Function Better Fitness & Pilates Training

Szabina’s classes are always friendly and fun! I attend Pilates and HIIT/circuits and it’s different every time, with new challenges every week. Szabina is a great instructor, always giving alternatives where appropriate, and she will always push you that little bit further if she thinks you can take it! I would recommend her classes to all levels of ability.

I 'discovered' Szabina nearly five years ago and have not looked back. I have done her HIIT, kettlebell and Pilates classes. She is superb. She was incredibly quick to take her classes online during the pandemic and now offers 6 classes a week of which I do 3. You will struggle to find a more delightful, professional and committed personal trainer. Can't sing her praises loud enough!

My husband and I have been doing pilates for about the last 10 years. We have always believed in all the trainers we have had. Recently we moved back to the UK to live, and hoped to find someone just as good. We both feel that Szabina has lifted our level of core power and general ability higher again. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

I have exercised and trained most of my adult life and it is only when I started training with Szabina (5 years ago), I started to see significant results and changes. Szabina’s in depth knowledge (and passion) on everything to do with the body, fitness and nutrition, she ensures you reach your goals (no matter your level) and that you are in the best position to get the most benefit for each exercise. By working with her, I have changed habits, become stronger and lost several kilos of weight. I have participated in one-to-one, Pilates, body shaping, kettle bells, TRX, and HIIT sessions. No session is ever the same-- they are always fun, challenging and progressive. She is a great coach!

I have just booked another 12 'one on one' sessions with Szabina. Pilates is new to me - now in my mid-sixties - but both mentally and physically with Szabina's excellent blend of her vast knowledge, patience and motivation, she has got me moving, stretching, breathing and thinking realignment - it's boosted my confidence and well-being too. Highly recommended!

I have been attending Szabinas Pilates classes at chipping norton leisure centre for well over a year. Every week is different and every exercise is tailored to your own ability.I’m now doing classes online that Szabina organised to keep us all exercising through this awful time.Pilates on a Tuesday and Body Shape class on a Friday. Body shape certainly gets your heart pumping but again she gives you different options for your level of fitness and is always so encouraging to us all to keep going.Thanks Szabina for making me feel very positive after these classes.

Szabina’s classes are great! I attend both Pilates and hiit (I have done both group classes and online) and really enjoy both. There is a good range of exercises for all abilities and fitness levels and Szabina makes it fun and interesting.

I have felt a distinct improvement in my mobility & stability since joining Szabina's classes. The correct way to perform each movement is emphasised and the Zoom classes that I've joined since the lockdown I have found especially useful - being able to see Szabina closely I can ensure that each exercise is done precisely as it should be to gain maximum benefit. I thoroughly enjoy each session & strongly recommend her training sessions!

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my 1 on 1 personal Pilates sessions with Szabina. She is extremely knowledgeable and I felt in very capable hands. Every session was different, challenging yet enjoyable, incorporating a variety of Pilates equipment as well. She is encouraging, helpful and personable. I could see the benefits quickly. I’m looking forward to doing more sessions with her when I can!

I have been attending Szabina's classes for nearly a year and a half, starting with Pilates and more recently the body shaping classes. I get an enormous benefit from both. Szabina clearly has a huge passion for fitness. She is very well organised, creates excellent class plans and is always happy to adapt the exercises or offer alternatives according to individual needs. Szabina is a great motivator and is a brilliant role model. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.
