Sam’s classes are focused, well prepared and different each week. She gives different levels for all abilities, and she is hands on with getting people into the correct position.

Sam also gives ongoing information about how each move and position is helping areas of the body and skeleton. Other Pilates classes I’ve been to had a more ‘do as I do’ approach, with no other input. By comparison, Sam’s classes are personal, informative and tailored to the individual which is why I keep coming back!

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

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.

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

We really enjoy our annual trip (now our third visit) to St Andrews and Sam’s classes. The tailored classes for our girls weekend are hard to beat. I can’t think of anywhere else that could match what you do – it was another great experience and my aching muscles reminded me that not only was it fun, it did me some good too.

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.”

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 am delighted to say that my bladder prolapse symptoms have all but disappeared! No more night time visits to the loo and by day, much less frequency and urgency – amazing (especially a the age of 74!!)
Sam was very helpful, professional and friendly throughout and I feel very fortunate to have been helped by her.

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!

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.

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.

‘Happy Feet, Happy Hips’ day retreat was such a treat to embark on! Taking time out to focus and concentrate on the fundamentals was invigorating.

The home goody bag, the course, and the exercises meant we could really incorporate everything we’d learnt into our daily lives.

I would love to come back for more!

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.

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.
