Breathe Classical Pilates

I've been attending sessions at Breathe for 5 years. Having experienced back pain for 15+ years, I wanted to strengthen my muscles to better support my joints and ease pain. My hypermobility means its easy to over-extend and injure myself, which I'd done often (including a serious injury in a gym Pilates class). I wanted specialist help from well-trained teachers, which is exactly what I get from Breathe, both from classes and 1-1s. The teachers are fantastic - knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging. I didn't initially transition to online sessions in March - I wanted to wait until we could return to the studio - but after a few months I really regretted it. I felt weaker and less coordinated. The online sessions have been fantastic - I've benefited from the same level of insightful teaching that challenges and strengthens my body but from home.

I have been attending Breathe Pilates for just over three years now and I would highly recommend to anyone. The whole team are extremely friendly and make you feel comfortable whether you're a beginner or advanced! On a personal level as well as helping me with my physical strength they are always there to lend a ear if you ever want to get something off your chest!

I've been doing Pilates classes at Breathe for a couple of years. Really friendly and non-intimidating teachers, I fitted straight in as a complete newbie with a natural loathing of any sort of exercise class. I feel immensely better for my regular Pilates fix - I'm more strong and flexible now in my 50's than I was in my 30's.

My experience of attending reformer classes at Breathe has been brilliant. I suffer from arthritis and so had to agree to a hip replacement about four years ago as I was in a lot of pain and the hip kept giving way due to the deterioration of the joint. Building up the muscles around the hip joint prior to the agreed date I feel contributed tremendously to the success of the operation and my quick recovery.As soon as I was well again my consultant advised I needed to have the other hip replaced as soon as possible but I made the decision to postpone that second operation as long as I could by exercising.To do this I committed to going to Pilates classes as much as possible. and in my experience attending Breathe reformer classes regularly has ensured this process and postponed the inevitable.Recently I have agreed to have the other hip replaced but I am happy that this date is three years later than the operation would have been if I'd just gone with the timescale that my consultant originally suggested. Also the exercise regime has extended my ability to keep fit, mobile and trouble free for those three years and has increased my confidence in going forward for the next few years.

Fantastic I have been going for some time now its help my back ache no end!

I have worked at Breathe for over a month now. Renting a room to consult with clients who see me for help using herbal medicine for health problems.The building is always clean, has a really nice calm atmosphere and all of the therapists, bodyworkers and instructors who use it are really friendly and very passionate about what they do.The pilates rooms look amazing!

Breathe is an excellent studio with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, first class equipment and instructors who are both highly trained and incredibly encouraging. I’ve seen positive results from both the 1:1s and classes and would highly recommend either in a heartbeat.

Breathe provides outstanding Pilates classes from a range of experienced teachers. They are always friendly and supportive, tailoring the sessions to suit you.I recommend this place to everyone, they have been there for me through the years; helping with my hyper mobility, my challenges with anxiety along with back and neck problems! An amazing team- thank you x
