Testimonials

Joyce

V is a consummate professional always gives encouraging comments to promote the participants' self esteem.

She always gives clear concise instructions and accurate demonstrations she always says there will be additions but do the exercise at your own pace.

V knows what effect the Pilates moves or exercises will have on our joints and muscles and gives a clear objective at the beginning of each session.

Matt

Virginia’s Pilates classes are simply brilliant! Her warm and encouraging approach creates a space where I feel motivated to push myself while remaining comfortable. Movements are always adapted to layer up to suit all abilities, flexibility and limitations ensuring everyone can enjoy participating in the class and reap the benefits of Pilates.

Even though classes are online, Virginia connects with you in a way that feels personal as if you were in a studio with her and she will always make time for you if you have any questions before or after the class.

Virginia is not only a highly qualified instructor, but also deeply passionate about Pilates which transcends through the class. I would highly recommend Virgina’s Pilates classes for anyone seeking to improve their posture, core, flexibility and overall wellbeing.

Melanie

I’ve been doing Pilates classes with V both online & in person for nearly 15 years.

I always feel I’m in very safe hands with V as she is extremely knowledgeable & passionate about all aspects of both fitness & nutrition.

I love how V sets new choreography each week creating different challenges for both the body & mind. Whether it’s a traditional flow or moves using equipment she will always offer different options to suit all abilities from beginners to those who have been practicing for years.

I personally love how I feel after her class, whether it’s addressing a sore joint, achieving a greater stretch or just allowing my body to feel a complete sense of calm it always leaves me feeling I want to come back for more.

Thank you V.
