Hi Alison, Im still finding the Online classes great for me. I like them all but have enjoyed seeing my progress with the strength classes. Your adaptations for re-habbing my wrist have been great.

Hi Alison, just wanted to say thanks and Merry Christmas, for the first time in 10 years I’ll be starting the new year without regularly taking pain killers for my hip pain, which is down to being able to do so much Pilates, so I’m thinking well every cloud.....

Thank you! I Just wanted to say thank you for teaching us on your holiday! Also thank you so much for all you have done for us with the zoom classes 😀 They work so well & I'm sure you have helped a lot of people mentally, as well as physically, over the last 6 months. Seeing you and exercising every day will really have helped those who are alone/not working. We really appreciate you & your classes 😀 xx

I would like to say thank you for a lovely pilates lesson. I was at the end of my tether before I went in, due to the amount off pain I have been in over the last week. My sciatic nerve was driving me insane. Whatever this something>>>>point pilates (I can't remember the name). By the end of the lesson I was out of pain and walking. All my Dr wanted to do was increase my morphine. So thank you So very much. You are the best. Cant wait for next lesson.xxxx and no side effects lol and you have kept me alive for another week.

'Well! Trigger Point Pilates! What can I say? My back was killing me. I attended one session of Trigger Point and became so pain free, I went home and re-arranged the furniture! I have now gotten my own set of prickly balls and foam roller and use them regularly for myofascial release!'

"I started attending Alison's Modern Pilates class a few months ago and the results were quite impressive. I have done Pilates previously, but since I joined Alison's class I realised that I was not doing it right and how important it is to do it properly.I can not thank her enough for all the expert advice and teaching she provides us consistently in the class every week. Alison is very passionate and dedicated professional and a very bright and lovely person to be around. I would definitely recommend Alison to anyone who is seeking to do Pilates and benefit from it adequately, Alison is the best instructor around!!!"

"I have suffered from low back pain for years. I started taking Alison's Modern Pilates class about 2 months ago and have had such benefits from it! Not only is my low back pain completely gone, but the rest of my body is toning up and strengthening as well. Alison's class is creative and fun and she is able to provide expert information about the exercises and the muscles we are working on. I don't know what I did without Alison's class."
