Peak District Pilates

It was a cold and dreary December evening when I decided that my stomach wobble was lasting a little bit too long for comfort. I tossed my last slice of pizza in the bin, and with this single act, my journey to peak physical fitness had begun.I tested out my newfound inner strength by searching online for some kind of reliable fitness regime. My criteria were not too harsh, but little did I know that my quest was only just beginning. I found all sorts of schemes and tips and tricks, but none of them seemed reliable, or doable. 6 month summer bod prep? I knew I didn't have the willpower to stick with anything for 6 months. 30 day stomach shred? Sounded very painful. I knew I needed some serious help if my fitness goals were to be achieved.And then it hit me, like a football to the back of the head when I walked through the playground at school.Peak District Pilates.The name had a catchy ring to it, and it was situated in a convenient location. If already fulfilled two of my three search criteria. The only thing yet to be seen was whether the instructor would have a fashionable, calm, demeanor. My fingers trembled as I booked my first session - this could be it! A bead of sweat rolled down my forehead as I sat back in my seat. Mission accomplished.The sweat dripped into my eye as I realised just how unfit I was.Four days later, I begun my pilgrimage to Bakewell, the starting location of my journey to my dream bod. Clad in the freshest Sondico threads that Sports Direct had to offer, I opened the door and was greeted by Theresa, my new fitness guru.The session breezed by like the smell of Mama's apple pie on a soft August wind. It was at this point that I knew that my life had changed forever. Theresa was more than a teacher, she was a listener as well. She listened to the pilate needs before I'd even spoken them - before I even knew I had them! It was clear that she had achieved true peak Pilate enlightenment.After the session I felt refreshed, renewed, and rejuvenated. Gone were the days where I gorged myself with greasy pizza every week, now I was only gorging myself on a strengthened core and a new sense of self-esteem. I felt a little bit taller, if not a little bit fitter.As I walked out the door I turned back to have one more look at the place where my epiphany had occured. I saw my new sensei, Theresa, looking upon her flock lovingly, before meeting my gaze. She gave a subtle, all knowing nod, and we both knew at that moment that I would be a Peak District Pilates customer for life.

I love these classes. I have become so much happier as my aches and pains have reduced. Thank you so much

Amazing instructor, so in tune with the needs of her students and welcoming to everyone!

I love this class! Everyone is so friendly and fun, and Teece has a way of explaining how to do things so well without being patronising. She also adapts exercises for different abilities so you can do as much or as little as you want. I love seeing how much I've improved week by week. Highly recommended!

Theresa is a fantastic teacher! I went to her swiss ball class which was at a perfect level for me. She clearly explains each step and makes sure everyone is happy. She’s able to tailor things to each individual and also offers one on one classes. A very friendly teacher who can help you reach your goals!

A very enjoyable class with good clear instruction and lots of options given to adapt movements to suit different abilities. Will definitely be returning!

Theresa is an excellent teacher and she has consistently provided a range of varied and effective exercises, tailored to suit her class. She is always well prepared and her enthusiasm is catching. I love her classes and have recommended her to many. Long may she continue!
