Pilates Works Studio

Featured client: Nicole

Why did you start to do Pilates?

I wanted to limber up and regain some of my lost flexibility. Due to a heart condition I've never been able to do sports, but a Pilates regime adapted to my physical condition allowed me to get moving again.

How did you hear about the PW studio?

I had heard an interview with Ann on Radio2, just before her studio opened.
We've been one of her very first clients, and we're still here every week!

Do you remember what your first impressions of a Pilates class were?

For me it was a different way of moving but a good one.

What kind of effect do the Pilates exercises have on you?

I'm in better shape than I ever was and my posture has improved immensely.

What is your favourite exercise (and why)?

Rolling Like a Ball because it really relaxes my back.

The Swan on the barrel, because I'm good at it and I feel it really opens up my upper torso.

I do a duet session twice a week with my friend Rita.

Do you do Pilates at home every now and then?

Every now and then I practice the Roll Up at home, because after all this time it's still a hard exercise for me to do.
