Don't take our word for it - listen to what some of our clients have to say.......

My enthusiasm for Pilates took on a new dimension when I started training with Alison Goodman at Pilatesnation. The classes are challenging, aerobic and exhilarating. Alison has helped me to keep working through the odd injury by improving my working posture and stamina and I am very happy to recommend my patients to Alison for rehabilitation work as part of their fitness regime.

Nicky Sharp, Registered Osteopath

I am a reluctant excerciser and my muscles are stiff and tight. I came to Alison somewhat reluctantly three months ago to try something that I had heard a lot about but had never experienced. Alison has converted me to Pilates as a method of body conditioning! She explains the methodology so well and is very patient and understanding. Her demonstrations of the exercises really focus the brain on what is required but does not already come naturally. I already feel much improved in that my muscles are more supple and my aches and pains are lessening. Alison is a great teacher and I feel fortunate to have discovered her.

Dr Karen Benson

I am really enthusiastic about the class. Apart from the fact that I find the exercises fascinating and a really good workout, I feel a huge improvement in the last 6 weeks. The most surprising change is an improvement in my aerobic capacity, which I noticed when cycling. My pulse rate at the biggest effort has dropped by 20%! I didn't expect that to be an effect of Pilates!

Having attended Pilates classes for several years, it was only when I came to Alison's classes at Pilatesnation that I started to understand the importance of the subleties of Pilates. The level of tuition in each class, albeit a group, feels like 1:1 as Alison makes it her business to know and understand each client's body. Personally this has enabled me to correct a hip problem that had left me in constant pain and improve my posture, flexibility and body shape. So much so that I've had to drop a size in jeans - not bad for a 47 year old!

Alison is a fantastic Pilates teacher, so motivational and energising. She keeps the class going as a team but also manages to give each person individual attention according to their level. We have really noticed the difference since we started going to classes - old legacy strains and pains are a thing of the past! There's no room for coasting at Pilates Nation and you can definitely feel yourself improving. We really look forward to our Saturday morning classes - it's a great way to start the weekend!

I have found Pilates classes with Alison Goodman so beneficial to my posture, strength and general wellbeing that I have dropped my gym subscription and now workout at Pilatesnation twice a week!

My back problems ended when my Pilates classes started!
