Complete Pilates Chelsea

I have been attending Complete Pilates Chelsea for 18 months now and have nothing but good things to say about the staff and facilities. They are wonderful professionals who are also concerned and care for their patients. Their Pilates equipment is the best. Finding this practise has been one of the best things about my living in London. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Char was very friendly and helpful in our Reformer Pilates Class. She was very knowledgeable about where to focus my strength and flexibility. Her smiley attitude made the class enjoyable!! Highly recommend

I have been going to Complete Pilates regularly for the last few years. I started because of a knee injury but once they fixed that (perfectly recovered now - thanks Annabel!) I decided to continue going because I found it to be one of the most enjoyable parts of my week. The instructors are very knowledgeable, kind and patient. I leave feeling relaxed, physically stronger and mentally more at peace. Sorry for gushing but they deserve it. Courtney is also amazing. I cherish our 1 hr slot together. :)

I have had the most incredible experience with Complete Pilates. I have done 1:1 sessions with both Kelly and Helen. They have held my hand through a painful rehabilitation process, and I'm extraordinarily grateful for their sense of humour and clinical expertise in back pain. With their help, I'm learning to trust my body, and they have not only helped me in the studio but have given me the tools to regulate my pain and strengthen my body independently. Receiving treatment at Complete Pilates has been a very empowering experience, and I highly recommend it!

I have been a client of Complete Pilates since 2015 post spine surgery and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They have tailored a programme that has kept me strong and able to do most things despite the damage to my S1 nerve. The team are all professional and incredibly knowledgeable on how to achieve what the client needs. The benefit of having the one to one class is that your exercises are constantly monitored and adjusted to the tiniest detail maximise the positive effects. I always leave the studio feeling straighter, stronger and with a bounce in my step. Thank you Helen and the team.

All the instructors I have had teaching me have been very knowledgable, very friendly and very patient. I have made great progress in my physical strength, general flexibility, balance and stability by having regular 1-1 Pilates sessions since spinal decompression surgery in 2017. Can’t recommend the team at Complete Pilates highly enough!

My back consultant recommended Complete Pilates to help correct and control my scoliosis. The team asked for x-rays and medical reports to ensure I got the right treatment, and assigned me to Magda - who has suffered from scoliosis herself. I have been working with Magda for six months and seen huge improvements. I have tried other exercise programmes, but Complete Pilates has helped me really understand my condition, how to improve it and how to live around it. I cannot recommend Magda and Complete Pilates highly enough.Jenny G

I have been living with scoliosis since my childhood, and despite numerous attempts to find relief, including wearing the Milwaukee brace for almost a year, the severity and progression of my spinal curvature eventually led me to undergo back surgery. While the initial surgery provided some relief and saved me from a more challenging life, I soon encountered a new source of back pain. Determined to overcome this challenge, I resumed visits to physiotherapists and maintained an active lifestyle, but the pain persisted.After enduring increased pain and complications with the implanted rods over the years, I made the difficult decision to undergo a second spine surgery sixteen years later. Following the surgery, I embarked on a new rehabilitation process that included physiotherapy sessions. Recognizing the potential benefits of a more intensive approach, my physiotherapist recommended Complete Pilates, a studio specializing in a therapeutic approach supervised by experienced instructors and physiotherapists. Given the excellent care I received from Complete Physio, their recommendation gave me confidence in the specialized assistance provided by Complete Pilates.Under Helen’s guidance, a physiotherapist herself, they seamlessly integrated a Therapeutic Pilates schedule into my rehabilitation program. They prioritized the optimal condition of my entire body, expertly pushing me when necessary while ensuring my muscles had adequate rest to prevent injury. They allowed me to try things and see for myself whether I could do them, fostering mobility, strength, and flexibility. As a result, I experienced newfound freedom of movement in my back, exceeding my expectations and gradually gaining strength after just a few sessions.When it became apparent that something was still not quite right, the spinal surgeon confirmed that some of my spine bones were fused, and the soft tissue specialist identified soft tissue and nerve damage as the source of my persistent pain. The team at Complete Pilates remained committed to exploring alternative approaches and embraced a joint program involving my physiotherapist, a personal trainer, and other professionals. They designed an intensive agenda aligned with the guidelines provided by the soft tissue specialist, marking the beginning of a transformative second phase of rehabilitation. They invested significant time to ensure I followed the prescribed exercises and activities, both during my home practice and with other professionals.

Jen designs her classes to meet the needs of my body which is very satisfying. She explains the exercises clearly and adjusts my movements as we go so that I don’t get into bad habits. This one-on-one attention makes a real difference to my evolution as a Pilates client. Everyone at Complete Pilates in Chelsea is professional and friendly. It’s a pleasure to go to classes here

I came to Complete Pilates by way of my back consultant. At first working with Complete Physio, I then progressed to one on one pilates with Complete Pilates. The communication and monitoring of my progression between the two was phenomenal. I had experts attuned to my challenges and progress on both sides, working with me to transform my lack of mobility, and imbalances stemming from two flat discs. The entire team is incredibly impressive. At every turn, I had an expert by my side who helped show me the way forward when I felt stuck. Each person I have worked with has a passion for what they do and deep respect for fitness and sport. I have done the rounds of physios and pilates in London over the years, and it is Complete Pilates and Complete Physio that have succeeded in bringing me back to the person I was. Waking up to no pain, back to cycling, weights at the gym and skiing to my standard. Special thanks to Louise Alwyn, Kelly Graecen, Georgetta, Annabel Hawker and Charlotte Byrne for working with me through it all.
