Simona's Pilates Teddington

Thanks for your amazing classes. You are very passionate about Pilates and you always take care of everyone in class. Each session is different and I really enjoy them.

I love my lessons with Simona. She is a very friendly and well organised teacher, sending us the schedule of classes in advance. She gives clear instructions and walks round the group checking on our posture and making sure we’re in the correct positions. I’m very happy to have Simona as my teacher.

As a complete beginner to Pilates, Simona is the perfect teacher. Her instructions are clear and easy to follow, encouraging and always considerate to everyone’s individual abilities.Simona is very warm and her classes are super friendly, I always look forward to the sessions and leave feeling great. I wish I could attend more!

My physio recommended Pilates after explaining how de conditioned I’d become after 2020~2023. I’ve been attending Simona’s classes for a few months now and I’m seeing a massive improvement in my core strength, my balance and my niggling back pain. I notice things I’d never noticed before - like now it’s really comfortable to sit for long periods with “good posture” whereas before I would slouch. I realise that doesn’t sound big, but it breaks the experience of a lifetime of slouching.Simona usually goes through a number of Pilates movements focused on different aspects of strength, flexibility and stability. We started with a number of sessions focused on the back which really paid off for me. Simona will introduce a movement with different levels. Level 1 will be possible for most people as beginners, level 2 builds on level 1 and level 3 is usually where the more experienced folks will get to. This makes Simona’s classes suitable for all levels. Sometimes, I might struggle and Simona will give another variation that allows for my individual ability. She looks out for everyone in the class and makes sure they are getting the right guidance.I’ve found the fees for the classes to be very reasonable. She has all the equipment prepared for the classes so you just have to turn up. If you’ve got your own yoga/exercise mat, it can gove you a bit of extra comfort, but there are mats at the gym already.I attend an evening session which gives me time to commute home before changing and heading to the gym. If you can’t make your class - maybe offer it to a friend or family member. I’d absolutely recommend Simona’s class for anyone who’d like to give Pilates a try as well as folks who have more experience.

The personal attention from Simona at her classes is impressive. She is so passionate about you getting it right. I have a bad back with associated issues and the difference her classes have made is remarkable. Thank you Simona.

I really enjoy Simona’s Pilates classes. She is a great teacher, knowledgeable and always checks us and offers alternative movements to suit all abilities.I always look forward to the class and feel more flexible and stronger under her tuition.Simona’s classes are the best and she is a fantastic teacher.Gerry.

Simona is an excellent instructor who enables participants to comfortably challenge themselves in her classes. Highly recommend!

Simona is an outstanding teacher, always offering alternatives for people with different abilities or to accommodate pre-existing conditions so that everyone has the same opportunity to learn and improve.

Simona is very welcoming, fun, attentive, knowledgeable and very dedicated. At the end of her class, “in this beautiful posture”, I leave feeling rejuvenated and taller! :)

I began as a complete novice with Simona, with a series of 121 sessions that she bespoked to my specific needs and abilities.I now attend weekly classes at Up and Running in Teddington. I absolutely love my sessions, Simona has an excellent broad knowledge of Pilates and builds six week programmes targeting specific areas. Each set of exercises is delivered with low/medium and high impact so that you can tailor to your ability, this has really made a difference to my mobility, flexibility and core strength.Simona, alongside being an expert that I completely trust!, has a fabulous positive outlook, her energy is infectious and I look forward to my sessions every week !
