"Three years ago I was extremely unfit, had poor posture and became very short of breath and very tired after walking a short distance. On learning I had osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, my doctor recommended that I commence pilates to help me with these problems. I commenced pilates at Pilates Body, initially having one lesson per week and gradually increased to three lessons per week. I am now able to walk a considerable distance more quickly without shortness of breath and with good posture. My doctor, family, friends and I attribute the remarkable turnaround in my general health, energy, fitness and mobility, including my range of movement, to the pilates. Also, I recently had a knee replacement and my surgeon believes my recovery has been enhanced due to my participation in pilates. It is a great pleasure to attend Pilates Body as my teachers, James and Ashley, are very professional. They are also kind, attentive, very friendly and take an active interest in your welfare."

"Hi, I'm delighted to share with you my experience at The Pilates Body. When I started a year ago I had alot of pain in my neck and left shoulder that none of the physio's that I visted in Australia and oversea's could fix. After a few classes I started feeling much better and now the problem has completely gone. It's amazing to notice how my body has changed in just one year: I have more strength, flexibility, stability, a leaner body and what is more important I have found the balance between my body, soul and life. Ashley and James are friendly and caring people, and I don't know how but they make each class different, you never get bored!"

"I have been attending classes at The Pilates Body for the past couple of years. Initially my participation was driven by the need to address a reoccurring back injury. Overtime I have found that my back has become stronger through the development of my core strength and that pilates compliments other sporting activities such as running and cycling through increased comfort and improved balance. The team at The Pilates Body have always been happy to modify aspects of the weekly routines in the event of different pre-existing conditions or injuries and encourage progression at a safe and comfortable pace."

"Ashley and James through their specialized pilates classes have helped me return to swim training and general everyday activities without fear of breakdown.
Before l started Pilates when I tried to get back to regular swim training sessions of 3-4 KM, 4 times per week, I found that within several weeks I would get muscle soreness and pain which lead me to dropping out of sessions and eventually no exercise at all.
The Pilates Body has strengthened my entire body, giving me greater range of movement, something l have not experienced since my teens."

"The Pilates Body Studio has been instrumental in Improving my core strength and flexibility. I particularly enjoy the "Fletcherwork" and the variety of exercises wether it is floor work, towel work or utilising the Pilates equipment. The instructors are extremely knowledgable and friendly and the small group classes allow for individual assistance. It invigorates the body and the mind."
