"I have been doing Sarah’s Pilates classes for some years now and would highly recommend them to anyone. Sarah is a brilliant teacher. She models the exercises so well, and explains things clearly. She understands any difficulties which individuals may have, and adapts the exercises in a sensitive way. Pilates has helped me to maintain my flexibility and keep a good posture. I come away from the classes feeling both serene and energised!"

'When the doctor told me I had a severe prolapse in my lower back and would need surgery I felt very upset. However he also suggested that Pilates would help me. Thank goodness I found Sarah. Her Pilates classes are good fun and I seem to work hard without realising it. She gives individual care and attention to everyone in the class, so I'm never worried about damaging my back.. She is always positive, fabulous at explaining what to do and is very skilled at managing different levels of ability in one class. Her warm, encouraging appoach is a real confidence boost and I feel much better, my back is improving and I've avoided surgery. Thank you Sarah."

"I have regularly attended Sarah's classes for 7 years having been advised to try Pilates for recovery following disc prolapse. I felt welcome and enjoyed the classes immediately . I was pleasantly surprised to learn increased body awareness that has improved my posture and find that I was also developing my skills with the exercies. I have developed confidence in my body and I can now do exercises I would at one time have thought quite impossible for me. Sarah's classes show thoughtful planning, awareness of individual needs and progression. She is highly skilled in communicating and demonstrating, providing a varied, graded and tailored exercise programme, I unreservedly recommend Sarah's classes."

"I had been suffering with chronic back pain for years (since my mid 30s) and I was advised that surgery was the only solution. I contacted a personal trainer and she advised me try Pilates and recommended Sarah.
Before joining one of her classes Sarah held a one to one session with me in order to assess what movements would be beneficial. I then joined a class and the benefits were immediate, my back felt much more mobile. The Pilates classes are small and friendly. Sarah gives individual attention when necessary while also adapting movements for people with specif injuries. She is encouraging and supportive, and very positive in her feedback.
Recently I have had an individual session with Sarah, in her fully equipped Pilates cabin. I found this invaluable in refining specific movements and will continue to have these sessions on a termly basis. I believe that Sarah's Pilates classes have given me a much better quality of life and would not hesitate to give her the highest recommendation."

"I moved to Birmingham in 2000 and went through a few Pilates classes before finding Sarah Jones on the Internet. The individual attention that you get in Sarah’s class is second to none. She is a dedicated teacher and her classes are a lot of fun too. Sarah is a lovely, warm person who genuinely cares about her students and their progress.
I have been going to Sarah’s weekly class in Solihull for quite a few years now and I have reaped the benefits in many ways. better posture, balance, strength and flexibility. Pilates helps to build long, lean muscles and core strength so as to help avoid injury. My body awareness has improved immeasurably. I would wholly recommend Sarah Jones, as she is the best teacher I have had to date."

"I have been attending Sarah’s classes for many (can’t remember how many!) years now and wouldn’t go to any other teacher; she is absolutely marvellous. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis and pilates has helped all my health problems tremendously. The exercises do not cure the problems but help my body to cope more efficiently, thus enabling me to enjoy a better quality of life. Sarah is highly professional, extremely knowledgeable and very caring. She knows and understands the health problems of each client and will tell people if she thinks an exercise is not suitable for their body and provide an alternative. Classes are small and I feel as if I am getting one to one attention; she constantly walks around helping everybody."

""A truly amazing Pilates teacher, very experienced and intuitive. Sarah always seems to recognise when to push me to achieve more and when I need to find my own way through my body’s resistance. I always leave class feeling better about myself and enthusiastic about Pilates. Thanks Sarah, you’re fab!"
