Excellent and varied Pilates workout

Excellent and varied Pilates workout, works really well on Zoom - Sam always pays attention to people doing the class remotely from home, whilst teaching the in-person class. Specific suggestions are provided for varying the exercises (eg next level up or down) and how to modify exercises for anyone with injuries or pain.

Sam is a brilliant tutor

Sam is a brilliant tutor. Enthusiastic and brilliant at her job. I have recently returned to her classes after have a total knee replacement and Sam has been brilliant in giving me alternative exercises to do in her classes which has still made me part & parcel of her classes.

Pilates Fun

Sam is a great, knowledgeable, helpful and approachable Pilates instructor.
She makes Pilates fun and gives you more of a challenge, should you wish or more gentle methods should you need them.
There's always a smile on Sam's face and she'll make Pilates fun for everyone.

Oh Christine, this a so good to read, there are so many benefits to strength training at an appropriate level and even after one session we feel more inspired and energised, but after just a few we start to get stronger, more confident and motivated. I look forward to seeing your lovely smile in class. xx

Always upbeat and smiling

Sam is an excellent teacher, demonstrates everything well and checks to make sure you're in position and suggests tweaks to ensure you're doing it correctly. Always upbeat and smiling.

Hi Jan, thank you very much for the review, I am chuffed that you enjoyed the class. In some ways, Trigger Point Pilates (TPP) is my favourite class as it has so very many benefits that we don't always realise that we need in life: stress release, calming of the Vagus nerve, enhanced nerve response, decreased muscle and fascia tension for a sense of safety in our bodies, enhanced breathing, better pelvic health, hydrated fascia/connective tissue/ligaments/tendons, and all the typical benefits of Pilates like enhanced flexibility, core and pelvic floor strength, and joint mobility etc! I find it to be a magical class. xx

Fitfusion is just one of Sam’s great classes.

Sam is a great instructor. The Fitfusion class is a great mix of dynamic movement with bands and weights. The class goes so quickly, there’s lots of space and the music is great. Sam has all the kit for you but most of us being our own weights.
