Catalyst Pilates

Jon is a very thoughtful, considerate and experienced polestar pilates practitioner. He is helping me address post-surgical conditions following a knee operation and, more generally, to develop and achieve wellness goals during my retirement. Jon's own physical condition and expertise in this field is nothing short of an inspiration (should anyone doubt the benefits of Pilates) .

I've been attending 1 to 1 sessions for well over a year and I find them miraculous. Jon is a very talented and knowledgeable practitioner who understands my own past injuries and what my body can achieve. Sessions help realign my body and movement so that I feel loose, flexible, strong, and filled with energy. I'm 55 years old and most of my peers suffer from restricted movement or weakness/pain in many parts of their bodies - and these sessions have kept me supple and flexible whilst supporting my sporting activities. Sessions adapt week by week to whats needed and best of all, my development is towards good balanced body function throughout life, meaning I can continue to move like a 20 year old for many years to come. I would recommend this for anyone. Whether you are young or old, fit or recovering from injury, a supple gymnast or stiff as a sargeant major, Polestar Pilates with Catalyst will progressively transform you into a fitter healthier person.

Jon classes changed my quality of life. I always had back issues and after a few classes my pain went away and now I'm a lot more conscious about my body. He is an exceptional teacher and professional, always looking after your needs.

First thing to say is that Jon, the instructor is very knowledgeable and does exercises that are suitable for our needs and physical conditions.
Second thing is that they are going being the government recommendations to have a CORONA free environment.

Catalyst Pilates has recently re-opened with updated features to meet government recommendations for safety. There's better ventilation, equipments with surfaces that can be easily desinfected.

I felt safe and well taken care. There was no contact with other customers, Jon is taking a good time between clients to carry all necessary cleaning too.

If mobility is something you care about, and if you want to acquire more physical autonomy, you're at the right place.

I have done 3-4 sessions with Jon, and each of them was beyond my expectations. Jon uses Pilates, as well as his extended knowledge of the body anatomy, and a pedagogic approach to unveil the strategies our body adopt to compensate for physical weaknesses or blockages. Using imagery, and cues, he then provides tools to push the body outside its present state, such that it can utilises its full capacity.

I'm a 30-ish year old physically active (climbing) person with a mostly desk job, and I was feeling stuck in my practice when I decided I needed to try something different. I definitely recommend working with Jon to whoever feels in the same situation. Each session is an opportunity to learn about yourself, and what your body can do, that you didn't think was possible before.

Thanks Jon :)

Jon is an exceptional, dedicated, caring and professional human being. His knowledge, curiosity, open mind, personalized approach is a unique combination.
I started working with Jon around two years ago and it has changed many things in me. For example, my body awareness, posture, the way I move and strength.
I keep on learning and I can't imagine myself without working with Jon.
