Pilates works for me on so many levels – it’s a safe and structured way to tone and strengthen your body and a wonderful antidote to long hours spent working at a computer. There are infinite ways of enhancing and extending exercises as your skill level and confidence increase, and it delivers a great workout for your brain as well as your body. I only wish I’d discovered it sooner! Lesley provides excellent tuition in a lovely, supportive environment and the small class sizes mean everyone gets the attention and encouragement they need.

“I thoroughly enjoy my classes with Lesley at TCY Pilates. Over the last year I have become fitter and stronger and it is down to Lesley who makes the classes so much fun. Technically Lesley takes great care ensuring we are in the correct positions and really focuses on the meaning of Body Control Pilates – the balance, breathing, concentration and centering – taking a holistic and caring approach. I can’t recommend the classes highly enough for both beginners and those with a more advanced understanding.”

Lesley is a really creative instructor who achieves a magic alchemy of a tough challenge and great fun. She uses a wide, and ever-expanding, range of equipment and, while making every class different, maintains a thread of learning and continuity that means we all learn together but each at our own pace.  The small classes are really friendly, and Lesley makes sure we all know each other.  I cram as many classes as I can into my busy working week.  I look forward to every one of them and am never disappointed.”
