Opotopo Pilates

I have done Pilates with Simon for more than 2 years now. I have suffered with lower back problems for several years but in fact my back is now much better than it has been. This is due to the Pilates I am sure. As well as doing the weekly class I also try and fit in some mini sessions at home. Simon is very keen that movements are done accurately in the correct way. He gives you clear instructions on how to do this. With other instructors they are not so precise and you can end up moving in the wrong way. The class sizes are small and this helps him to check we are all moving correctly. We work on good posture a lot and it is this particularly that I feel has helped me.The classes always start and finish on time and Simon is very professional. I would certainly highly recommend the classes to others.

My wife and I and joined one of Simon's first foundation classes over 2 years ago. We didn't know what to expect but found that Simon soon assessed our individual needs and abilities. He is able to gently push" us to achieve our potential and we have surprised ourselves with the flexibility and strength that we have gained.One other bonus is that Simon gives us tips to incorporate Pilates practice in our daily life. Simon has enabled our class to "gel" and we have good fun as well as working hard. I can honestly say that joining Simon's class has been one of the best things that we have done."

No two classes are the same, great variety of exercises. Business is well run and instructor is attentive to indidviduals feedback. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Started as a complete beginner. Pilates has transformed my well being; no longer get chronic backache.

Have been attending classes for 2 years now, having no previous experience. Really enjoy the classes as well paced, great variety of exercises (no two classes the same) and really feel that they have a positive impact on overall well being and flexibility/movement. Would highly recommend Simon as a great teacher no matter what your ability is.

I slipped a disc a while ago and Simon has been excellent at helping me well on my road to recovery. His teaching style is very caring and extremely thorough. Class sizes are kept small and everyone is encouraged to work at their own pace. Extremely professional. Would highly recommend.

I joined Simon's pilates classes to help with an on-going lower back problem i have experienced for years. Not only do the classes help massively with my back but my understanding of the importance of movement in promoting and maintaining good health has also increased. The classes are informative, personalised and also good fun. thank you for all your hard work.

I have been enjoying Pilates for over 2 years now after Simon's class was recommended to me by a friend. He assessed me before accepting me onto his Foundation class to make sure Pilates was suitable for me. Thankfully it was and after being encouraged, supported and my abilities stretched, I've moved onto his Core 2 class. Simon is friendly, patient and really supportive; his passion for Pilates is contagious. He encourages everyone to exercise at their own pace, but still gently pushes us to try that bit more. I really enjoy Simon's classes I'd recommend Simon's classes to anyone.

I was recommended to take up pilates over 2 years ago due to stiffness after spinal surgery. Opotopo Pilates has definitely improved my flexibility and overall strength and it has been great to try new exercises each week. I would recommend Opotopo Pilates to anyone who is looking for something new as Simon's class is fun, different and challenging.

These classes are great.Simon is very informative and is excellent at explaining each movement and he helps you challenge yourself only if you want too. I have gained great core strength and my posture is better and so is my lower back!! Would highly recommend.
