Peacock Pilates London

I went to Peacock Pilates after the birth of my second child - it was my second c-section and so i desperately needed to strengthen my core and my pelvic floor muscles in a way that was gentle, safe and yet effective. Pilates was definitely the answer for me. At Peacock the lessons are 1 on 1 and Tania is just an amazing teacher - she really listens to you, to find out exactly what it is you want to get out of Pilates - what are your goals for your body - and then she tailors each lesson towards helping you achieve those goals. She is with you every step of the way - she pushes you and keeps you motivated. Throughout the lesson she is correcting you and telling you exactly what muscles are being tested - i really like that as you arent just imitating the teacher (as with other classes), with Tania, at Peacock, you are actually learning how that movement is helping you. She is also always introducing new moves, new techniques - keeps you on your toes and so the lessons are never boring.... When i became a little stronger and more able, Tania introduced the cardio-tramp...and wow, that is so much fun! It is a great way of getting in shape - i love that i am actually bouncing my way to a better body! Huge fan of Peacock Pilates! :)

A few years ago I had a serious skiing accident which meant I could not do any hard sporting activity for quite some time. Being used to gym training I found it difficult to know what exercises I could and could not do to try and improve my back strength and fitness level.I started with Tania having never used a Pilates reformer before and immediately noticed results. Tania is a methodical and focused trainer who provides me with a customized routine specific to my requirements and aspirations. After every class I would feel that I had worked muscles that I never even knew I had!Working with Tania is an extremely rewarding, motivating and not to mention fun experience which has helped improve my strength and muscle tone more than any previous weight training or gym sessions that I had done before!

I cannot recommend Peacock Pilates highly enough. Tania is an incredible teacher - full of encouragement, with clear instructions and a wonderful motivator. I came with little experience wondering if my core even existed (!) - but I feel like my body has completely transformed and friends and family have all commented on the difference. It’s the first summer I have worn a bikini with confidence! And my initial reason for coming, which was to help with my lower back pain caused by all the necessary carrying of my young children has been completely rectified. I am so much stronger now.I have also introduced my husband to these classes to help with his posture and core strength and he is also now completely hooked. I can see a massive change in the way he holds himself and we often compare notes after classes about new muscles we have discovered (and who is strongest...yes it can get competitive!).We both greatly look forward to our classes and it’s the only good thing about coming back from holiday - back to Peacock Pilates!Highly highly recommend - you won’t look back but you’ll wonder why it took you so long to discover her!

I've been having 1 on 1 Reformer sessions at Peacock Pilates London for a while now and the transformation in my body has amazed me! I now look and feel slimmer and leaner, but mostly I had back and hip problems which caused me constant weakness and discomfort, but with the help of Tania's teaching and Pilates I am now fit and strong with NO back or hip problems! I would highly recommend her to anyone!! She makes the Pilates sessions more dynamic and fun then other places I tried and the trampoline is a good way to do cardio in a safe and injury free way.

I recently suffered from pain in my lower back due to a previous injury. While training with Tania I was able to fully recover and advance to more difficult levels, hands down the best Pilates sessions I have ever had (and I have been training with multiple Pilatice coaches for 7 years). She also provides for a very friendly and family atmosphere, I always felt welcomed.

I've been practicing Pilates with Tania from my 16th week of pregnancy to 37th week, and I can't speak highly enough about the experience! Each time at the 1-1 session, I feel I am in a very safe place exercising my muscles, without worrying about hurting myself, or getting fatigue, which helps me stay strong throughout the pregnancy. Tania designed the sessions to suit my needs, i.e. to build strong back muscles (which comes very useful when carrying the baby) and strengthen my core& gluteus muscles (so to reduce the pressure in lower back). Besides from getting toned, I've also learned the importance of improving my posture in everyday activity. I've only put on 9kg (about 20pounds) throughout the pregnancy and I think the Pilates sessions definitely helped a lot!!!

I have tried Pilates several times before, but Tania, the instructor by far was the best, She pays attention to the slightest detail and makes sure that the I use the correct movement while doing the exercise . I took 8 continuous sessions with her and noticed great improvement in my fitness level. After that I travelled to Austria for skiing and OMG I felt nothing , no pain at all (we skied for more than 5 hours a day) . Thank you Tania you're the best !!

I have been doing pilate for many years now and it is only since going to Peacock Pilate that I am experiencing the real thing. Having one to one lessons with Tania has been the best experience, we constantly try out new exercises and work on all areas of my body. Tania knows how to push you while still making the session fun and interesting. Not only you feel like you have had the best work out, the session also goes very quickly which in my eyes is always a good sign! I highly recommend to anyone, never felt so toned and alive before going to Peacock.

I started Pilates lessons with Tania about four years ago following a recommendation by my physiotherapist who was treating me for painful lower back issues which had plagued me for nearly two decades. What Tania has done is nothing short of miraculous - I can't thank her enough for the physical strength she has given me; my lower back rarely bothers me these days. Tania's depth of knowledge, professionalism, level of care, clear instructions not to mention her passion and killer sense of humour (she is one of the funniest people I know) are unsurpassed. I love you Tania!

Tania is a brilliant trainer, who is very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and a great motivator. She has a very hands-on approach - provides you with clear instructions and pays very close attention to ensure you're doing the correct movement and engaging the relevant muscles for each exercise. She has a passionate approach to Pilates helping people reach their health and fitness goals. I feel like I have come a long way, I'm much more toned and my core is much stronger. One of the main reasons for coming was to improve my posture and help with my neck/shoulder and lower back pain and stiffness that I suffer from as a result of my job. I can see a massive improvement in my posture and more aware of the way I hold myself. The pain and stiffness has been rectified.The knowledge and tips I have gained from Tania have had a massive positive impact on my performance when going for runs. The sessions are so much fun and I'm always looking forward to my next class!
