Function Better Fitness & Pilates Training

Feb 5th, 2023

I have just booked another 12 'one on one' sessions with Szabina. Pilates is new to me - now in my mid-sixties - but both mentally and physically with Szabina's excellent blend of her vast knowledge, patience and motivation, she has got me moving, stretching, breathing and thinking realignment - it's boosted my confidence and well-being too. Highly recommended!

Ive thoroughly enjoyed my 1 on 1 personal Pilates sessions with Szabina. She is extremely knowledgeable and I felt in very capable hands. Every session was different, challenging yet enjoyable, incorporating a variety of Pilates equipment as well. She is encouraging, helpful and personable. I could see the benefits quickly. Im looking forward to doing more sessions with her when I can!

I started working with Szabina having had surgery on my back following a herniated disc. My road to recovery was stuttering and my core strength wasnt what it needed to be. Id heard about Szabina and she came highly recommended, but Id never done Pilates before but knew it was meant to be very good for the kind of injury Id suffered. Fast forward and Ive now been working with her for several months and I genuinely feel like a different person. I have my flexibility back and, more importantly, my core strength has improved significantly. My glutes werent functioning as they should and after some focussed attention, they sprung to life and are now central to my new found strength. Ive worked with a number of trainers over the years and have high standards. Suffice to say, I felt in the safe hands of an expert in her field. Her own experiences led her to go deep into the science of core strength and it shows. She knows her stuff!! If you are in the Cotswold area and either need to repair some damage, get your body functioning better or just stay in top condition then I cant recommend her highly enough. (Just dont take my slot!!)

I have had a problems with my left knee for twenty plus years and have focused on trying to keep my left leg strong, particularly since two partial knee replacements in that knee. It has been a struggle because bodies compensate even without one realizing it and although my left knee is strong the weakness in my left leg has slowly created more and more compensations and problems in other parts of my body. Finding szabina has been a revelation. I was doing her classes at soho farmhouse for a few years which weee fantastic but only recently have I started doing one on ones with her once a week. Szabina understands the mechanics of movement and what exercises will get the right muscles to dominate in the right movement. Szabina has achieved in a few short weeks what I have not over several years. I cannot rate her highly enough. I only wish I had started with her two years earlier.
