What Ellies Client Are Saying
“El is both an amazing instructor and an utterly lovely person. I totally love her sessions, and feel sooo much stronger for them. I used to get back aches but they’ve completely gone since doing Pilates with El. I’ve been doing her sessions for over a year now, the longest I’ve ever stuck with an exercise group. Would absolutely recommend her!”
— Sally
“I had back problems since I was 18 years old and, after I had two big babies, my chiropractor recommended I try pilates. I can honestly say that, if I regularly attend El's sessions, I have no back pain whatsoever. She adapts the exercises so well, and is always aware of everyone's injuries, weaknesses or anything else that may affect their session. I've tried other instructors and they don't come close. I'm a total convert, really quite evangelical about it and can't recommend her enough!”
— Sarah

“Love my classes with Ellie! Ellie is a professional, knowledgeable and fun teacher. The classes are built up gradually so you can see and feel the effects of your workout. Routines are constantly changing so you never get bored!” - Maureen
“Ellie makes Pilates really enjoyable, is very thorough in explaining how the exercise is to be carried out and quick to rectify any error that I may be making. The analogies used are spot on when describing how to carry out the positions. At present all sessions are on Zoom, but this is not a problem at all.” - Jill
