Pilates 4 U

I have attending Jim’s class in person and via Zoom over many years. He is an excellent teacher, with a wealth of experience keeping class interesting and perfect for every age and fitness level. It really does help your flexibility and core strength. Great for someone fit and active trying to improve this, or a beginner on their fitness journey. Really recommend you give it go.

I’ve been doing pilates with Jim on Zoom for quite awhile now. I was originally just trying it for a few weeks during the height of lockdown in London, but I ended up enjoying it so much it’s become part of my weekly routine. Jim’s classes always have an easy going and engaging atmosphere. I’d say it’s also very beginner friendly, as he demonstrates alternative moves so all ability levels are covered. I’ve definitely become more flexible since taking his classes so I would highly recommend them!

I’ve been attending these classes for a number of years. Jim is a very friendly, approachable professional. He tailors his classes to suit all abilities. I was so impressed during the pandemic at how quickly he signed up to zoom and had us all attending virtual classes. The friendly camaraderie was so welcome. If you’re looking for a friendly exercise class, this is the class for you.

I've been attending Pilates4U for at least 3 years now, having never done Pilates before. I was recommended Pilates by my Physiotherapist and I'm so glad I found this class. Jim is a welcoming, friendly and professional instructor with a wealth of knowledge in his subject and a personable way. I think it's good exercise for those of all ages and abilities, in a relaxed environment.

Zoom Pilates with Jim is the perfect fit for my needs. Carefully designed weekly sessions which help my flexibility and well-being - all in the comfort of my home. My class covers all levels (I'm one of the basic ones!). The friendly chats as we go through our exercises is an added bonus. And excellent value too!

I have been attending Jim's Pilates classes regularly for several years and can highly recommend them. He creates a very friendly and positive atmosphere in the sessions and provides you with graded options for the exercises, so that you can choose the ones which suit you best. He introduces new exercises into the routines on a regular basis, to add variety, and caters for all abilities. I was particularly grateful to him for so quickly mastering Zoom and conducting online lessons throughout the Covid pandemic - full marks to him for his flexibility!

Prior to joining Pilates 4U I had accumulated a full portfolio of failed exercise regimes - lapsed gym memberships, abandoned yoga classes, celebrity videos gathering dust on the shelf. Jim’s classes are friendly, both challenging and inclusive for all levels and always cheer me up. And yes we actually do a lot of Pilates as well as chat! I’ve lost track of the years, I think it’s probably 8 or 9, and I know my balance and flexibility have benefited hugely. The online class option introduced during COVID works really well for me and it means I will be able to continue when we move later this year.

I started Pilates with Jim 14 years ago to reduce the back pain I as experiencing at work from a desk job. It helped so much! In recent years my pilates group has felt more like a group of friends where we share news and have fun together. Highly recommended.
