I came to see Ann from a recommendation by a friend. I am a runner and had recently found out I had a bulging disc, reason for the amount of pain I was experiencing when trying to run!
Ann did an appraisal on me, instructed me to stop running, and helped me develop the muscles I needed to run pain free. It is now not even a year later and I am back to running 3 times a week – pain free!!! I am still doing my personal training sessions with Ann and can’t see me stopping real soon. I can not put into words the gratitude I feel for Ann for getting me back to what I love doing.
Thank you Ann from the bottom of my heart!

When I joined the Pilates Group, I was suffering from a prolonged back injury. I did not know at the time how damaged my lower back was.
After two years I progressed to the next level, and so on, and now I have no problems in this area. I have been attending weekly for 6 years and am now about to start my 7th year. My age is 72 years.
Thank you Ann, for your individual time and energy that you have given each and everyone who requires it during the sessions.

Ann has been my personal trainer since 2003. She motivates and encourages me with new exercise programs and, by introducing new pieces of equipment, constantly challenges my body and mind.
Under her direction I have been able to set my goals of trekking the Annapurna Circuit and attempt Island Peak in Nepal.
In the workplace I know I am more physically fit and mentally alert than some of my younger colleagues - I owe this to Ann.

Thanks to Ann, Pilates in not only a weekly exercise session, it is part of my everyday life. Ann is passionate about the benefits of pilates. This is evident when attending her classes. For diversity she introduces new exercises while including old favourites, she continually checks our form to make sure it is as close to perfect as we can get it and she inspires us to push ourselves a little bit harder. A pilates session leaves me feeling invigorated, relaxed and strong. Attending Ann’s personal training sessions, I have had the added benefit of using the Reformer and getting some one on one advice that I take with me to the group sessions. I also use this knowledge in my day to day activities and apply it to other forms of exercise. When I started pilates with Ann, I knew I had found a discipline that really works and knew I would be in it for the long haul.

Pilates is as hard as you want to make it. I can come in tired from work and come out feeling great. It is a really good whole body work out and it results in a really good night’s sleep. Ann makes you aware of your posture (which has helped in my everyday life) and doing pilates helps you understand why your body feels like it does.
