Pilates had been on my radar ever since I first saw it demonstrated, but living a frenetic life I never managed to fit it in, until of course my back got into a really bad situation (a slipped disc from too much driving : seat manufacturers have a lot to answer for : and then compounded by a cartoonesque fall on the ice). I am now attending Anne's classes regularly and having regular acupuncture treatment at The Dell Centre with Chris Byrne, and behold my back is significantly improved! It's a slower recovery than I might like, but at 73, what can you expect?
"Having started Pilates after a year of pelvic pain, I can now walk reasonable distances again, and I also have much less neck and shoulder pain, a better posture and a flatter stomach! JB, 65 by the way."
"What I really love about these classes is the changing routines. You don't get stuck in a rut and Angie builds in progression. Without realising it you get stronger and stronger."
"I started Pilates because I had neck and shoulder problems. I had been through 6 months of physio and joined a beginners class to sort things out long term. I've hardly had any problems since."
"These classes are friendly and non-competitive. Exercises are explained at different levels of challenge."
"I am so much more flexible and fitter than 6 years ago when I had sciatica.
