"Joining a Pilates class has been a personal investment on so many levels. The chance to give myself an hour's unfettered time and focus on my core strength has had a positive impact both on my emotional and physical well-being. The exercises focus the mind as much as the muscles and I leave a class feeling energised and uplifted."

Shirley (46yrs)

"Lottie is an exceptional teacher. She provides an indivualised approach within a small group setting and is able to communicate clearly and effectively with never ending patience. For someone used to more cardiovascular exercise, Pilates has been a revelation. I leave the class walking 2 inches taller feeling relaxed yet invigorated."

Katie (33)

"I bore all my friends saying how great Pilates is and I certainly feel the benefit each week. I feel like my joints are re-lubricated and all my tensions gone, and I have a waist again! I thoroughly recommend Lottie's classes which are personal, friendly and very welcoming."

Jane (60)

"Pilates is great for the over fifties as it is low impact. I've noticed a big improvement in flexibility and strength, not to mention improved muscle tone. Lottie is a fantastic teacher - she is a real Pilates expert and a very sympathetic teacher. Her classes are always fun as well as instructive."

Joan (56)

"I tried Pilates to compliment my running. I wasn't sure whether I'd enjoy it or not as I always thought it would be too slow. However, I am finding it really enjoyable. I love the exercises and the control needed to do them, strengthening my core muscles. I am surprised how hard I work and that I sometimes ache after a session - in a good way!

Lottie is an excellent cheerful teacher. As the classes are small she notices what we are doing and corrects us all the time - I can't get away with anything"

Sally (38)

"Since starting Pilates 18 months ago I have become more aware of my body and how it works and when I remember, make a conscious effort to stand tall and in the correct posture. I always have the 'feel good' factor after a lesson, and can feel my very unsupple back benefitting from the exercises. Since starting Pilates my age-related creaks and twinges have, in some cases, lessened, and at the very least, stabilised. You are never asked to do more than is good for you, and over time my threshold has expanded."
