Pilates with Sam

Build Strength, Find Balance, Feel Better – Pilates for Every Body

ABOUT
Hi, I’m Sam! After years in the fast-paced world of office life as an Executive Assistant, my life took a beautiful turn when I had my daughter. It was during this new chapter that I discovered Pilates. It started as a much-needed escape and quickly grew into a passion that transformed my life.

Fitness has always been part of my story but Pilates brought me a new kind of strength, focus and sense of accomplishment. Now, I’m so excited to share that joy with you!

I'm HFE qualified in Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates and Pre / Post Natal.

I’ve been going to Pilates with Sam since July, and I’ve loved every class. I hadn’t done any exercise for years before starting, but it really didn’t matter — you don’t need to be fit to begin, and Sam makes everything feel possible. The classes are small (just four of us plus Sam), which means you get loads of attention and guidance. My balance and core have improved so much, and I feel stronger and more in control of my body than I have in ages. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to feel better in their own skin. What I really appreciate is how well she can adapt exercises for different injuries, levels, and even pregnancies, nothing ever feels one-size-fits-all. She pushes you in the best possible way while still making you feel supported. She’s a wonderful individual and I’d recommend her to absolutely anyone.

I joined Sam’s mat Pilates classes in the summer and I can’t recommend her enough. She has been incredible at supporting my post surgery recovery, helping me build strength, heal, and regain my confidence. Sam is knowledgeable, encouraging, and creates such a welcoming environment. I always look forward to her classes and highly recommend them to anyone looking to improve their strength and wellbeing!

F.A.Q

Do I need to bring any equipment with me?

No, I will provide you with a mat, yoga blocks and small equipment should we need it.

I'm a beginner, can I still join your class?

I welcome all abilities to my classes, I work on layering my classes so you can progress the movement as much as your body allows. I will always modify the movements as well to help maintain alignment. 

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable, form fitting clothing that allows you to move freely. I would also recommend wearing grip socks over normal socks to help with stability on the mat.

Will Pilates help with my back pain?

Yes, Pilates can help with back pain by strengthening the core muscles, which are important for supporting the spine. It's always a good idea to check with a healthcare professional before starting Pilates if you have an injury.
