Testimonials

“Carla is the best Pilates teacher I have had in almost 20 years! She is knowledgeable, caring and fun. Our classes are well structured and different each week. I leave feeling that my body has really benefitted from a therapeutic session.  I would highly recommend her classes.” Jane D., Wimbledon, London
“Carla is a wonderful, inspiring teacher. Her classes always hit that magic sweet spot of being both great fun yet challenging. She’s encouraging, non-judgemental and inclusive which contributes hugely to the relaxed and friendly atmosphere. She explains everything clearly, pointing out what to be aware of as she urges us on. At the end of each class, you just feel one whole lot better. On a personal level, my abs are firmer, my balance much improved and I am altogether much more flexible no mean feat after a full knee replacement. Join her if you can.” Vicky P., Southfields, London

“Carla is an amazing teacher. She varies the classes each time, focussing on different parts of the body and is always considerate to everyone’s needs and ailments. I look forward to our class every week and feel thoroughly stretched and revitalised every time.” Tony S., Southfields, London
“I so enjoy my classes with Carla. She’s caring, attentive, knowledgeable, encouraging, and most of all fun. I leave the classes with a spring in my step and a feeling that I’ve managed to safely go that little bit further. Highly recommended.” Janet H., Wimbledon, London
“Having tried more than one Pilates teacher’s classes, I find Carla’s by far the best – well structured, attentive to individual body issues, fun, but we do good work.  Thank you, Carla!” – Jenny P., Richmond, London
“I really enjoy Carla’s classes. Her manner is always positive and cheery, and her instructions clear. And I feel happy to adapt around my shoulder issues without issue (which not all instructors are good at, so thank you for this, Carla 😍). I’ve been doing Pilates for nearly 25 years, but recent health issues have been a big setback to lots of things, including my fitness, flexibility and strength, but I feel very confident and positive about working my way back into the groove under Carla’s watchful eye!” – Sharon S., Wimbledon Village, London
“Over the last few years I’ve had to deal with some health issues and I’d come to feel somewhat powerless in the face of my increasing decrepitude. However, a chance encounter in a local community centre changed things for the better. Carla’s Pilates class was recommended and, having taken classes in the distant past, I thought, maybe this is my way back to a healthier body and mind. After half a dozen classes, under Carla’s gentle but watchful gaze, I can feel some of that negative and defeatist mindset fading. Carla’s approach is about embracing the possibility of change and I can personally recommend her classes.” – John K., Richmond, London
“Carla’s classes are varied and fun whilst having a strong focus on good movement. But more than this, she takes the time to understand individual needs and creates a strong, supportive environment.” – Sarah B., Wimbledon, London

“Although I am in my 80’s and suffer from neuropathy in my feet and lower legs, this doesn’t prevent me from benefitting greatly from the sessions I have with Carla every week.

“Carla is a most excellent and caring Pilates teacher. Her classes are fun, helpful, challenging and very thorough, and she is always aware of any problems we might have. I cannot recommend her highly enough!” – Liz G., Wimbledon Village, London
“I joined Carla’s Pilates class after firstly attending the Cambrian Gym in Richmond, as part of my recovery from a fracture in my lumbar spine. From the very first session I was taken in by Carla’s caring nature and kindness. She goes that extra mile to make every member of the class feel important, and always gives help and support with the exercises to those who need it. I also find the class fun, as Carla has an amazing sense of humour.  She is, of course, a very competent teacher her instructions are easy to follow. Carla is wonderful and I highly recommend her!” – Ros C., Richmond, London

“I have found Carla’s approach to our Pilates classes extremely encouraging and helpful.  I am a pensioner in my 70s, but Carla’s attitude makes me feel like a young woman again! She is very clear and precise about how we should do the exercises, and explains briefly, but clearly, what part of the body the exercise is helping. She is wonderfully supportive and fun. I would recommend her classes to anyone.” – Helen S., Richmond, London
