Bryonys Pilates

love Bryony’s Pilates classes. She is such a good teacher and is very hands on. Brilliant !! It's helped me alot.

Bryony’s online Pilates classes are perfect for me. Convenient and easy to fit into a busy schedule but there is no compromise on personal attention as Bryony’s expert eagle eye sees everything and she is very sensitive to everybody’s individual needs. Professional safe hands with a fun and informal delivery.

I have attended Bryony Ashford's online Pilates' mat classes from my home for the last two and a half years.I was initially sceptical, but I have found Bryony's classes to be much more productive/effective than my previous gym/studio classes which were stopped by the pandemic. My lower-back pain has not recurred.Each hour-long class usually includes exercises that Bryony has taught me before, but (more importantly) each class always includes exercises that I have never done before, ie, lots of variety. I have to stay awake!!The technology works very well. It's easy to cast a picture of Bryony's demonstrations from my laptop to my bigger TV screen. And I can easily talk to Bryony when needed (and vice versa).Most importantly...Bryony is well-organised, bubbly, cheerful and fun. A great start to my day.However I do occasionally have to ask Bryony to remember that I'm using a jock-strap (rather than a bra-strap)!Stephen Marfleet

Bryony is a wonderful teacher who wants to know about and does understand all her clients’ needs. Witness the fact I’ve been going to her classes for over 10 years. Highly recommended!

I have attended group mat classes and 1 to 1 reformer sessions with Bryony for several years. Both have been excellent and really helped to alleviate chronic back pain and improve my strength. Bryony is extremely knowledgeable and able to adapt exercises where necessary and use a variety of props to support and enhance mobility. Even in group sessions, Bryony can provide a personalised approach for clients making her classes accessible for all. She is also a fun and enthusiastic instructor so classes are always enjoyable. I am extremely pleased by the progress I made over time.

I’m in my 4th week of beginner Pilates classes with Bryony & cannot recommend her highly enough! I have already learnt so much & feel so much more confident about my body. Bryony is always very thorough with her explanations.The classes are small & friendly & I really look forward to them each week. Thank you Bryony!

I have done physical classes /virtual classes and reformer Pilates 1:1’s with Bryony -what sets her apart is not just her expertise which is phenomenal but she genuinely cares about supporting her clients with whatever they are trying to achieve I can’t recommend her highly enough

I absolutely love Bryony’s Pilates classes. She’s a brilliant teacher who really understands exactly what each student needs. The classes are fun and challenging and I always finish with a huge smile on my face - not to mention a lot less aches and pains! Over the last few years I’ve noticed big changes in my strength, muscle tone and balance. I can’t recommend her enough.

Bryony Ashford: ACE Pilates teacher - Adapable, Challenging, Encouraging!I have been doing Pilates regularly for about 20 yrs, mainly in gym classes. When the pandemic came, I started running more but I missed my Pilates classes. Bryony had always been my favourite Pilates teacher but she had moved on from my local gym. Luckily I learned she was doing zoom Pilates during the pandemic.Zoom classes have advantages. Bryony checks everyone in at start of class. You can report injuries and niggles. She will adapt the class to fit in an exercise/stretch that helps to sort your problem. The smaller classes mean more individual attention.I like the way she often builds to a full exercise by working on the individual parts first. You get to practice all the movements before putting them together. I find this helps me to appreciate what muscles I'm using and what I should feel when doing the exercises.Bryony gets you working all parts of your body from neck to toes. (I like the spiky balls for my toes.) She gives personalized tips and variations, challenging you to work just that bit harder and encouraging you to do your best.I have had classes with a variety of good Pilates teachers but for me Bryony is simply the BEST!
