The 4-week intro block to Barre is an excellent way to work on strength, balance, flexibility and even get your heart rate up in a safe, low-impact format. It was a very welcoming group and I’d say it’s an accessible exercise for most people.

Sam adapted all of her classes to suit my needs. Being over 3 years postpartum, I didn’t feel like I shouldn’t be there. Instead, I felt empowered and achieved great results.

I would recommend to anyone pre or post natal regardless of how long it’s been since birth.

Classes with Sam are really enjoyable, with a carefully planned level of challenge for folks who want to improve their core strength and flexibility. Very professional and knowledgeable teaching yet fun!

Since returning from my travels, I have received 1-1 sessions with Sam, who is incredibly knowledgeable, and so warm and welcoming. Sam was immensely supportive of me trying to get back into exercise after suffering from back pain. I feel 100% relaxed in her safe hands as I work to strengthen my body in her classes and 1-1 sessions and find a way to exercise that will not hurt my back. The difference I have noticed after just three 1-1 sessions has been greater than I ever could have anticipated and has given me a fantastic base to build upon. I am excited to now attend Sam’s classes regularly.

Having now completed 5 one to one sessions with Sam for bladder prolapse problems, I am delighted to say that my symptoms have all but disappeared!

No more night time visits to the loo and by day, much less frequency and urgency – amazing (especially at the age of 74!)

Sam was very helpful, professional and friendly throughout and I feel very fortunate to have been helped by her.

Following back-surgery, I have been coming to the Pilates Seniors classes for a couple of years. I have found these sessions of huge benefit in strengthening my core and so lessening pressure on the back. The classes are led in an atmosphere of serene purpose and thoughtful awareness and there is always great sensitivity to individual needs

I was mentored by Sam through the Freedom Fertility Formula. Not only did the methods I learn help me to remember and embrace the things I love in life and start enjoying living in the wait but it was also so great to have a mentor who is such a genuinely lovely person, so open about her own journey and genuinely caring to talk to at any point

I’ve been going to classes with Sam for a couple of years now and my favourite class is definitely Barre. I love the music, the moves and the challenge it gives me. My strength, stamina, coordination and balance have all improved and I would recommend Barre for all

I’ve attended both pregnancy and postnatal Pilates with Sam, and I really enjoyed both. The pregnancy class gave me the confidence to think positively about the birth experience and the postnatal class helped me to recover, to feel in good shape and to strengthen my pelvic floor again.

Sam is a hugely supportive teacher and the classes were always the right balance of challenge, relaxation and fun. I would definitely recommend the classes to other expectant and new mums.

Aside from the physical and mental health benefits I felt, I really appreciated meeting other mums and their little ones, and being able to share experiences.

Pilates with Sam is a lovely way to exercise and be relaxed. It is my happy hour on a Monday evening. What more could you ask for when focusing on your core strength and balance in Pilates.”

The 4 week intro block to Pilates is for all ages. I would definitely recommend giving it a go to help posture and core muscles. It makes you think about your own body and how Pilates can help you.

Sam was very reassuring. She talked us through each step with ease, and was very accommodating to those that were less able.

My First Aid session with Sam was really helpful. it was good to have a reminder to press pause on the overwhelm and notice the small steps and techniques that will help make a difference to bring me back to neutral

Learning to breathe properly (at the age of 67!) not only helps to reduce any tension I may be feeling but has also made me more aware of both my muscle action and spinal movement. Likewise, discovery of my “core” and the way it affects not only my stomach but also my sides, back and hips, has also been positive and has encouraged me not to hunch my shoulders but to keep an upright posture not only during exercises but in everyday movement.

Sam’s classes are friendly, welcoming with expertise and enthusiastic instruction. There are benefits for everyone, from warding off creakiness to really building up strength and alignment. I thoroughly recommend her classes.
