The Coach House Pilates Studio

I have been practising Pilates for nearly 20 years, with half a dozen or so teachers, and Caroline at Back in Balance is far and away the most effective and informative teacher I have ever worked with. She extends us all the time, with Master Classes and concentrating for a while on a specific area of the body for a few weeks. I highly recommend her. Plus, you can join classes in the Studio and on Zoom.

As a complete newbie to Pilates I was nervous to start my first class. I needn’t have worried as Caroline is a highly professional and welcoming teacher. I am really enjoying my classes in her lovely Studio.

Caroline is a fabulous teacher and has a wealth of knowledge and experience to impart. My husband and I are both doing classes regularly and really feel an improvement in our overall fitness - particularly the core.As we both work full time we appreciate the flexibility that Caroline shows as she offers a ‘class swap’ to ensure we get the opportunity to change classes if work commitments impinge on our usual ones.Do give it a try, I promise you won’t regret it :)

Attending Caroline's classes regularly for the last 10 years has been a total game changer for me. When I started her classes an underlying back issue could impact on my life for weeks at a time. With her encouragement and knowledge, my own Pilates practice has meant that flare ups are drastically minimalised, recovery time markedly faster and my underlying core strength improving my whole physical self, not to mention emotional wellbeing, in a way I could not have anticipated. Added to that her classes are pacey, motivating and importantly - fun! As a client, I know I am always seen in a class - crucially - I am never just another 'bottom on a mat'. A consummate professional, Caroline constantly broadens her own knowledge and is always excited to share and add new movements and equipment to her sessions. She is as organised with her admin as she is in the studio and her online 'class swap' facility is fantastic and means that I can swap and change classes with ease. The bottom line is that in my view you haven't experienced Pilates at it's full potential unless you've attended a Back in Balance class.

Love doing pilates with Caroline, the hour passes SO quickly! I would highly recommend her classes to anyone wishing to strengthen their core, improve their posture and for all round fitness.

Caroline is a gift to the world of pilates!. Her knowledge, experience and super attention to detail are unrivalled. Which means the improvement in mobility, strength, flexibility and overall well-being is remarkable. Small classes ensure almost individual attention too. I would recommend without hesitation.

Caroline has an in depth experience of pilates that would be hard to match. There is a lot of choice on how to take the classes giving the flexibility of video, live stream or in class and to match my level. Caroline gives clear instructions and challenges us so we get the results.

I have been doing Pilates on and off for approximately 20 years but have never experienced true Pilates until I joined Caroline’s class when she first moved to Bourton 4 years ago. Caroline is an amazing teacher, I have progressed immensely since joining her classes and she makes each class an enjoyable experience. The results are incredible with improved core strength and weight loss, what more can I say plus I love it!

I thoroughly enjoy Caroline's Pilates classes! She is an exceptional teacher, and the welcoming atmosphere of her private studio provides an inviting and focused session. I highly recommend her classes to anyone interested in Pilates.

Caroline is a superb pilates instructor. I can not recommend her more highly and she adapts exercises to suit the individuals strengths/weaknesses to gain the most from her classes.
