Testimonials
Here is what my happy customers have to say about their experiences with Jo's Pilates 😊
"After many years of having a bad back, due to a heavy workload, I was advised to take up Pilates. I have now been with Jo for a year and haven’t had a bad back since. Jo is encouraging, especially with some of the more challenging Pilates moves and there’s always a few giggles along the way."

"Jo is a great Pilates instructor, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
If anyone has health issues, Jo always takes great care to modify the exercises, in order to help with any discomfort that they might be feeling. I have had many recommendations over the years from Jo, particularly how to manage back pain, and the pelvic floor etc… and all have proven to be very helpful.
After 10 years of classes with Jo Pilates has helped with my flexibility, and core strength. Pilates also has aspects of mindfulness and again I feel that is has helped to improve my breathing and concentration."

"I have been taking Pilates classes with Jo for at least 5 years, starting with the ‘Beginners’ classes & now the 'Mixed Ability ' classes. The significant improvement in my balance and particularly my core strength, is very noticeable. The classes are fun & friendly & Jo always gives us different levels of each exercise to suit our ability or an alternative exercise. I especially appreciated the Zoom Pilates classes that Jo ran during lockdown. No two classes are the same! I would highly recommend Jo's Pilates to anyone who wished to start Pilates or further develop their ability."

“I have been doing Pilates with Jo since 2009. Her classes are always a pleasure and lift my day. I can
see that Jo enjoys running the classes and takes care to ensure everyone else does too. She ensures
that everyone can take part by offering variations to the exercises. I joined a gym a few years ago
but continue to come to Jo, for my Pilates. Her classes are kept small so that everyone can have
individual attention when they need it. I feel that Jo’s classes represent good value for money.”
Kim
“I have been coming to Jo's classes for around 4 years and have enjoyed every class including her
wonderful zoom classes, which she created during lockdown.
Jo makes everyone feel welcome and at ease in her classes. We always know we can work at our
own pace. Jo's professionalism and experience in teaching Pilates allows her to tailor her classes to
the right level whether you're a Beginner or Advanced in Pilates and regularly adapts exercises for
any injuries. I highly recommend Jo to anyone interested in taking up Pilates.”

"I joined Jo’s Pilates class around 2015 and thoroughly enjoy them. Jo is a great teacher and very supportive. I like the rotation of classes. Previous Pilates classes I have used have the same exercises every week. The rotation of different equipment each week keeps it fresher!"
Ian
“I joined Jo’s Pilates in 2018 and enjoyed every class. I feel fitter, more supple and it helps my mind to relax. The class atmosphere is friendly, and Jo is very experienced dedicating time to help people who are experiencing health or mobility issues. Always lovely to see Jo’s smiling face each week.”
Kathy
"Jo is an exceptional Pilates teacher, full of support, praise and encouragement.
You feel safe in her hands because of her extensive knowledge of the human body and how it works. She caters for and adapts movements for individual needs. I never fail to be amazed at what l can achieve.
Her sessions have certainly improved my body strength, posture and flexibility and l feel invigorated after."
Hazel
"I have been attending Jo's classes for over 12 years. I love the classes and look forward to them every week. Over the years I have made many changes and adjustments to my exercise/fitness regime, but my Pilates classes have always remained a constant - I would not wish to be without them. I love the mixture of classes - always mixing it up with varied equipment including bands, foam rollers and gym balls - always modified if needed, always the right balance of fun and challenge."
Lizzy
"I have been attending Pilates classes with Jo for approximately 6 years, starting as a novice with no real experience of Pilates in my fitness regime.. and now more experienced - I would not be without it - It becomes a way of life!
You will soon start to live with the mantra 'Zip, Hollow and Breathe! It has helped me not just with core stability, but also with a few conditions I have that have benefitted greatly with increasing mobility, stability and strengthening around areas I needed to improve.
Jo is always very welcoming to everyone, taking time to listen and to adapt exercises where needed, and getting the results at a pace that does not make you feel that you can’t keep up.
Jo takes you through each exercise in clear and easy ways to enable you to fully participate, at whatever level you are taking part at, giving alternatives where needed, and making you feel you are always part of the class - keeping it fun and inclusive.
I would highly recommend Jo's Pilates to anyone at all levels - beginner, to the more experienced - you will not be disappointed!"
Mark
"I’ve been attending Jo’s Pilates for almost a year and really enjoy the classes. Jo is an amazing professional instructor, very knowledgeable, relaxed and approachable from the Beginners to the Intermediate level! The classes have really improved my fitness and flexibility especially my core strength and previous back aches.
Classes are small and friendly!"
K Baker
“I have been attending Jo’s classes for many years, and Jo is a very friendly and professional
instructor, she always goes above and beyond to help. I find her classes very enjoyable, and she
adapts her exercises to everyone’s capabilities. I can’t imagine a time when I would want to leave.
I highly recommend her classes. She is simply the best.”
Louise N.
“I have benefited from Jo’s Pilates teaching for some years; both in group classes but especially in
the “one to one” sessions. I have never left a class without feeling more energised, flexible, and
physically and mentally “together”. Jo’s teaching combines her own considerable experience and
expertise in this field with a sense of light-hearted fun, yet always mindful of working within the safe
parameters of her students. Her approach is entirely holistic, along with a clear, easy to understand
methodology. After a period of health problems, I have recently recommenced one-to-one sessions
and it would not be an exaggeration to say they have been a major factor in my recovery and the
renaissance of my energy and zest for life.”
