Simon Parker Pilates, Gillingham

My taster session with Simon was excellent. I wanted to try Pilates because I was starting to experience a succession of aches and pains which were getting me down. At the taster I could go at my own pace and was given encouragement and a variety of options if I wanted to challenge myself. The quiet atmosphere was soothing and the overall ethos was very enjoyable. I left feeling calm, in control and very much looking forward to going again. I went to the session not knowing anyone or having experienced Pilates and felt welcomed and included throughout.

I have struggled for years with back pain and find Pilates great at keeping my back strong. I found Simon's Pilates classes on Facebook and went along to my first free class where everyone was so welcoming. Simon is a very good instructor and I have to say I think his classes are the best I have taken part in for strengthening your back and core muscles. He is very approachable if you have any questions. I know starting a new class is a bit daunting but you will find his classes are very friendly and the benefits of stopping the aches and pains are worth it.

Really pleased with this pilates group. I originally tried the taster session, loved it so much i signed up to the 12 week plan, which in turn ive now become a member. Would highly recommend, Simon's friendly and very engaging with the group, explains the different positions, the benefits, and gives you different options to try. Would also say its nice to see men of all ages doing this class.

After many years of gym workouts, aerobic classes, and martial arts my body started to revolt with aching joints easily damaged tendons and ligaments taking a long time to heal. When you develop ailments that limit your enjoyment of everyday life and your hobbies you look for a resolution. I tried physiotherapy, osteopathy, and massage, but none gave me the long-term results I was looking for. It wasnt until my wife persuaded me to join her on a 12-week beginners Pilates course with Simon that I started to see a steady, but noticeable improvement with my lower back, neck, shoulder, and sciatica issues. I must admit I was initially sceptical as the movements and positions were alien new to me and Im not a great advocate of change, but Im now 8 months into my Pilates journey and I benefit from and enjoy class. If like me, you have physical ailments I would certainly encourage you to join one of Simons beginner classes and then at your own pace move onto more varied levels and increased intensity. Keep up the good work Simon
