The Movement Garage

I have been going to Kathryn's studio classes for just over a year now. I started going after continually suffering from lower back pain after two pregnancies. Her classes and individually tailored exercise have meant that I no longer have to deal with back trouble any more. I am stronger and have much more awareness of my body positioning and how to support myself to remain active. She is an excellent teacher and always reactive to whatever body niggles/complaints you might bring to class each week. She has also provided me with fantastic instruction and visuals that I can refer to at home in order to practise Pilates independently. I would not hesitate to recommend her classes.

I really struggled with post-natal training & regularly injured myself and couldn’t build any strength. Since working with Kathryn, my body is unrecognisable. My core strength has been completely rebuilt. Kathryn is incredible and I feel entirely safe & supported in every training session. I recommend her to everyone!!

Kathryn is a great teacher, very knowledge and patient. As someone who is not used to Pilates I always feel very comfortable with her and in her cosy studio. There is a large range of equipment available to use and Kathryn tailors each session to the needs of the individual, for example, I do a lot of running so my exercises are tailored to support this. I find the sessions invaluable at keeping me more supple, flexible and crucially injury free. I arrive feeling 80 years old and leave feeling invigorated and relaxed (and like I'm 18!) Highly recommend!

Kathryn is doing miracles for my back. I’m a very reluctant participant in any exercise activities, but pilates was recommended by my doctor, and I know from past experience this really helps. After some group classes elsewhere I started sessions with Kathryn, and I can honestly say the results are amazing, this is especially noticeable when I have a flare up and I come to her in pain, but a few hours later I already feel better. I can thoroughly recommend her personal approach and knowledge - she explains in depth what is happening to the body when you do this or that exercise and why she chooses particular movements for each individual client. Thank you Kathryn!

Kathryn’s dedication to improving her clients’ strength and fitness is amazing. Her classes are a great workout with lots of individual attention and bespoke exercise plans. As well as helping me minimise back pain she has definitely helped me improve my strength and posture. Highly recommend!

I have had a recurring back problem since my teens where my back would ‘go’ every 9 months or so and i’d be in pain for weeks & have to spend a fortune with a chiropractor to get mobile again. Since having weekly sessions with Kathryn it hasn’t happened and I’ve not had a problem with my back for 3 years. And the sessions are great fun!

I came to see Kathryn after having my second child and finding that sessions with a physiotherapist weren't helping with my aches and pains. Kathryn was able to take a holistic view and assess how my posture and breathing have been exacerbating various different ailments. Through a mix of one-to-one sessions, recorded video sessions and mat classes, I feel like I'm on the right track. Even when I don't manage to carve out the time to do a full set of exercises, I now have the tools to make small adjustments in my day-to-day life that are helping. I would thoroughly recommend seeing Kathryn and only wish I had discovered her sooner.

I've been seeing Kathryn for 1.5 years and I would thoroughly recommend her. She has helped me build back my strength after having a baby and to feel confident in my body's capabilities again. She brings with her a wealth of knowledge and experience and tailors her sessions to individuals needs. I am so glad I have found Kathryn at The Movement Garage, thank you!

When I came to Katheryn’s classes I had been experiencing significant back pain, and weakness in my day-to-day movements following the birth of my son. I felt very fragile and disconnected from my body and unsure how to go about safely recovering the physical strength, I had taken for granted before pregnancy.The very tailored and guided nature of Kathryn’s group studio classes has been a really wonderful way to rehabilitate and recover pain free strength in my body and movements. A feeling that at one time I was unsure I could fully recover. So, I can’t thank Katheryn enough, and can’t recommend her classes highly enough to anyone looking to safely approach rebuilding their strength and confidence in their post-partum bodies.

I've been going to Kathryn's classes for a couple of terms now and look forward to them every week. Her classes are small which means that she is able to keep an eye on everyone individually, offering gentle adjustments and suggestions throughout. She is a highly competent and knowledgeable teacher and her classes are welcoming and inclusive. I would definitely recommend giving her clssses a go!
