Charlene

Back in 2006 I had a serious car accident leaving me with life changing injuries. When I was on the mend my physio advised me to take up pilates. She recommended john as she knew he was medically aware having been a paramedic, so he was in a great position to advise on the best exercise for me. I have been attending john’s class ever since. It has helped me maintain my core fitness , stretched and worked all my muscles and more importantly help keep my joint supple. I have learnt to breathe properly which I use as a relaxation technique as well as aiding my pilates exercising . Along these last 12 years that I have been attending johns pilates class, I have met some lovely people and made good friends to. I recommend john to all my friends and even random strangers who happen to talk to me about exercise . John has a lovely, good , fun nature but likes to achieve the best out of his class that you can.

I used to suffer with neck and shoulder pain. I have always worked in a office. I have spent lots of money on physios and chiropractors with no long benefit. I started pilaters with john 6 years ago and I haven’t needed my physio since. The classes are varied and everyone is so friendly. I no longer suffer with headaches and my sleep is much better. Everyone should do pilates

John has been my pilates instructor for several years now, and I still enjoy his classes as much as when I first joined them. John is a skilled pilates teacher and is supportive of all the class members. He has helped me improve both my core strength and fitness levels. A real bonus is johns sense of humour, which means that I always find the classes welcoming.

Marilyn 69

Been attending john’s classes for 10 years now. I do two classes a week. I find the exercises really beneficial when my hip was bad and post op. also for my general physical and mental wellbeing. We also have a lot of fun.

Bev

Have been at pilates for the last 4 years. I find it an excellent class. It has improved my balance and core strength immensely. It helps with my lower back pain. I find I feel well all over when I leave class on a Friday.it even helps with my singing, due to breathing techniques we use, movements can be adjusted to suit any ability, but none are so difficult that you need to be double jointed, I love it.

Judie

In the September I started John’s Pilates class and I started going every week to John’s class. I had been to other classes, but they weren’t right for me. John makes the class fun, they are varied and a laugh plus the other people are really friendly and supportive. Then in the April I was admitted to hospital and had open heart surgery. John regularly sent me supportive messages after he found out I was in hospital. In the June, John gave me a programme of gentle exercises to do at home although I couldn’t return to Pilates until I had recovered fully. Then at the end of July I happily returned to weekly classes. Six months later I was also diagnosed with Osteoporosis of the spine for which Pilates is very good. I now usually attend John’s class twice a week and feel all the better for it. I enjoy the classes although they are often hard work and being part of a great and supportive group of friends. I will be 70 years old in a couple of months and have been going to John’s classes for two and a half years and plan to continue. John is a great Pilates teacher, and it is also very reassuring that he is an ex-paramedic!
