What My Clients Say

Steve

I was searching for a Pilates instructor who would tailor the exercise to my individual needs and was extremely lucky to come across Alison. From the outset she worked extremely hard to make the sessions work for me and I can’t thank her enough for the effort and dedication she showed. She went way beyond my expectations and was brilliant teacher.

In an attempt to alleviate chronic back pain and sciatica, without having to resort to strong medication, my GP suggested that l try a Pilates Class. Alison’s class was recommended to me because of her caring attitude and her individual approach to her students. I was apprehensive at first but Alison quickly reassured me and kept a close watch on me (and still does) I have been attending Alison’s class now for almost 6 months and due to a combination of Alison’s intervention and my integrating her advice into my daily activities, my sciatica has virtually disappeared and my back pain is much reduced. Since l started Pilates with Alison my posture has improved and l have developed a more positive attitude to how l move, sit and stand. My balance has improved immeasurably and l am generally stronger than l have been for years. Thank you Alison

Anne

Alison runs a fantastic Pilates Class. I've had spinal surgery and often have back pain. After Alison's class l am in much less pain and feel more confident in my mobility. Alison is always aware of any medical issues members have and will offer alternative exercises. I would recommend her classes to anyone of any age

Gillian

I really enjoy Alison's Pilates Class. She is very aware of any weaknesses people have and ensures they have an exercise tailored to help their problem. The exercises are varied and there are opportunities for each class member to work at different levels to suit their abilities

Caroline

I have been attending Alison's Pilates Class for about 6 months. I thoroughly enjoy Alison's way of teaching as she delivers the class in various ways always done with her gentle humour and personalised guidance. Having had a long term lower back problem, l now feel stronger than l have done for a long time and if my back flares up again, l cope with it better and recover quicker thanks to Alison's class

Joan

I have really enjoyed and physically benefited from both Alison's Pilates and Forever Young Keep Fit Have Fun Classes over the last 9 months. Her instructions are clear, she gives good explanations of how the exercises & movements can positively affect us and she takes a personal interest in the wellbeing of every member of the class

Anna

Alison teaches with great professional insight. She does this with huumour and concern for all of us in her classes

Christine

The class Alison teaches is fun and enjoyable. She has made it easy for all levels of ability for everybody. I feel relaxed and happy after the class

Beatrice

At my Health Club the majority of classes are designed with the younger and fitter members in mind and although there are quite a few quieter options like Pilates, Yoga, Tai Chi etc. to suit all age groups, some of us felt that there was a lack of gentler aerobic classes for the older members. Until Alison came on the scene. We now had our instructor. From the word go, she endeared herself to us by introducing a lot of variety in her classes, mainly low impact aerobics and dance but also a bit of resistance work, Modern Pilates and relaxation at the end. And all of this is very enjoyable and SUCH FUN! We never stop laughing and giggling, particularly when we get the clapping or the dance steps wrong. Having said that, the class is a very good way to exercise our brains as concentration on new moves is often required! Alison is a very patient, kind, very aware and caring instructor who also seems to enjoy sharing our giggles! The class has now grown from the original 3 or 4 members to 8 or 9. And we ALL love it! A great way to start the week, body and mind refreshed and good mood for the rest of the day assured! Alison, a big thank you to you!
