Real Stories from Sculpt Yoga and Pilates Students

  • “I started personal training with Sally just once a week, but what a difference it made to my strength, body shape and mental well being. That hour spent each week focussing on getting fitter and stronger has stood me in good stead more recently, even after I had moved away, helping me recover quickly following a hip replacement and to return to strength training and regular exercise sessions. Sally taught me well, always ensuring my form was good to get the most from the exercises. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her, and I have done several times!””

  • “When I first saw Sally’s Pilates class advertised I thought, oh I would love to give that a go, nearly one year on and I am completely hooked.  Sally is amazing and has this unique way of pushing you every single week without you even realising. Classes are always varied and never boring the hour flies by.  Sally considers all abilities and gives alternatives so no one feels they can’t achieve their goals, whatever your age or abilities, absolutely love it!”

  • "One of my favourite days of the week is Tuesday, due to Pilates. I really do look forward to Tuesday morning Pilates. We have a laugh and joke that it's hard but I really do love it and feel really good when I leave and for the rest of the day. Sally is the best fitness teacher I've come across because she explains everything really well and looks round the room to check everyone is ok, she gives you easier options if you need them (or harder!) And one of the things I really like is she talks you through your breathing (which i struggle with so it really helps) I'm so glad I found this class".

  • "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!"
