The Pilates Centre Testimonials

The doctor suggested I try Pilates after going with pain in my hip. I tried some private lessons to practice the breathing, then started the classes. It is one of the best things I have done for myself. I actually feel I am walking taller when I come out of the studio. Cathryn is a brilliant teacher.

I joined Pilates not knowing quite what to expect. I have found Cathryn's classes both relaxing and fun. Cathryn is very professional always advising the best way to do the exercises if anyone is suffering from problems eg back/neck/leg.She explains the correct way to carry out the exercises. I would highly recommend these classes. Certainly value for money.

Having attended many different pilates classes in Wrexham and Chester I can genuinely say that The Pilates Centre offers the best in the area.

I look forward to going every week and always leave feeling relaxed and refreshed, as well as knowing that I have worked all my muscles.

Cathy is an excellent instructor who will always give you the one-on-one attention you need in a pilates class.

I thourouhly recommend that you go to The Pilates Centre!

I had tried Pilates a few times through local gyms but had found them to be very large groups and not very good tuition when I needed extra help/attention following a longstanding shoulder/neck injuries. My acupuncturist recommended Cathryn's class and I've been going regularly for over a year. After about 6 classes I had made a great improvement to my posture generally but also I was able to move my neck/shoulders more freely and with less pain and I have continued to get better and stronger. I really look forward to the class as it is friendly and supportive, and Cathryn ensures that exercises are tailored to your ability, so that you progress at your own speed. Thank you Cathryn!

Total professionalism, warm and friendly, total relaxation. Get fit, tone and stretch. Make the time, its worth it!

Cathryn has taken the very best from Alan Herdman, the UK's foremost Pilates teacher, and blended it with her own personality and ideas to to create classes that are both physically stimulating and extremely friendly. Although there can be anything from 10 to 15 people in a class you always come away feeling you have had one-to-one attention. This means that everyone gets the maximum out of each session. The other attraction is that she does it all for a quarter of the price of London classes.

I had tried several different Pilates classes before finding the Pilates Centre. Cathy is the best instructor I have come across, she has an excellent teaching style giving everyone individual attention during the session to help you get the best out of a class. She is also very caring and uses her extensive knowledge to offer alternative exercises for people with difficulties. The Pilates studio is a nice relaxing environment with all the equipment needed already there for you and there are several classes suitable for all levels during the week to choose from. If you are thinking of trying Pilates then I would highly recommend trying The Pilates Centre first. Thanks Cathy! Louise E

I really enjoy this time away from every day life and the gentle yet very physical challenges that Pilates presents. Cathryn is an able instructor, who deals with each person's weaknesses individually, and carefully. The studio is pleasant and i think it is great value for money too!

I have been attending the Pilates Center for a number of years, and I look forward to the Class. Cathryn is a very good teacher as she encourages you to achieve your best. She always demonstrates how to accomplish different techniques, and gives praise no matter how feeble your attempts may be. The class is relaxing and I personally feel I have a better posture, and less back pain. The facilities are good, and I can really unwind and forget the worries that build up each day. I would definately recommend The Pilates Centre to friends; as beginners, improvers or advanced classes are ran by Cathryn throughout the week.

There is always a warm welcome when you visit the pilates centre. Cathy has a lovely, soothing voice to help wash away the stresses of your day. It is a time when you can focus on yourself (for a change!), and the stretches and exercises are great, ridding you of those niggling back aches. Well done Cathy!

Cathryn is welcoming to new members, offering a professional and friendly service. Cathryn is extremely knowledgeable and offers personalised advice. I have worked at my own pace from beginners to advanced classes and have noticed an improvement in my posture and decrease in pain. I would recommend, and do frequently, joining Cathryn's Pilates classes. SuzanneB

Cathryn was recommended to me by a physiotherapist. For a number of years I suffered and ignored lower back pain particularly when walking and when I eventually got it checked out was told that my poor posture was to blame. I have been doing pilates with Cathryne for 12 months now and am happy to say that my posture has improved significantly and I no longer suffer with lower back pain. I highly recommend Pilates with Cathryn to anyone - what ever your fitness level. She assesses your individual needs and limitations and helps you to improve your weak areas. I'm hooked and will keep taking her classes. Thank you Cathryn. Sandra

A great, friendly Pilates centre offering both a professional service and personalised advice in a relaxed atmosphere.

I was recommended to Pilates by my Chiropractor.
He told me all of my muscles needed retraining to do what they were supposed to do and Pilates was the very thing I needed.
At the time I was finding everyday living a real struggle so I joined Cathryn's classes and I am now back enjoying my walking again.
We are all treated as indiduals and learn at our own pace and another bonus is Cathryn and her ladies are a delight to be with.

I have suffered from chronic back pain for some years and after trying numerous and expensive 'cures' to no avail I gave Pilates a go. Cathryn took time out to find out about my particular problems and customised the exercises so that I could get the best out of the classes. She is extremely knowledge about her craft and is able to show all class members exercises particular to their individual requirements.I highly recommend The Pilates Cente to anyone with joint pain!!
