By combining Pilates instruction with clinical expertise, I’m able to adapt my tuition to your needs.

Kind words about my classes -

 

“My views on Pilates have completely changed since starting Pilates with Christine. I’m amazed how Pilates has improved my strength and stability after a recent injury and operation.Although I’ve done Pilates before ( and hated it ) I’ve found Christines’s classes to be personal to my needs; she is aware of every one of us as individuals and, due to her extensive training and qualifications, I always feel in a safe environment where every class counts” — Rachel

 

“Christine’s Pilates classes are excellent. She doesn’t allow the classes to get too big which means she gets to know us all well- including our ailments. I feel confident in practicing exercises at home which has increased strength in weaker areas.” - Maria

“ Christine’s classes are always well planned, interesting and enjoyable. Since starting her classes my posture, balance and core strength have all improved.” -Anne

 

“Christine gives is all individual attention, keeps us focussed on the exercises and all with a gentle sense of humour” - Emma

 

“Chris is great at explaining the exercises and giving ways of visualising the way to do them using imaginary glasses of drinks, fruit and a whole host of household items” -Sara

 

“I joined Marple Pilates on the advice of a Physiotherapist ( not Christine ) to help with a back problem .When you go to the class with any aches and pains if you tellChristine before the class begins, she adjusts the exercises accordingly.She is very caring and there is always a relaxed atmosphere” - Chris

 

“ Having had surgery on my neck I was very anxious about exercise and exacerbating my condition. I was confident with Christine because she is not only a Physio but took the trouble to speak with my own Physio before I started the classes. She amends exercises for me and the number of repititions and checks how I have been after the previous class. She is always a ray of sunshine - classes are fun, hugely beneficial. I cannot recommend her highly enough.” - Jill



 



“Christine gives is all individual attention, keeps us focussed

on the exercises and all with a gentle sense of humour” - Jeanne

 

“ My abdominal muscles are much stronger. This has improved my posture and, consequently I no longer suffer with back and neck pain.I often ask myself what I did before I discovered Pilates” - John

“ My hips are so much better. I’ve been struggling so much with this and my knees. Thank you.I actually like ZOOM! Maybe even prefer it.Didn’t think I would.” - Ellie

 

“The class is an oasis in my busy week. It’s both relaxing and energising and there’s always a friendly atmosphere” - Hayley.

 

“ I have considerably improved my flexibility and strength and, because she is a qualified Physiotherapist ,I know that everything she shows us will be beneficial and tailored to our individual needs and capabilities.I really enjoy the relaxed and friendly atmosphere” - Kath

 

“I had course of weekly private Pilates sessions with Christine which I found extremely beneficial as she was able to finely tune the exercises to my specific needs. Her approach was not only professional but she also managed to build my confidence in being able to strengthen my core through her simple but very effective techniques.I now fit the exercises she gave into my daily routine” -Fiona

Group Classes.

United Reformed Church.

Hibbert Lane, Marple, SK6 7NN.

There are a few car parks close by, opposite the church and behind Littlewoods butchers ( which you will see beside the mini roundabout ) .

There is also some parking in the local co-op and on the roads adjoining the church

Private Classes.

Garden Studio.

Marple, SK6 6AJ.

You are welcome to park on the drive. Some people find it easier ( as the road can be quite busy) to park in Asda car-park and it is only a short walk to the Garden Studio.

Walk down the drive and come through the side gate. It’s a good idea to have been to the toilet before you come as there is no bathroom, and arrive on time as there is no waiting area.
