Testimonials
___________________________________________________________________________
I am very happy to have found these classes. I go twice a week to Steve's and Andrea's classes. Both instructors are excellent. I feel energetic, I need less sleep, I feel great! The classes are highly beneficial for women and men. Andrea and Steve with the help of wonderful machines make you flexible and lean. The groups are small, you are carefully monitored and corrected, and the machine is adjusted for you taking into account your state of fitness. I highly recommend Activate Pilates to everyone of any age. - Olga L
"I developed almost constant knee pain in summer 2005. Years of physiotherapy helped me manage the problem, but it was only when I added reformer pilates into my routine that I noticed a real change.
"Activate are great about adapting exercises to help me get the most out of every class. The instructors regularly check how I'm doing, and challenge me so that my knee keeps improving. I'll never be cured but I can now do things like go for bike rides again - pilates has made so much difference." - Helen S
‘I can honestly say that for the first time in my entire life not only do I look forward to my pilates sessions but I also enjoy it while I am doing it - and I feel fab afterwards !’ – Abi C
‘I run ultra marathons and have previously struggled to avoid injury. What running takes out of me I find put back by Steve’s Activate Pilates class. The combination of strength conditioning and stretching in the classes mean I’m injury free for more of the time and can train much harder. No two classes are the same and the variation is fun and engaging. Steve is an attentive coach who is very particular about technique and tailors each class and exercise to the people in it’. – David E
“A thoroughly enjoyable way to tone up and improve flexibility. There are so many different exercises there are always plenty to choose from to challenge all abilities. The small class sizes are also something I particularly like, I know that if I’m not doing something quite right it will always be corrected quickly. After years of flitting between various forms of exercise this is by far the most enjoyable I have found, and something that I hope to continue to do for many years.”– Jo C
‘After several years of chronic and debilitating back pain, my consultant suggested I try pilates. Eighteen months of a combination of reformer and matwork have left me pain free and much more flexible (with the added benefit of a well toned body). Thanks Steve!' – Ali J
'I think it is the best form of exercise I have ever taken part in. It is different and fun.’ – Ally M
‘I see results and it is time well spent. Since the reformer elongates muscles as well as strengthens them, in 55 minutes you gain flexibility as well as muscle. It’s a very good use of time.
The real draw to the classes, however, is Steve. I have worked with five or six personal trainers in various places, and taken all kinds of classes. Steve is no doubt the most professional and attentive fitness instructor I have had. He strikes a balance and challenges without overwhelming. He notices everything about your form and alignment. He is careful and smart, all while being genuinely friendly and accommodating. I enjoy the classes.’ – Rachel M
