Here are my latest testimonials

‘Sam changed my life! I had a very serious back injury and was referred to her by my osteopath. She really helped me to recover and helps me to keep my back in good  order. It is rare to find a teacher/instructor that is knows how to manage injuries and cares about their clients like Sam does. I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you are looking for someone to help you manage and injury or just a great Pilates teacher  that will get you fit and in shape then look no further. Sam is brilliant.’

I have been doing Pilates with Sam for twenty years. Sam has been a great Pilates instructor. She is always cheerful and very approachable and willing to give advice. I don’t know how she keeps her commentary during our one hour  lesson. I would recommend her class to anyone who would like to join.

I started with Sams classes 7 years ago in the Holmer Green village hall which were excellent to help with a neck injury. The 1-1 classes are still available once a week. I have continued her online classes which are fun and she watches us all correcting us where necessary!  All her exercises have variations for those at beginner level to those requiring more. Sam is the most amazing teacher who has kept my enthusiasm for Pilates ignited.  So much so, I have recommended her to several friends who have subsequently joined her classes.

Sam's Pilates sessions have made a  impact on my physical and mental wellbeing over many years. Her teaching is clear, motivating, good humoured, and sensitive to any particular difficulties of individuals in the group. She helps me to cope with chronic musculoskeletal problems as well as overcoming injuries. I'm now 75 and owe a great deal to Sam for my mobility, flexibility and overall fitness.

It’s hard to believe that I have been taking Sam’s Pilates classes for almost 25 years!  Over that quarter-century, those classes have helped me retain flexibility, build strength and improve my posture and wellbeing.  During the challenging Covid period, Sam effortlessly moved the classes online;  and continuing the ‘virtual’ sessions has made it possible for me to do two classes a week rather than one.

Sam herself inspires total confidence;  she is calm, supportive, flexible, never judgmental, always cheerful and good-humoured.  She prioritises the wellbeing of her students, always ensuring that the exercises ‘build’ in physical complexity to enable everyone to work at a level that is comfortable, as well as challenging.

I joined the face to face Pilates class last year following a recommendation from a friend. I have had several spinal surgeries in the past so have some ongoing limitations. I was aware from age/ lifestyle and some new unwelcome MSK issues I needed to attend a class to safely be able to regain some lost core strength. Sam’s class has been fantastic in getting me back on track in this regard , I love the fact her classes are run like clockwork but with individual attention and modification as needed for various exercises. She is a confident experienced fitness practitioner and I am so glad her weekly class has become part of my health / keep well routine.

I started my Pilates with Sam in February 2018. Firstly it was face-to-face in various local village halls, then when Covid arrived we switched to Pilates online via Zoom, which turned out to be highly successful.

I have continued via Zoom as this is so convenient for me and I am confident that Sam is able to check we are doing everything correctly, as she monitors us all closely on her various screens.

Sam is an experienced and highly professional teacher, she is also friendly and extremely accommodating when life gets in the way and the need to switch dates and swap classes happens. With every session we are given clear and simple instructions and each exercise has different options, depending on level and ability. Sam constantly tells us exactly what we are doing and how each particular exercise benefits our bodies. We are also corrected individually if the need arises! After each block we have a new regime so the lessons are always varied, interesting and enjoyable. 

I have no doubt that Pilates with Sam has benefited me in many different ways. My posture has improved, I think my core is stronger and the hip exercises really help with my one slightly arthritic hip. Also it’s a great way to start the day, providing some structure and certainly encouraging energy and motivation!

Highly recommend 😊

I have been attending Sam’s classes in person and online for more than 5 years now.She is an excellent teacher and her online classes are very clear and easy to follow.  She always offers adjustments to exercises to take account of shoulder problems etc.She is very flexible about changing my class booking to another day if I let her know make my usual day. Paying for a “half a term” block at a time commits me to doing Pilates regularly
