Pilates By Jacqui

As we age, we become weaker and our bodies stiffen up – but this is not inevitable if we take appropriate action. I am 78 and I can confidently say that I am stronger and more flexible than I was when I started attending Pilates classes with Jacqui about five years ago, and I plan to keep going. Jacqui’s classes are quite demanding and I always end one with a sense that I have accomplished something worthwhile. However she is careful to modify exercises to accommodate individual clients’ needs, for instance in the case of an injury or chronic condition. I can strongly recommend Pilates by Jacqui for people of any age.

I have been doing STOTT Pilates with Jacqui twice a week since August 2023. This is personally the longest time I have been able to stick to any form of exercise program. Jacqui is amazing, even though the group consists of 3 or 4 people, it always feels like a private class. She takes so much care ensuring you have proper form and technique. I just love it! I suffer from Rheumatoid Artritis and I just feel so much better overall.

After breaking my hip, Jacqui’s rehabilitation program with STOTT Pilates has not only strengthened the muscles and improved the mobility of my affected leg but also restored strength and flexibility to my whole body after a long period of bed rest. I am now fitter and have better core strength than before my accident. I highly recommend Pilates by Jacqui.

If you’re looking for a dedicated Pilates instructor look no further. Jacqui is extremely professional, highly competent and passionate about her work. I was battling with hectic nek spams due to my corporate job sitting stationary in front of the computer all day and reached out to Jacqui about 4 years ago. Subsequently I have strengthened my core and rarely battle with spasms these days. My running and HIIT training has also improved significantly. I attend the group classes which are highly enjoyable and ever changing and keeps me challenged. Jacqui is really hands-on in her guidance, you really get your money’s worth compared to other studios. Jacqui has always stays abreast of the latest Pilates techniques and goes for training very often. I have recently completed Preggy Pilates and have retained my core strength and have rarely battled with lower back aches. Friends and family are surprised with how strong I still am. My favourite outcome is my ability to ‘hug and lift baby’ due to my core strength. :-) Pilates has become a lifestyle thanks to Jacqui.

Jacqui is an amazing Pilates instructor. She shows careful attention to detail for each class member. Her focus is on quality and care, and not quantity. I had a shoulder injury, which no longer bothers me after years spent in Jacqui's class. I have also enjoyed increased flexibility, strength and tone in my body.
