I find it both gentle on my body as well as challenging and strengthening. It’s also the only exercise where my focus is entirely on what I’m doing at that present moment.

The studio is lovely; has the latest equipment, the rooms are clean and airy, as well as warm/cold depending on the season. They have everything I may need from hairbands to showers and the online booking system enables me to book or cancel a class straight from my phone. They also offer different packages and the more flexible option works for me as I often have work commitments.

I’ve continued with Pilates at moveOn 89 for so many years as they have the most amazing instructors. They really focus on the individual – even in a group environment, they are encouraging and keep the classes both interesting and challenging. And after so many years I’m still learning and improving!I do both group mat classes and private equipment sessions where the latter is focused entirely on my body and what I need. Also working with the resistance on the machines has improved my quality of movement and technique.A friend of mine started Pilates a year ago and recently told me that it’s changed her life. I feel the same, one of the best decisions I continue to make.”
