  • “I look forward to Pilates every week. The class is great fun and we’ve all become friends which makes it even more enjoyable.  Sally is a creative teacher so class is always varied and challenges us to improve and become stronger. It’s very rewarding that I can do exercises now which I found difficult at first and thought I would never be able to do! I have been taking Sally’s class for almost a year and it caters for students of all levels and as we learn more, she provides us with feedback to continually improve our alignment and strength. She’s fantastic!”

  • "As a busy working mum doing Sally's Pilates class gives me a bit of me time, it's really slowed down my scatty full of stuff to do brain. It enables me to switch off and recharge and I notice a significant difference in my core and strength and having a positive impact on my ability to run faster up hills on my 10k runs."

    Julie

  • "Sally is a beast! Her Pilates and 1:1 PT sessions are always really motivating, and no two classes are ever the same. She makes every workout fun while still challenging, and I always feel better after a workout with her. Highly recommend her classes!
