WOW PILATES St Albans

Lorraine is a VERY considerate teacher.I have had damage to my spine and she is always at pains to make sure that if any exercise is uncomfortable, she always has an alternative. Plus I was having intermittent need to visit a chiropractor for back pain. He retired over a year ago and I have not needed to consult one since. Coincidence? I think not.Thank you, LorraineRobin

Lorraine is an excellent Pilates teacher - she makes physical & online classes enjoyable, interesting & challenging, whilst being careful to take account of any individual health issues or injuries. Her instruction is really clear and classes are structured so that you feel you are making progress from week to week. My core strength and flexibility have definitely improved over the last few years that I have been doing Pilates with Lorraine, and I highly recommend her classes!

I've joined Lorraine's online classes twice a week now for over 18 months and can highly recommend them. They've definitely improved my core strength and flexibility. I like the combined consistency and variety of each class, which keeps me interested and the feeling of progression. Every detail is well explained, too, so there's less chance of getting it wrong!

I look forward to my Saturday morning pilates class with Lorraine and my bit of 'me' time in what is normally a very busy day for me! The classes are brilliant for stretching, relaxing and working on core strength. Lorraine is a fantastic teacher and explains everything really clearly - especially as the class I join is online. Highly recommend.

I started my Pilates journey 25 years ago, we have moved around so I've attended a number of studios. Along the way I realised that working with a Stott trained teacher is my ideal. There is a world of difference working with someone who has followed a rigorous training.I've been attending WOW Pilates for 2.5 years. Lorraine is an accomplished Stott trained teacher. I have attended mat classes, reformer classes and now practice 1:1 at her excellent studio. On all occasions I have found her instruction excellent, she has helped me make significant improvements to my flexibility and mobility

Lorraine is very knowleable and delivers an exercise program that meets all my needs. I feel so much better. She is also always cheerful and encouraging. I always come away having had a pleasant experience.

I have been loving my Pilates 1:1 sessions with Lorraine at her studio, as well as the online classes, and can highly recommend WOW Pilates!Lorraine is great and genuinely wants to help people move and feel better, I really enjoy our sessions and have found a big improvement to not only my flexibility, awareness of how I move (for future-proofing) and physical strength, but also my mental health. In the past I've rarely been able to keep an exercise regime going, but with the sessions scheduled I feel accountable and genuinely look forward to them!I can feel the progress, and Lorraine is so encouraging. Following a couple of emergency abdominal surgeries in 2018 my confidence in how my body moves / how best to exercise was gone.Lorraine doesn't just instruct, she's fully present and encouraging, and she has so much knowledge which she takes the time to part with! Whilst doing the moves it really helps to understand what we're targeting, how and why, and allows me (particularly when starting Pilates as a first-timer) to feel totally confident and comfortable in our sessions. She's always happy to adapt the session to how I'm feeling or if there's an area I would like us to target.Her studio is brilliant and super well equipped, immaculate and a pleasure to train in. Parking also easy and safe.The online Zoom sessions of matwork Pilates are also excellent, and cater to all abilities. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The pace is great and the exercises are challenging and varied!I can highly recommend WOW Pilates/ Lorraine :)

I went to Lorraine after 3 different physios and 10 months into recovery from a back injury that left me stuck on the floor for 4 hours and with serious pain and limited movement for a long time after. Since my one-one sessions I've felt a huge and significant improvement in my day to day stiffness and pain but also my ability to get back into strenuous sports and activities Iove. I can't thank her enough.

Lorraine is a great teacher, attentive to needs of individuals with a calm, easy to listen to approach to her Pilates sessions.

I started classes with Lorraine in August 2019 and always really enjoy attending. Lorraine is a great teacher and her lessons are always engaging and challenging. She always gives clear instructions and plenty of encouragement. My flexibility and core strength have both improved since I've been with her.
