Simon Parker Pilates, Rainham

Great experience with Simon on one of his Pilates session. He focuses on the needs of the client, I suffer from lower back ache which Simon took into account. Very helpful and the class helped me relax immensely. Highly recommended.

Having struggled with back pain from DDD & sciatica for over30 years, I took the leap & joined a taster class with Simon. After 1 class, I felt much more energised & optimistic for real results, having had countless procedures on my back that never work or last. These classes are really helping me take back control of the pain & gaining back my mobility & flexibility. Simon is very informative & helpful, & I wouldn't hesitate in recommending his Pilates to friends & family.

I started Pilates classes because I wanted to improve my well-being and thought it would also help with a lower back problem. I love the me time" that I get from attending Simon's classes. It's a place that I can totally switch off and forget about what else is going on. Simon is an excellent instructor and takes time to encourage and support you to improve at each class. I am also a keen badminton player and after returning to play after a long absence following the COVID pandemic

I joined Simon's pilates classes almost a year ago to see if it would help with ongoing issues with my back. Things were so bad I struggled to get through the day without pain and bending down or even putting socks on were things I struggled immensley with.Now I'm pain free for the first time in years and I wish I'd joined Simons classes sooner. Highly recommend!

Having stuffered with lower back pain and hip pain, for the last 8 years, and having tried physio, the oesteopath and a gym membership…. I found Simon online and decided to give his classes a try.I’m three quarters of the way through my 12 weeks and I have already noticed the benefits, I don’t have the pains I used to have when I lifted anything heavy. My day to day comfort has massively improved and I am now able to sleep in my bed without having extra padding under my back.I am intending to stick with Simon as his classes and understanding of my problems have really aided my development.His classes are really enjoyable and Simon is very approachable and he put me at ease straight away. I’m looking forward to continuing on my journey to a stronger me, Thanks to Simon.

I cannot recommend Simon Parker Pilates enough! I have been attending Simon’s classes now for almost 3 years and thoroughly enjoy them each time.I started Simon’s classes when I first started training for the London Marathon and it was one of the best things I did as part of my training. It helped to make me stronger and control my breathing while on a run. Simon is professional, his classes are informative and thorough, he will explain the what, why and how of each exercise. If you’re unable to do a move he will adapt it to suit your needs to ensure you’re still receiving the benefit.It’s so easy to join Simon’s classes too, the website is very user friendly with plenty of options to suit your availability. The flexibility is a big bonus for me, so I am still able to attend a class once a week even when I have other work and life commitments.Pilates makes me feel stronger, more supple, leaner, calmer and relaxed. From the first time you attend, you’ll see the benefits it will bring and you won’t regret signing up.

While the time since the start of the pandemic provided the great opportunity to work from home, this came with the downside of sitting for most of my work days indoors. Result: weight gain neglected posture, and back/shoulder discomfort and instability. Consequently, I recently made the decision to search for and return to Pilates, which I used to do regularly over the past three decades. A search for classes within walking distance of my home led me to Simon Parker Pilates and I immediately signed up and attended his free taster session. Any initial apprehension about fitting in or managing the pace after a long absence was very quickly put to rest. Simon is a warm, welcoming, easy-going, professional and clearly a skilled Pilates practitioner. Following the taster session, I immediately committed to the three-month twice weekly programme with the aim of getting fully back into practice and incorporating Pilates in my return-to-fitness regime. I highly recommend Simon and his Pilates practice.

I started with Simon as I was having back problems. Simon has been supportive throughout, his communication has been fantastic and has even provided access to YouTube sessions to follow along with as a booster to the classes.The classes are tailored to enable everyone to challenge themselves as much as they like by Simon giving 2 or 3 options for each exercise.Having completed the 12 week workshop, my back issue has hugely improved. This is down to my core strength and flexibility both improving.I would fully recommend Simon to anyone looking for Pilate classes to help them overcome back problems or improve their overall health and wellbeing.

I joined Simon pilates classes to see if it would help with my aching joints, I was a little unsure at first but I feel now after completing the 12 weeks course it has differently helped, the group of people are very friendly and Simon himself makes you feel very welcome, always keeping you up to date.I attend the classes on my own which I normally don't like.doing (always need a friend ) I feel very relaxed there that has made going alot easier,

I have been suffering from lower back pain, exacerbated by working from home for long periods as a result of Covid.Despite only being 42 I am now in pain everyday and find getting up/moving in bed a struggle.I had heard that Pilates is a good way of managing back pain so I signed up for a taster session with Simon Parker Pilates.I didn’t really know what to expect however Simon was super helpful leading up to the session and made me feel very comfortable ahead of my arrival. He then spent time ahead of the class discussing my specific issues.The class itself was great; all participants were fellow ‘beginners’ and you only need move your body to a point which is comfortable for you.I had never done Pilates before so the equipment used was all new to me however the pace of the class means you have plenty of time to pick up how to use it.I loved feeling my core muscles engaging, along with the relief felt with a simple pelvis adjustment.I’m now looking forward to completing a 12 week course to help myself manage my back pain.If you have any doubts I would seriously recommend attending a taster session. It’s free so what have you got to lose?
