PILATES WITH GRACE

What the clients are saying

 

"Dear Grace, it was such a pleasure meeting you and being able to have had a few sessions while I was in London last week. I am so glad to finally have found a great studio and an awesome teacher like you. I have been doing Pilates for quite a while, and I do appreciate when a teacher can really 'read' the students' body and ability; and then tailor the practice. That was exactly what you did on our sessions, and I truly loved it. You are a great teacher Grace, and be sure I am coming back to you every time I come to London from now on. Thank you very much!"

“I finally began Pilates after recovering from two concurrent slipped discs, even after my first lesson with Grace I felt as if I walked a little taller. The sessions are hard work yet fun, her analogies and descriptions make me smile whilst helping me understand exactly what I am supposed to be doing with my body. Grace encourages me to push myself further than I thought possible, she is an incredibly positive instructor who makes me believe that I will achieve my goal.”

“This is the first time I’ve ever managed to stick with an exercise commitment. I genuinely look forward to my Pilates classes. Over the months I have definitely seen changes to my body and have much more muscle definition and my bad shoulder and neck are things of the past. But it’s not just the physical health benefits I appreciate, but also the camaraderie of the groups – we sweat and strain but we also laugh a lot and (swear a bit!!) Having never done Pilates before I was initially quite apprehensive about how rubbish I’d be but it’s not scary at all and the atmosphere is welcoming, irreverent and fun. No one takes themselves too seriously – Grace makes sure of that!”

“I've had the pleasure and benefit of having Grace teach me Pilates for nearly a year now. Having done Pilates for 25 years or more Grace's teaching technique surpasses all others.”

“I was training for a marathon and needed to build my core strength. As a middle aged man who hadn’t done much exercise in 20 years the prospect was quite daunting. However Grace made it easy and fun introducing the basic principles of classic Pilates and slowly, almost imperceptibly, introducing more complex parts of the routine over time. Grace clearly knows her subject, is a terrific teacher always keeping the classes fresh and varied and her bespoke studio situated in the basement of her home is a peaceful and wonderful place to work. I can’t recommend Grace highly enough.”

“Grace has trained me for a few different occasions: preparing me for the biggest day of my life and getting me in tip top shape for my wedding, and now she has so wonderfully adapted the class to suit my current needs whilst being pregnant with my second child. She if very flexible and can prepare a class to suit everyone’s needs, and I feel she has been a great assist in my life. I highly recommend her.”

“I have been a Pilates disciple for close to two years now. I am a naturally uncoordinated person, and was always very average at sport. With Grace, Pilates makes sense: it’s great fun, and she knows (even in a group lesson) exactly how to push you that little bit further (there’s pain, but with a few laughs thrown in). Grace is passionate about Pilates and about life. It is a real pleasure spending two hours a week with her.”

“I’ve dipped my toe into various types of exercise, gym, running, swimming and yoga, but I can honestly say that the fastest results I’ve ever seen are since practicing Pilates. My bum has lifted and everything feels tighter and toned. Training with Grace is great. Her personable style makes the class enjoyable and before you know it, you’re working harder than you ever thought you could.’

“It’s because I loathe exercise and always have done that I can appreciate just how far I’ve come. By pure chance I heard about Grace last year so, with low expectations and great reluctance, I began Pilates. How did I get to here where I’m hooked and arranging twice weekly sessions? Grace has a twinkle in her eye and somehow manages to charm me into giving my all. I moan all the way through, but from the outset she assured me that after ‘10 sessions I’d feel the difference, 20 see the difference, and by 30 have a new body’. I’m very proud to say it works.”
