Injury and rehab

I cannot recommend Reigate Pilates enough for anyone wishing to start or continue their Pilates practice. Over several terms I have taken classes with Shannon and some of the other instructors. All Reigate Pilates teachers are professional and friendly throughout and classes have a personal feel. The instructors consistently get to know and remember their clients, their strengths and areas for improvement. I really appreciate the close attention paid to correcting postures and the explanation of how and why changes will benefit you. The hour long classes fly by and I wish I had time for more than one a week! I leave each Thursday feeling calm, strong and six inches taller!

I was having very painful back problems and decided that I would give Pilates a try to see if I could somehow manage my pain and mobility issues without having to resort to spinal surgery. I started out with a beginners’ mat class at Reigate Pilates, the exercises I did quite literally kept me going – I’d walk into class all bent out of shape and walk out as tall as can be. The team at Reigate Pilates are very caring and they take time to make sure that you’re OK with the exercises you are doing and only encourage you to do what you can do within the limits of your own body. Classes are friendly with a mix people of age groups from all walks of life. The contribution that Pilates has made to my health is clear and I look forward to carrying on with the exercises at Reigate Pilates for the foreseeable future.
