"When I first started going to Pilates, I was already fairly fit, but I soon discovered that I could still improve a lot! I’ve seen a marked improvement in my core strength and my balance, and it still continues to get better every session I attend. I used to find that standing for prolonged periods of time would cause me pain in my lower back, but this has almost completely stopped since I started Pilates.

As for Jo as an instructor; I can't speak highly enough. From my very first session she has always been friendly and welcoming. She's always happy to spend time with beginners, to make sure they are comfortable doing any new moves. Yet she's also very good at pushing people just outside their comfort zone, to get them continuously improving."

"I started Pilates to assist with physio to recover from injury. Within a short amount of time my injury stress was reduced and then improved. Through Joanne's teaching I've made Pilates the core to my training plan and aiding my performance in races. With a professional friendly calming approach Joanne will advance any individual on. I recommend these classes to beginners and advance. I look forward to Powley Pilates classes. They are second to none!"
