Kate Abbott Pilates

I came to Kate feeling very uncertain about Pilates and with poor mobility following back problems. Kate has helped me enormously to gain confidence and improve my flexibility. Her approach was so well thought through and I can’t believe the improvement. Without doubt her Pilates classes have given me a sense of well-being, and I’m moving better than I have for years. Thank you Kate so much for your patience and encouragement.

Kate is such a great instructor, the way she explains things is really easy to understand.I really look forward to my weekly lesson.I would highly recommend Kate for Pilates lessons.Loraine

Kate is absolutely brilliant. I started her classes having never done Pilates before and I’ve absolutely loved it. Kate’s really good at looking after all abilities, you never feel left behind and she gives you plenty of individual attention when you need a bit of extra help. Really, really highly recommend!!

My fiancé and me have been working with Kate for nearly a year in her “Pilates reformer dungeon of unpleasant surprises”. Both of us had historic back and joint troubles coupled with flexibility and balance issues. Weak cores were the root cause. Well, the change has been truly transformational! Bending, stretching, walking, posture and my golf game (gained 10 yards on all shots!) all materially improved. We’ve also come to love the exercises, have lots of fun and always feel significantly better for the sessions. Fab!

I've been seeing Kate for over a year now after experiencing long spells of sciatica, after some 1 to 1 sessions and now onto mat classes I haven't suffered since! Kate knows her stuff!!!! My posture, core and back feel stronger than ever, would and have recommended Kate in a heartbeat.

I love Kate’s Pilates classes. She’s been a life saver for my well being and the health of my lower back, especially during lockdown. She is enthusiastic and fun, and fantastic at describing each tiny move, making sure you get your posture absolutely correct with each position and movement, without risk of injury & ensuring you get the most benefit. I didn’t think I could be this flexible in my 50’s. I feel as though I were in my 20’s again, thanks to Kate! I’ve been doing Pilates with varying teachers over the last 10 years or so, but Kate is one of my most trusted favourites. Highly recommend! Thanks Kate!!

Kate has been teaching me and my son Pilates for over six months and we can highly recommend her. Kate's knowledge and professionalism shine through in her classes. You are totally at ease in her lessons, regardless of your ability and her methods of teaching allow you to make real progress with core strength and flexibility.

I absolutely love coming to Kate’s classes. Her sessions are well planned, challenging and differentiated according to how far you are in your Pilates journey. I’ve become so much stronger and the fitness I’ve gained has really helped in all areas of daily life. I’ve also had one to one sessions on the reformer and these are demanding and targeted - well worth it if you’re up for a challenge and want to take your fitness to the next level.

I cannot praise Kate too highly. I have been doing Pilates, both one to one and in groups, for many years but have rarely met any one so committed to her art and intuitive about what some else's body needs. In particular the guidance, support and encouragement that she has given me following my hip operation have been amazing. She praises each little gain and works with me on each challenge. I very much enjoy my sessions with her. Long may they continue.
