Wild About Pilates

Pilates classes with Chrissie are brilliant!! She is a fully trained APPI Pilates teacher and also a Physiotherapist with the NHS and has lots of experience In both. The classes she teaches are always varied each week which makes them very enjoyable. After every exercise is explained she will walk around to make sure you are In the correct position and because the classes are small you feel you are getting Individual attention, to get the best out of the exercises you can work to which ever level you are at, either a beginner or more advanced. If you have any back or other Injuries Pilates classes with a qualified Physio 'In my opinion' are the best.

Very pleasant, enthusiastic Pilates Instructor and relaxing atmosphere. With every session I feel I have had a complete workout without the pain afterwards! I feel energised and ready to face the day in front of me.

A great Pilates class! All levels catered for as the exercises have different levels so you can work up as your fitness and strength progress week by week. A big advantage of being taken by a qualified physio is that Chrissie will adapt exercises to suit, or offer alternatives especially if you have an injury/weakness. She also makes sure you are doing the exercises correctly, as very subtle changes to your body position can have quite an effect on the muscles worked.

Every week I look forward to Chrissies pilates classes. When I first started going to classes several years ago I discovered parts of my body I never knew existed. They would carry on reminding me of their existence for several days afterwards. Over time it all got a lot easier. Theres no boredom in class as there is a good variety of exercise. Chrissie can always suggest another level to challenge you just a bit more, but if youre tired after a busy day its perfectly fine to step down a few levels. Shell also suggest alternatives when youre injured or the exercise is just not for you. Chrissie encourages you to work at a suitable level youre comfortable with and checks you are doing it all correctly. Im sure my balance and strength has improved just a wee bit.

A morning 1 hour class of Physio-led Pilates in the large and airy Gawsworth Village Hall with plenty of parking. Bit apprehensive to start with. Thanks to a torn shoulder tendon followed by lockdown it was a while since Id done any Pilates. But I neednt have worried. Chrissie gave us such a warm welcome and manages to guide our mixed ability class so that everyone can take the class at whatever speed and level they feel comfortable with. Chrissie works hard to make the sessions varied and adapts exercises to help me manage my torn tendon. Theres plenty of encouragement but we are all pushed to get the most out of the exercises. Six weeks in I feel so much better. My balance, flexibility and strength all have improved, I have more range of movement in my shoulder and less pain. What I wasnt expecting was to enjoy the sessions so much and for that hour to fly past. Chrissie is a qualified Pilates instructor and a qualified Physiotherapist and with her love of both its a perfect combination.
