with a crutch. I was so unhappy. I did all my exercises, but they just didn’t seem to do anything anymore. I was told about Heather and we met up privately for a few sessions. She got me off my crutches immediately and gave me the confidence to stand on my own 2 feet again. She worked on my balance and power in my leg and hip. Within a very short time I was going out without my crutch and had confidence again. You are amazing.”

“I have been doing Pilates with Heather since she started 16 years ago. I absolutely love it. I am now in my 60’s and am still able to ride my horses daily and compete. I also love riding my bike and walking the dogs. Without Heather’s classes I would definitely have not been able to carry on the things I love.”

“Hi. I’m only 16! I love running and doing lots of sports, but I never win! I needed more power and stamina. My mum goes to Heather’s classes and she suggested I come along with her, but I thought Pilates was for girls and old people! My goodness, the difference in just a few weeks was amazing. I started winning races instead of coming 4th! My pace and stamina had improved so much. I am never stopping Pilates! Thank you Heather.”

“Hello. I’m Jean and am 83. I used to love tap and golf, but have had to give all that up now. When Covid hit I heard about Heather’s classes. I joined. I do 4 morning classes a week and absolutely love them. Whilst being locked down they give me a purpose to get up and do something. They have really saved my life. Thank you Heather. Please don’t ever give up.”

“The Turner Family. We are a family of 5. We love our sport, but have been unable to go to all the clubs we like over lockdown. Every Monday and Wednesday evening we join Heather for our Pilates classes. It is so lovely to do something as a family. Awsome job Heather.”
