REVIEWS

I have just completed the Beginners course for Seniors. I joined because I needed help with maintaining good posture and a strong core. I really enjoyed the course which was small in numbers and allowed a lot of interaction and personal help and introduced me to the fundamentals of Pilates . Anita is welcoming, fun and passionate as well as knowledgeable about her job. She really wants to help you! I have come away feeling much better about my problems and how to deal with them. I will certainly continue with sessions in the future. I would definitely recommend Anita.

I have really enjoyed this course.
The face to face beginners was exactly what i needed.
Anita is an excellent teacher.

I am virtually a beginner at Pilates but did try it over 25 years ago.
At my age I am looking to understand how to keep my body in shape in later life and to rectify the bad posture habits I have acquired. This face to face beginners class with low numbers was exactly what I wanted to achieve virtually a one - to- one experience that was directed towards ageing adults with their normal health problems. As someone who has had a heart attack I could relate well to being helped by someone who had come through similar issues. This class was exactly what I was hoping for and despite the fact I was the only male we got on well and I learned a lot. I would recommend Anita and her methods wholeheartedly.

I have been doing Pilates for several years and last year and decided to try Anita’s classes. I was looking for something more personalised, something that would challenge me more and help me become stronger. With Anita’s classes I found exactly what I wanted! Due to small group sizes and her amazing memory of everyone’s needs (injuries, conditions and different experience levels) the exercises feel personalised, almost like having a 1 to 1 session. Since the start of the pandemic I have been doing the Anchor Point Pilates class, which is great for improving strength in a safe and interesting way. I am amazed by how Anita manages to see if you are doing the exercises correctly when this is an online class! If you think you can cheat and a have a lazy posture, you are wrong! I would certainly recommend the Anchor Point Pilates class for all experience levels.

I started doing Pilates because I had become aware that my body had become stiff and lacked flexibility despite being in good general health. I was nervous about starting high impact exercise at my age and Pilates seemed to have just the right balance of stretching and muscle toning and 3 years on I know I made the right choice, especially with Anita as teacher. In my opinion Anita' s knowledge and understanding of human physiology is outstanding and she applies that expertise in everything she demonstrates and the advice she gives,she is very firm when she spots you doing something which could have an adverse effect! Since doing these classes I have a much more flexible toned body and feel so much better,thank you Anita!

Having suffered with back problems for many years (osteoarthritis, slipped disc and osteopenia) I utilised the first lockdown to find a Pilates class. I liked the sound of small classes and Anita seemed very qualified for what I felt I needed.
The class turned out to be exactly what I needed but soon realised I both wanted and needed more. Anita explained in an easy to understand way how to improve my bone density but I was loath to join a class, as I was scared! So I embarked on 1 to 1 training which is great. The sessions are tailored to my needs and Anita is very flexible and will often change things during the session as issues arise. I know I have a way to go but with Anita’s continuing support I know I will achieve my ultimate goal which is to be stronger and more flexible. The results so far (in under a year) are amazing!
I’ve also started the stretch and relax session on a Friday afternoon and it’s such a great way to set you up for the weekend and ensure a great night’s sleep!
Couldn’t recommend her more highly.

I really enjoy the classes I do with Anita. She offers a good variety of exercises, something for everyone and every ability. Anita is an excellent teacher and her years of experience means that she can offer just the right exercise, we are stretched, but safe. She is full of curiosity about fitness and keeps up to date with new methods and ideas. I feel so lucky to have found Anita.

Anita is a superb Pilates teacher. Well informed, very attentive to her pupils - you can't hoodwink Anita on zoom, the lessons have a good flow, never boring and a solid progression whilst cater for a wide range of abilities. Anita's approach is a holistic counter for the aging process- would highly recommend

Anita's weekly classes are great. Slightly different each week, they work on all or many parts of the body. Each exercise is only done a few times which means I don't get bored or find it too much strain: we are soon on to something else. I feel much better afterwards. I am sure it helps with mobility. Anita is very knowledgeable and caring and fits the classes to all the pupils.

I started attending one Pilates class a week at Anita's studio in Sale in September 2019. Pilates had been recommended to me for my weak lower back and I wanted a small class size which is what Anita offered. I was a complete beginner when I started, and over the past 1 1/2 years Anita has moved us on, in small gentle steps so that we are now level 2. My lower back has vastly improved, and my general mobility, core strength and even my posture have also improved. Anita is a hugely knowledgeable and experienced teacher. She motivates people to achieve what they can, and as the classes are generally around 4 people, the tuition is almost individual. I would definitely recommend her classes.
