How I help you

Pilates isn't just about getting stronger or more flexible. It's about feeling good in your body AND enjoying yourself along the way!

Through welcoming, adaptable Pilates classes, I help you:

  • Ease everyday stiffness and tension, especially through your back, hips and shoulders.

  • Build strength, improve mobility and feel more confident in your body as you get older.

  • Move at your own pace, without pressure, judgement or needing to be flexible to begin with.

  • Take an hour for YOU, away from the never-ending to-do list.

  • Feel part of a friendly, supportive community where there's plenty of laughter, a little banter and absolutely no need to take ourselves too seriously!

Because Pilates should be something you look forward to, not another thing on your to-do list!

Why Pilates?

Why Pilates?

I first discovered Pilates while recovering from a serious back injury.
At the time, I honestly didn’t think it was for me — but within a short space of time, I could feel the difference.

Pilates didn’t just support my recovery… it completely changed my relationship with my body.
It became something I relied on, something I believed in — and eventually, something I felt passionate about sharing with others.

  • - Sheron

    “After completing one of Cheryl’s challenges, I started doing a short session each morning and quickly noticed I felt more alert, energised, and ready for the day. Even my arthritis improved—I’m less stiff and have fewer aches and pains. The classes are so convenient, I can roll out of bed and straight onto the mat… Cheryl feels like part of the family!”

FAQs *

  • My answer is always yes… but I do recommend starting with a 1:1 session if you’re completely new.

    This gives me the chance to understand where your body is at, guide you through the basics, and show you how to adapt the exercises — so you feel more confident when you join a class.

    If you’re joining online, there are plenty of Beginner sessions to choose from, and I’m always here to support and guide you along the way 🤍

  • With some of the classes, equipment will be used as it adds variety plus makes the exercises a little more challenging. There are items you can use around the house to make it inexpensive such as the following:-

    Ball = Cushion or a deflated ball

    Small hand weights = Couple of tins from the cupboard

    Long band (2 metre) = This one is a little more difficult, however you can purchase from a sports shop or on Amazon

    Loop band = Once you have purchased the long band you can tie in a knot to use as a smaller band

  • Yes you can cancel at any time.

  • You can make a payment on any day between the 1st and the 28th. This will be an automated payment once you have set up your membership. Your payment date will be the day you join.

  • It really depends on the injury, but in all cases you will need to speak to your GP for them to confirm that this type of exercise is suitable.

    Just to also confirm these classes are not suitable for pre/post natal. Classes for these will be added soon.

  • You will need to wear casual comfortable clothing and either go bare feet or socks that have the little grips at the bottom.

    Ensure you have enough space for a mat or a towel to lay down on if you're doing a class at home.

  • The simple answer is no — and there’s a reason for that.

    I want to help you build consistency, create a routine, and really feel the benefits of Pilates over time.

    When you commit to regular classes, you’re not just booking a session — you’re choosing to prioritise yourself and your body.
