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!

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.

I want you to know that I am very sorry to be giving up my Friday morning slot in your class, I love it and I know I benefit from it. You give clear uncomplicated instructions on how to do the individual exercises and how the body moves as we complete them. You help us to visualise internally and externally. An enormous benefit is that classes are kept small, so you have time to walk around and observe as we work, giving individual help and attention to anyone who needs it. And most of all, you make the classes fun – there is always lots of laughter and a light hearted feel to them.

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

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 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.

The studio is super well equipped and easy to get to, with plenty of parking, lovely surroundings and coffee shop on site. Helen is a careful and safe instructor, giving precise instruction on how to use the apparatus.Exercises are based upon ability and progressed to suit. We have both seen big improvements in strength and posture since coming to the studio. I cannot recommend Helen and her studio more highly.

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.

I’ve been doing mat Pilates for years, but Helen’s reformer classes take the whole Pilates experience and body benefit to a whole new level. Absolutely LOVE her classes. Body changing! Can’t recommend them highly enough.

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!

Pilates with Helen is truly enjoyable; her classes warm and welcoming and true to the Pilates ideals. Personal injuries are accommodated with attention to body awareness, enabling us to understand and heed our limitations, working safely through exercises. During the sessions, I am totally engaged; time flies by, and all too soon, the session is over. I attend both group and one-to-one Pilates, and I cannot recommend one over the other, as each complements the other. Personal tuition provides a deeper focus to individual progress and requirements and the mindfulness developed is transferred to group classes. Pilates is both relaxing and invigorating…and addictive.

I have been doing Pilates for a few years now and Helen is one of the best teachers of mat-work pilates that I have worked with. Her classes are always varied and challenging, whilst catering for different levels and individual limitations. Helen was great at adapting her class for my knee injuries and provided very good advice and at-home exercises when I had personal training sessions with her. I would definitely recommend her classes. She’s also great fun!

Just wanted to say that your Pilates class is fantastic, I thoroughly enjoy every single lesson. I really appreciate your enthusiasm and the joy in your teaching; the music you choose that always fits the theme of the lesson really well; and most of all that you focus on every student and help them progress on their individual ‘journey’. It will be hard to find a Pilates class in Durham that can live up to the high standards and the joy that you brought into your teaching!
