“I have been doing pilates with Mel for about a year now, and have done both mat and reformer classes, as well as private classes at home, group classes in the studio and group zoom classes. I could not recommend Mel’s classes more highly! She is so knowledgable and tailors every class to your needs. I’ve had great results since working with Mel. She is a really supportive teacher and her classes are something I look forward to each week.”

“I never thought I would enjoy Pilates as much! I viewed exercise as a bit of a necessary evil before I met Mel – other than a gentle round of golf – and hated classes where you have to measure yourself against others. Mel’s one on one class gave me a great place to challenge myself without feeling inadequate and her expert yet lighthearted guidance means I genuinely enjoy going. She lets it be meditative (I like being on the reformer with my eyes closed) yet effective to a degree that surprises me. All I’ve had to do is accept that the words, ‘Last 3…’ are almost always followed by, ‘On each side’!!!”

“Melanie is an excellent Pilates instructor. She challenges whilst watching for quality of movement. She really knows her subject. She has a wonderfully sunny disposition and loads of warm energy. I highly recommend her. From a former pilates instructor…”

“Mel’s classes are a pleasure to attend, they are strengthening and physical but also really fun. I love her visual images, which make me smile through the pain! She is a fabulous teacher, who explains everything and really understands individual needs. She also has eagle eyes for any incorrect postures. 😆 I’ve been doing her mat classes for a couple of years, she is always so positive and upbeat. Highly recommend her.”

Kirsty, Biot

“I recommend Melanie’s classes to anyone at any level, whether total beginner or expert. Mélanie is my family’s pilates teacher, I have been working with her for over a year. I do the classes at home, and she has adapted each session to my needs that day, doing pilates with Mélanie has improved my general health and wellbeing and reduced back ache from office work. My strength and mobility has also improved and I know my body better. Thank you Melanie! ”
