"I have
two replacement hips and have just undergone a further operation
on a revision on one of them. Fiona has helped me with my flexibility,
strength and posture. So much so, that I had a speedy and easy recovery
from my last operation.The time spent with Fiona is a joy. She explains
things really well and is always very encouraging. I find the session
very uplifting."

"Regular
Pilates gave me back the flexibility in my shoulder and after my
Pilates session I had the best night's sleep of the week. "
- MD, Swindon
"Fiona's
classes are fun and effective. She successfully creates a relaxed
atmosphere in which students of all abilities are able to learn
under her careful guidance. For me, pilates is the most complete
form of exercise. I feel that by regularly attending classes I strengthen
and tone my body, delay the ageing process and relax my mind."
- Clare Richardson, Wiltshire.
"Fiona's
lessons have really helped me especially the one to ones, now in
my dance classes I have improved my strength greatly which has been
noticed by all of my teachers and also my flexibility, this has
also helped to boost my confidence in lessons and you can really
feel yourself improving week by week."
- Georgia, Swindon.
"it's relaxing,

me!"
- Elizabeth Nardini, Swindon.
"I have
been attending Fiona's Pilates class on recommendation by my physio
after numerous running injuries. I have only been going about five
weeks but in that time I have noticed an improvement to my core
stability muscles and as a result my running technique has improved,
plus no more physio costs!! I also suffer from back ache due to
poor posture in my job and Fiona has helped me significantly improve
this. I would and have recommended this class to all."
- Anon, Swindon
"I enjoy
the sessions with Fiona as I am able to work to my own limits without
feeling under pressure, My posture is much improved and my awareness
of muscle tone and control has helped to prevent recurrence of a
long standing back problem."
- Denise, Swindon
"Pilates
has helped me with lower back / pelvic pain after the birth of my
first son. I found doing pilates in my 2nd pregnancy worked wonders."
- Anon, Swindon
"As I'd
reached a 'certain age' coupled with having an accident a few years
ago, I'd become accustomed to the aches and pains of everyday life
and accepted loss of flexibility as inevitable. Since joining Fiona's
Plates class all that has changed. It's more fun and much more varied
than the gym, and if anything, I'm moving better than ever. I drive
a lot for work and I used to dread long car journeys because of
the resulting pain in my hips and back. Now I can forget about my
age and get on with living my life."
- JF, Swindon
" I have
been attending Fiona's Pilates classes for nearly two years now
and in that time I have noticed a big difference in the strength
of my lower back which had caused me a lot of pain prior to attending
the class. My posture has greatly improved and I am able to do every
day things now without thinking about them which before were constricted
by the back pain. Classes are fun and relaxed and everybody is really
friendly. Fiona is always teaching us new exercises, which gives
us all a good variety, the hour just flies by!"
- Carrie Tiller, Swindon
"I am a
60 year old male and like many my age had let my stomach muscles
get very weak due to lack of exercise. As a consequence I developed
back pain/problems. Then I discovered Pilates and over the period
of about 6 months I noticed the improvements to my stomach and back.
I can now do the gardening much longer without all those aches and
pains. The exercises allow you to control how much effort you put
into it so it works for both men and women of all ages. I would
recommend it to anyone particularly if suffering from back pain."
- TMH, Swindon
"When Pilates
was first suggested to me by my sports injury therapist as a way
of helping sort out my ongoing back problems I was a little skeptical
but after just a few one to one classes with Fiona I started to
feel the benefits and now a year later I consider it a must in keeping
me pain free and is a vital part of my exercise program, quite simply
it has changed my life on a day to day basis from tying my shoes
to getting out of the car and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone
with mobility problems."
- John Scott, Swindon
