                                  Kinetic Pilates Has Changed My Life

                                  Pilates has become a way of life for me - in more ways than one!

                                  Pilates Changed My Body Shape

                                  I was always very fit and active, and engaged in a variety of sports (cycling, swimming, yoga, jogging) and could not understand why my body was chunky in all the wrong places. Pilates has changed my body shape for the better - I still have a way to go, but I understand now I have been using the wrong muscles and am in the midst of retraining the right ones.

                                  Pilates is Helping Me Recover From a Back Injury

                                  My sporting career came to a sudden stop and I hobbled into the studio after a serious lower back injury and two months off work. Physiotherapy and osteopathy were invaluable throughout the first stages of rehabilitation and I was left with an exercise program to carry on with.

                                  Despite this, I still found I could no longer do all of the sports I wanted, socialize or work without triggering lumbar spasm. Being an Occupational Therapist, and ironically a back care advisor in the NHS, I was very anxious that I was going to have serious back problems forever.

                                  I recommenced Pilates with Rebecca, and within a few months was finding my back, and therefore my daily life, much better. I'm now doing things with my body that I never could have imagined possible! Pilates is not a therapy, but it certainly assists in rehabilitation from injury by working everything around the injury.

                                  These Pilates Teachers Are Really Well Trained

                                  With Rebecca's help I have now started the teacher training program and fully realise the extremely high level of training that Rebecca, James and other Romana´s Pilates teachers have behind them. It is HARD!!!!!!!

                                  As an experienced health professional who has worked with people with injury and illness for at least 15 years, I can reassure you that Romana´s Pilates trained teachers know what they are doing and have a high level of education.

                                  Kinetic Pilates – My Pilates Studio

                                  As I spend a lot of time at the studio, I see Rebecca and James teaching a wide range of people of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds. I can confidently say (and without bias I promise!) they are fantastic teachers and people enjoy their sessions. Rebecca and James have the perfect balance: they are supportive and friendly, but able to get your butt moving with one look, phrase or threatening fingertip!
