Fantastic studio and classes. The instructor's enthusiasm and dedication shines through and make her classes so enjoyable.
I would absolutely recommend Caroline's pilates class to anyone wanting to feel stronger and healthier. After each of my pregnancies it wasn't until I returned to Caroline's pilates that I felt I was getting back in good physical health. I also did classes with Caroline on the reformer after suffering a bulging disc. I really enjoyed working on the reformer and found greatly improved the condition of my back. Caroline's classes are always very enjoyable and I leave feeling stronger and motivated to do more.
Caroline's classes are simply superb. They are varied, creative, fun and leave you lean and limber from top to toe! 😀
I started Barre Pilates recently with the drop-in summer classes. Wow, it's a great workout with all the Pilates principles. Just what I needed as I'm trying to lose weight but also need to tone up whilst I'm doing it. I've always been a pilates fan and normally prefer the one to one sessions however Caroline makes these easy classes to follow and they are really upbeat throughout. You finish knowing you've worked hard and done good for yourself. I've just signed up for next 10 classes so it must be good.
I started in Caroline's pilates class four weeks ago. I found as I was getting into my forties that the strength was going in my body a bit. I must say first and foremost that Caroline is a very gentle person. She will not push you in any way. You can go at your own pace.
The Monday night barre class is very good. You are moving to great music and literally every muscle was worked and we have a laugh when we are trying to coordinate.
I feel strong.. After a few classes.
I find the floor class then is also brilliant for the core. The breathing takes getting used to. But, I have used the breathing in other aspects of life too.
So to sum up. Give it a try. Work at your pace. Do something for yourself. I would highly recommend it. You won't be pushed. Fab fab place.,
I started doing Pilates with Caroline about ten years ago and I have been hooked ever since! Caroline is an expert in her field and is constantly introducing new methods and techniques which make her classes dynamic and challenging - I can honestly say that I have never done the same workout twice in ten years! This year saw the introduction of the 'barre' classes to Caroline's timetable and it is truly amazing to see people becoming stronger and more lithe with each passing week.
Caroline is always energetic and professional - she never seems to have an 'off day'. Her sense of humour and easy way with people make the studio a friendly, relaxed and welcoming environment for everyone, from the absolute beginner to the athlete. There is a class suited to everyone at Pilates Lifestyle regardless of fitness level. Under Caroline's precise instruction and watchful eye Pilates will develop your core muscles and correct imbalances like no other sport can.
I would advise anyone to give Pilates Lifestyle a try. With so many different types classes and levels on the the timetable there really is something for everyone!
