"Jo is good at interacting with us to make the situation comfortable. Not just because its up close and personal but also her way of explaining the improvements we can make. Also adapting to the individual needs. My understanding of movement and my body and how to manage it are much better."

"Jo has been my Pilates instructor for a number of years now. Having had previous instructors I believe Jo's techniques, attention to detail and her way of translating the movement to individuals is outstanding. I am constantly learning new and can feel my improvement. As well as really know her stuff and being a great teacher, Jo gets to know her clients and their needs and I really enjoy my classes with her - she goes beyond the call of duty and is simply the best!"

She creates a good relaxed atmosphere and gives a good explanation for exercises, allowing people of all levels to understand what they are trying to achieve with each exercise

"Jo is an amazing teacher, who inspired me from the first day I did a class with her. She has continued to guide me at every step of my pilates journey.

Angelo
"After seeing myself on camera and not recognising myself shuffling and hunched over, I realised I had to do something about it. I started Pilates with Jo two and half years ago and after a month could notice a huge difference. My spine has opened and I have regained an inch in height and have gained good posture and feel Pilates has changed my physical life. As well as working with Jo once a week I bought my own equipment to continue to work at home on my own."
Peter
"I went to Jo having no experience of Pilates, but wanting to acquire greater flexibility and ensure that I could continue to run and play golf. I hadn't thought it would be so enjoyable, but Jo makes the physical movements easier to achieve with simple language and some interesting metaphors! It can be quite challenging but I always leave with a feeling of physical and mental wellbeing. Jo is a really experienced and proficient teacher and best of all makes Pilates really good fun.
