What people say about our classes

Starting Pilates was one of the best things I've ever done. After being bored to death in gyms and pools it's great to find something which you know is making a difference to your posture, your chronic back pain, which drains away tension and leaves you feeling invigorated.

I'm a working mum and for me, Pilates is a great way to de-stress. I can be all tensed up and tired beforehand, but when I walk out of my Pilates class, I feel top of the world ready to face anything anybody throws at me! It feels like you've had a full body massage from the inside.

I have a crushed disc and Pilates has really helped develop my muscles but also made me much more aware of my centre of gravity and how to use my core muscles to move more effectively and avoid any further damage.

Pilates is great! I feel taller and slimmer and it's brilliant for balance!

It has given me greater flexibility, I am much more aware of using my core muscles to support other movements. It has been a great help. Penny is a great teacher and goes at the relevant pace has a sense of humour and brings out the best in your abilities.

Thanks to Pilates my back is so much better - I have not had to visit the osteopath for ages and I can now sleep on my front in bed! I have also noticed an improvement in my posture.

Now I finally know how to stand tall. My balance has improved and the mobility of my upper back, I feel the clock is being put gently back, my strength, flexibility and poise has been steadily improving. I come out of Penny's Pilates class feeling more confident and 2 centimetres taller than when I went in.

I have had major surgery on my lower back that has not worked as it should. I have been in continuous pain for four years but recent weekly Pilates classes and daily practices help me cope much better.

Non- competitive, you work at your own level. A great exercise for all levels of fitness and ages.
J, 54, Chelmondiston

I came to Pilates full of trepidation, being quite old, but found it was a very mixed-age class and I was nowhere near the least agile. It has done wonders for my posture and also my stomach. I cannot recommend Penny’s classes highly enough.

I was not sure Pilates would help with my long standing back problems, but after two `terms`, I am finding the aching less and less, and when it does occur I just spend a few minutes doing the exercises and it really helps. And I feel so much better in myself for spending 1hour a week on me.
