I’m booked into the LIVE Online Intermediate / Advanced Pilates virtual mat class with you tonight. Genuinely really glad you’re doing these virtual live streamed sessions.  I was worried about staying healthy during the lockdown and the Youtube videos don’t work for me – way better to have you live!

What can I say? You’re a godsend, putting all this together in such a short space of time is brilliant! Needless to say, once I got over the technical hitches of Virtual LIVE Online streaming, I am thoroughly enjoying the classes and Pilates once again. Emilia’s class was great as she brings new techniques which is fun as I am always keen to try and to learn……

At this rate I might have to adopt you as my second mum, I see more of you than I do of Mum number 1!

So thank you, and I look forward to my next class with you.

I have been attending Helen’s classes for a number of years now. I find the range of classes offered and flexibility perfect for my needs. The Studio is a beautiful space and it’s location within Coolings is a bonus! Helen offers a very personal, friendly approach, backed up by a considerable amount of knowledge and experience. There is no other place I would go!

Doing Pilates for me, was a necessity as someone with a long term back condition… but the Thursday class at Shoreham with Helen is much more than that. It’s a gentle, relaxing, highly effective total body workout – The music is fantastic and for one hour, I am totally focused on doing exercise which improves my back condition, my general body tone and strength and which just simply feels great!

Over the years I have been a frequent visitor to the physio; bad posture, working on a laptop, hunching in the cold on the station. So I decided to restart Pilates and joined Helen’s class in 2014 and haven’t looked back since. She can be tough but only because she knows the level of what I can achieve and will push me to attain it. As a result, I am much more toned and fitter, with a strong core… hence the lack of return to the physio!
In 2015 my daughter finished her GCSE’s (during which exercise went out the window) and she was unhappy with her size and general fitness. I managed to drag her to Helen’s Saturday morning class where she would moan and complain and avoid any exertion. Through the enthusiasm of the group, and Helen’s encouragement and perseverance, my daughter was reintroduced to exercise as being fun and satisfying and is now a regular participant, looking forward to Saturdays. Helen’s class always brightens the day and the Saturday Bells and Balls is the perfect start to the weekend.

I have been doing reformer Pilates with Helen for about 6 months now, and I absolutely love it. The Studio is in a great location and is the perfect size for an intimate reformer session with just four machines. Helen is a brilliant teacher who quickly learns your individual strength and knows how far to push you to provide a really good and challenging workout. I really recommend reformer PIlates for anyone wanting to increase their core strength. When I was attending two classes a week, I could really see and feel a change in my body.

Having spent over twenty years trying to learn and understand Pilates, almost exclusively with one-to-one matwork teachers, it was great to find Helen who is the best of the six teachers I have had.  She explains well what muscles and body points need to be concentrated on, and which others are supposed to be relaxed.  An hour with Helen is always time well spent

I attend weekly Duos with my friend Karen. Helen’s constant encouragement gives us the confidence to progress the Pilates exercises, ensuring that even if we don’t succeed at first, with practice, we will.  Helen has great knowledge of Pilates technique and principles and also of human anatomy, and is able to describe how we should locate specific muscles, and recruit them in the exercises we do.

Having started Pilates in the Autum after a neck injury from lifting weights at a gym, I was very nervous about finding the right type of class and instructor. Helen is very professional and attentive to her clients, the focus is on technique and the fine detail. My neck, my posture and my overall well being has improved and I feel more confident to go back to exercising. Her classes are never the same and l really look forward to them. I would definitely recommend her classes, if you like Pilates, you will love working on the reformer.
