  • "Playing such a physical sport and dealing with lower back pain, I always found huge benefits in having pilates as part of my weekly routine with Sue. With a stronger core, I found my back pain disappeared and my body in general felt much more flexible and stronger meaning I am able to train harder. I cannot recommend Sue enough."

    Jason Woodward, Professional Rugby Player

  • "Sue is an amazing pilates instructor. Her approach is both intuitive and holistic. With her deep expert knowledge of the physiology of the body, and the connection of the mind to movement, she achieves great results very quickly. As an endurance sport enthusiast I found Sue’s support and instruction invaluable in improving my performance pain free. I started a sceptic in how quickly this would work for me, or if at all, but I was proved so very wrong. Couldn’t have been happier! "

    Josephine Bush, Endurance Athlete, Amundsen South Pole Expedition

  • "Sue has made me aware of how to use the right muscles that are our building blocks in attaining stability! And even though I would consider myself strong in certain areas, the important ones to keep me functionally performing well needed addressing. The results were outstanding."

    Drew, UK

  • “I can walk downstairs without my knee hurting!!! (And do squats) you’re a genius, thank you”

    Tessa, Bristol

  • "I went to Sue as I had problems with my back and shoulders, she then discovered problems with my hip, knee, and ankle! Thankfully after one2one tuition and hard work on my part, I'm almost fixed now. I've been an avid fan of Pilates for over 15 years now but Sue is the most competent instructor that has ever taught me. I have always enjoyed Pilates but when I was introduce to the Reformer /Stott Pilates, it has changed my posture and shape of my body."

FAQs

  • The reformer is a wonderful piece of equipment guiding you through an extensive variety of movement and planes. Exercise on the reformer can support or challenge: strength, balance, alignment, awareness and proprioception. Helping to educate the clients’ neuromuscular and fascial systems, along with the guidance and feedback from the reformer and myself as I create your session. The reformer has a sliding carriage which is attached by various tensioned springs. The lighter the spring, the more challenge to the core and the stronger springs challenges strength and power. The reformer has a foot bar, arm pulleys, jump boards. V2 max is the attached tower with its own push through bar, roll down bar and springs. We can move through every possible position. You have to try it to love it! I have two which means I can help demonstrate or you can work with a partner or friend.
