Ciara’s pilates classes have been the best I have ever been to. She provides all the equipment and guides you through how to use everything in each session. You will leave every session feeling like you have used every muscle in your body, but it has helped so much with my core strength and overall strength over the years.

I joined Ciara’s classes after a long period of intense office working that affected my strength, mobility and sense of self-esteem.
In the past year, my body posture changed, my strength built up and my back mobility is unprecedented! I couldn’t be more grateful to her for all she does for each of us every week or recommend Ciara’s classes enough! You will be lucky to join her class and have her care and attention! I know I am 🙂

I’ve suffered with terrible lower back pain and sciatica since the birth of my first son 11 years ago. After visiting a chiropractor, I was advised to start pilates. I saw a post on Facebook for local classes with Ciara, and after my first session I realised that although this was a group session, Ciara was amazing with helping everyone with their individual needs and capabilities. I can’t rate Ciara enough! And if it wasn’t for now living way too far away I would still be attending classes!

Pilates with Ciara always felt welcoming and inclusive for all abilities. I was grateful for her care taken to make sure I was doing the exercises correctly and most importantly the sessions were always a lot of fun. Thank you!

 I have been doing yoga and Pilates for over 15 years and Ciara classes are simply the best. Ciara gives options with each exercise and takes time and care to go round the class to look after you. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Ciara combines her unique experiences as a physiotherapist, elite athlete and Pilates instructor to deliver exceptional Pilates classes, which she effortlessly tailors to everyone’s needs and abilities throughout the sessions.

I started attending Ciara’s Pilates classes as a form of injury prevention. I play competitive tennis and wanted to stay as injury free as possible. During the classes there are always clear demonstrations and also a variety of levels for each exercise. Ciara is very hands on and is always available to answer questions make any adjustments or suggest alternative exercises. The classes are very welcoming and people of all levels of fitness and experience attend. I can feel, and see, the benefit of attending a regular Pilates class and would recommend anyone to try Ciara’s class.
In three words I would describe the classes as positive, challenging and fun.

I recently attended one of Ciara’s Pilates classes, and it was so enjoyable, for something I wouldn’t do very often, I felt it benefited me hugely , and was also super fun! The community is so warm and friendly, going and not knowing anyone didn’t make a difference, there is great inclusivity and a chance to make your own suggestions, Ciara’s advice is always specific to what you need, ranging from aspiring professional athletes, to mums! She always finds a way to make a hard workout fun, but never lets you give up , I will definitely be returning!

I started practicing Pilates with Ciara after the birth of my second child. I had briefly done some Pilates whilst pregnant to help with some back pain I was experiencing through the NHS, but never really grasped the technique. I immediately noticed in Ciara’s lessons how well she explains the movements and also makes time to come around everybody and check they are carried out correctly. Ciara also has an ability to tailor her sessions for everyone. She demonstrates the moves at all different levels to suit everyone in her class, ensuring it is inclusive yet also challenging. I always felt progress after her sessions. In addition to all of the above, I find Ciara to be an inspirational Pilates teacher. She is so incredibly passionate about Pilates and explains what the movements are doing to your body/muscle groups.

As parents we really enjoy the pilates sessions as a way to keep our body’s supple, injury free and enabling us to keep active through sport and as parents. Your sessions are a highlight of our week and that’s a testament the warm welcome, the meticulous planning and plenty of challenges if you want them.

I did some of Ciara’s Pilates classes online and found it really useful. She’s a great teacher, making sure your technique is right and giving you pointers to help with things. I really love Pilates and it makes your body feel so much better, whether you’re an athlete or just someone who wants to keep their body mobile and strong.

I’ve attended numerous pilates classes and feel it really helped my cycling performance on the world class stage, helping me remain injury free. The classes are challenging but offer a variety of mobility and strengthening exercises with some lovely relaxation at the end! Can’t recommend enough!

I’ve been to many of Ciara’s pilates classed in person and online in covid and I can honestly say she’s one of the best instructors I’ve ever had! Her deep knowledge really sets her apart, and it’s clear that her background as both a physiotherapist and a former athlete is invaluable in her classes. Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced, she tailors each class to ensure you’re getting the most out of it. I highly recommend Ciara’s classes to anyone.

I injured my back while cycling and was recommended to start pilates to help manage that. I attended quite a few other Pilates classes before Ciara’s and found hers are by far the best I’ve been to. Her expert knowledge, way of explaining and knack of setting the right level of challenge really make her stand out. Would recommend her classes to anyone!

I have always been a big believer in Pilates. Since recovering from a broken back in 2014 it’s been a big part of my life and when Ciara started teaching and offering online classes in 2020 I was able to take part from afar. 

Ciara’s knowledge of the body was so incredible. All the variations she offers for exercises depending on your ability and variety within her sessions kept things fun, challenging and interesting. I feel like I could really connect with the way that Ciara was teaching and felt every single tiny movement. 
Whether you are a beginner or advanced Ciara caters to everyone. Her wealth of knowledge from being a physio means her explanations are excellent.
