“Lianne runs the Pilates studio with a great mix of professionalism and fun! There is something for everyone. I have been going to classes for over 15 years. Lianne has guided me through post natal Pilates, back injury and after surgery.

I have been able to dip in and out of a variety of classes from beginner to advanced. I would recommend all of the classes. Lianne keeps up to date with the latest training and developments in Pilates.”

“I have been taking classes with Lianne and her other equally excellent Pilates teachers for 18yrs and can’t imagine ever giving up. My back pain is long forgotten and my posture and core strength are really good.

When I broke my wrist, Lianne tailored exercises to suit and has always remembered my old injury as she does with everyone in the class.

With the lockdown, Zoom classes have been wonderful and she has given up a lot of her time to ensure we all stay fit and strong.”

“I’ve been doing Pilates for about 15 years and found the Pilates Studio 4 years ago. It was like a breath of fresh air!

There is always a great atmosphere. The classes are so friendly and welcoming, not only all the instructors, but the class members too. Lianne and her team of instructors are highly trained with an in-depth Knowledgeable about human physiology and have helped me greatly to increase my strength and fitness. They always offer alternative exercises if you have an injury or if you want to push yourself to another level, whilst checking that everyone is doing everything correctly throughout the class.

There is lots of variation each week, so the classes remain fresh. Lianne has bent over backwards since lockdown with a wide range of Zoom classes, that have been invaluable, at times and levels to suit everyone. Can’t recommend the Pilates Studio enough!!”

“Learning how to live with Rheumatoid Arthritis has been a thirty-five-year journey filled with prescriptive drugs, painkillers and physiotherapy.  When Pilates was suggested as a way to stay on top of Rheumatoid rather than just managing the day to day discomfort, I thought I’d give it a go and had no idea what to expect.  Lianne’s advert in Optima over 12 years ago, prompted me to make an appointment…and I have never looked back!

After a few weeks of one to one sessions, my mobility was improving and I was able to stop physio, and for the first time give up the pain killers.

When it comes to my welfare, I lack self-discipline, work always comes first – so the consistent commitment with Lianne is paramount to my wellbeing.

I feel very confident in recommending Lianne to anyone, as she is very professional and really knows her stuff.  No two sessions have ever been the same in all these years, and her attention to detail on how the body works is exceptional, and she clearly explains how to deal with the issues that arise from time to time.

Her kind, caring and thoughtful nature always puts me at ease, feeling safe to ask any questions, and her outstanding knowledge and enthusiasm has maintained and optimised my joint mobility since our first session.”

“Lianne’s class keep me moving and keep me laughing. She always offers good alternatives when your body just doesn’t want to do what you would like it to do.

She has supported me every step from having back surgery through to being able to do things I couldn’t do before.”

“Would recommend for a very happy and relaxed exercise class, giving superb teaching in a stress-free and friendly environment. No judgement, only encouragement.”

Pilates gives me an hour where I can forget about the outside world and focus on me.

Pilates enables me to hold a good posture and strengthen muscles that are weak and often ache. I leave the class feeling so much better after a great workout.

Without Pilates, I would go crazy! It keeps me sane, helps so much with breathing and flexibility, and gives me some ‘me’ time.

I’ve been grateful for my Pilates classes, in a recent fall fracturing my kneecap, the doctor treating me commented how fit I am at 84 and forecast a full recovery. The exercises undoubtedly have kept me mobile. Can’t wait to start again.

Pilates is fun, keeps me flexible and strengthens muscles to protect old injuries. It also encourages me to try and chieve/maintain a healthy weight.

Pilates helps to build the strength and flexibility to correct and maintain good posture.

Pilates provides confidence for mind and body, inner peace, pain management, slowing down and focusing on movement.

Pilates helps with increased muscle strength and tone, whole body fitness, increased range of joint motion and fabulous for my body and mind generally.

Pilates ensures I can participate in sports and activities without getting injured. Before Pilates I spent a fortune at the physio clinic, but with Pilates in my life there is no need. 

Pilates helps me lots with a tight lower back. Since starting Pilates my back has been so much better!

Taking time out for Pilates is good for mental health and the core strength good for other sports and activities.

Pilates definitely helps posture (makes me feel taller!). Good workout for those that don’t like high impact.

Stops me feeling old!! And hopefully maintains my muscle mass.

I first came to Liane recovering from sciatica and you absolutely helped to sort me out. I feel so much better every week after coming to a session. 

Somehow you manage to make me feel like I have a 1 to 1 class even when the room is full. Everytime I have an injury (of which there have been many) you find a way to help me by tailoring the exercises to suit.

I started Pilates 19 years ago. I’d been suffering from intermittent lower back pain and thought I’d give it a go. I’ve never looked back. I cannot imagine my life without Pilates.
