I have been attending Anne’s Pilates classes continuously since 2013, initially when they were held in person and subsequently during/after Covid via Zoom when I also joined her Somatics class as well. Anne is a wonderful teacher with an extremely loyal following! She has the knack of putting everyone at their ease and teaching her classes in a way that suits all levels of experience without making anyone feel uncomfortable if they feel the level might be too advanced for them. She explains everything really clearly and as a visually impaired person I find this invaluable as I am easily able to follow all her instructions without necessarily being able to see her very clearly. She is always careful to watch and point out any errors, without singling anyone out! I have been through some difficult times over the past few years and I can honestly say that Anne’s classes are the one thing that kept me going, both physically and mentally. They are so enjoyable and you always feel really great afterwards! Shelagh M
I have started Pilates classes many years ago. Recently I moved, with age, to gentle Pilates with Anne and will continue for as long as I can. After an hour of the class I feel energetic, relaxed and mobile. My joints have a new lease of life, like new. What I most admire about Anne’s sessions is the variety. Never a class is the same as the other. Each session Anne targets a special area in the body. She works us out gently to release the trapped and the stiff joints and muscles in that area in addition to working out the whole body from head to toes.
During the hour, which passes very quickly, I get in touch with my body noting the released parts and the stiff parts which helps me addressing and correcting in my daily movements and activities.
Thank you Anne and may we continue for a long time. - Lama Harb
I really enjoy my weekly Pilates session with Anne, her gentle manner and voice is a little oasis in a busy week and my body definitely feels a lot stronger and more flexible. - Mary C
I’ve attended Anne’s pilates classes for a number of years and found Anne’s approach creative, fun and inventive. She has a calm, methodical approach and a great sense of humour. Ken
I have always enjoyed Ann’s classes. Over the 12 years that I have been regularly attending her classes (in person before the pandemic, online since), I have come to appreciate her calm and thorough approach. The classes are always well thought through and the beginnings and endings ensure that your body always feels better after a class. I can safely say that my posture has improved significantly since I started. Having experienced other Pilates teachers, I find that Anne’s approach is the one that I am most compatible with. – Jared T
I have been attending Ann’s classes for five years, and online since the Covid pandemic. I have found that participating in classes from home more convenient and far more personalised. Her instruction is clear and easy to follow, with alternatives given for exercises, depending on one’s level or how your body feels that day ( I found this particularly helpful following a beast surgery procedure). Ann is warm, knowledgeable and professional and I highly recommend you book a class and experience this for yourself! Cathie
Anne's Pilates classes are always thoughtfully designed, varied and effective.
I have been doing them for over 5 years now and my mobility and core strength are hugely improved. I rarely have any back pain these days and feel fit and agile.
She introduces exercises that are new to me all the time which helps to make the classes interesting as well as effective. Jennie
For me starting the day with one of Anne’s Pilates classes is an absolute pleasure, I feel ready to face the day ahead.
I joined Anne’s classes originally at my local leisure centre. When the pandemic kicked in we resorted to online classes. She is an excellent teacher and always makes every session stimulating. I particularly enjoy our Wednesday Somatic session which has vastly improved my posture. Highly recommend her classes. Nora Williams
I've been taking Anne's pilates' classes for over 5 years - they're a fantastic way to stretch all your muscles and as well as your core. They're really inclusive too as Anne gives 2 or 3 options for each exercise so everyone can get the most suitable work out for their own body. I've tried many different teachers and Anne is the best by far. Sim Wignall
Anne is an amazing teacher. I have attended her classes for 12 years now, they are always fresh and give a thorough workout every time. She is very intuitive and adjusts the movements to individual needs. Cannot recommend highly enough! Sarah
I never want to do Pilates with anyone but Anne. It's not just that she's so skilled and knowledgable, or that the class is never repetitive or same-y, but she teaches with such warmth, fun, openness and generosity. She's attuned to everyone in her class and manages to gear each section of each class towards the varying needs of those attending. I'd always been a reluctant Pilates attendee, until I began working with Anne. And finally I have (something like) a core! Marion
