Pilates in Sheffield with Chris Fraser

I have been attending Ann Chester Pilates studio classes for over a year. Ann and the team are experts in the field of Pilates, tailoring sessions to all abilities. The delivery and coaching is with precision, movement flows and made fun. At the centre of the Pilates classes is core-strengthening and to improve posture - invaluable at a time we are all at home hunched over our laptops - it's a welcomed Zoom! Ann Chester and the team's set up in the studio, when not in lockdown, is impressive and welcoming. When lockdown eases, I'd recommend attending Saturday Retreats and Welcome days. Thank you to the team.

I started attending Ann’s classes as a beginner many years ago and enjoy the relaxed friendly atmosphere of the studio. Ann and her colleagues are professional and knowledgeable and because of the small class sizes can offer individual feedback/encouragement. I’m so grateful that classes have continued on Zoom during lockdown, and look forward to when we can all return to the studio.

I've been taught pilates by Ann for many years now and keep coming back week after week, so she must be good! She and her team are meticulous in monitoring their students and carefully adapt all classes and exercises each week. Somehow Ann manages to make you believe you're having fun while working you far harder than you realise. Her studio is a lovely space which I've missed during lockdown but lessons via Zoom have been cleverly adapted and work really well for me. I wouldn't dream of going to any other studio to be honest.

I have been going to Ann’s for around 10 years. I always look forward to the weekly sessions and my core strength has improved improved enormously in that time. Ann is very friendly and welcoming. Much to recommend here for Pilates and For Ann Chester’s Pilates.

Ann and the other teachers are experienced and friendly. The studio is warm, and well equipped. I have been attending for a number of years and have progrssed from beginners' classes to more advanced ones. I certainly recommend Ann Chester Pilates.

Ann runs superb, friendly, inclusive Pilates classes. Pilates looks and seems easy if done incorrectly but Ann and her team watch us all to make sure every exercise is spot on and maximises the muscles being used. I have felt so much stronger and more supple from attending her classes and now rarely suffer from back pain and migraines which I did prior to starting Pilates with Ann. I would definitely recommend Ann Chester Pilates.

I have been attending Ann's classes for quite a few years now and find the classes really enjoyable, good for building core strength and keeping my back problems at bay. Ann is very knowledgeable and friendly and the atmosphere in the class is fun. Currently it is fine on Zoom but we can't wait to get back to face to face social contact.

Ann and her team of experienced teachers are great. I have been attending classes for 15 years+. Would highly recommend. They are constantly updating their practice, always take in to account individual needs, limit class size to keep an important guiding eye on each client and, having adapted so well in the 2020 pandemic, I don't think there is a hurdle they can't master. The classes are also fun and sociable which is important. Give them a try!

Ann is excellent and very knowledgable. I am very new to Pilates and I really enjoy her classes - she adapts to your individual needs and gives you a thorough understanding along the way. Definitely recommend!

I'm sure I've grown 3 inches since I started a beginners pilates class with Ann in 2007! I'm definitely more flexible and I know my posture has improved. All this and I have fun too! I'm now doing a more advanced class and enjoy the challenge. Ann is always aware of our various aches, pains and ailments and suggests alternative exercises for us if necessary. The classes are small so we all get plenty of individual attention. Over the years I've taken classes with the other instructors at Ann's studio and they are all great too. In these strange times Ann is continuing to run very professional classes on zoom. I'm missing her lovely studio but it's great to have a class to look forward to. I'd thoroughly recommend her to beginners and anyone at a more advanced level.
