Energize your body with our Fitness classes

“I love coming to Tessa’s class, she is fun, friendly and very patient with us. Tess alters exercises to fit our needs which makes the class more doable for me, I feel like I’ve achieved so much in the time I’ve been coming and I’m much more supple than I was before. Thank you.”

“The best Pilates class I’ve ever been to. Pace was excellent. Plenty of choice of difficulty and good feedback and support.”

“I truly enjoy the sculpt pilates class. It was challenging as I like it to be and the atmosphere was very friendly. Tess is a great teacher!”

I have been attending Tess’ Pilates classes for 11 years and began Barre, Yoga and Yogalates as she introduced them into her schedule. Classes are challenging, fun, varied and even after 11 years, I am still motivated, eager and excited for each and every class, I hate if I have to miss one. Tess is such a warm, knowledgeable, experienced and supportive teacher who creates a safe environment in class from which friendships have evolved.

I have been attending the outdoor classes for a few years now and absolutely love it, it is a positive part of my week and I look forward to going, no matter the weather, Tess brings her energetic and motivational self each week putting us through our paces all with a friendly smile. Tess encourages each and every one of us which makes the class fun. If you have a niggle or an injury Tess will make sure you are comfortable and offer alternative exercises.

“Tessa’s classes are more than just a class. They are uplifting and life enhancing. Varied and thoughtful.Fun and effective. Targeting different areas of the body each week. She is second to none..”

“She is a great teacher, remembers everyone’s names and where they are in their postnatal recovery! She really cares about the class and puts a lot of effort into making it interesting and valuable for everyone each week”

I find Tess’ classes energetic, varied and always uplifting. Her expertise as a Pilates/barre/yoga teacher allows us to develop strength, flexibility and balance, while her physio knowledge is a particular benefit in giving advice and making individual adjustments while we work on different muscle groups. Tess is always welcoming, cheerful and encouraging. Having done her various classes for a few years now, they have become an important part of my week. Thank you, Tess 😊

“Experienced, Knowledgeable, Empathic, Engaging, Professional. Tess delivers a well balanced class tailored to suit all her participants capabilities, with a genuine smile on her face. Tess comes across as someone who is doing something she believes in, loves and hopes to pass that enthusiasm to her students, which she does in abundance.”

“I love Tess classes, she explains everything so well and the classes are also very friendly and enjoyable”

Fun, fast and furious.   Tess is inspiring and patient I love how she with continuity reminds us when to how to breath.  Keep up the good work.

Tess, Reformer & Pilates have fixed me. I was suffering with chronic, debilitating sciatica pain & on a cocktail of pain medication. With Tess’s expert help I am now pain free, moving freely and feeling strong. The journey was tough, but Tess was always supportive, encouraging and I felt in a safe pair of hands. I look forward to every session and finish feeling healthy, strong and happy.

Tess is a fantastic Pilates instructor and physiotherapist. I have regularly attended her classes for years, including Pilates, Yogalates and postnatal Pilates/barre. Tess’s classes are fun, with lots of variety and a good amount of challenge. Tess gives great feedback and adjustments, even during online classes. The support and community through her postnatal classes were incredible – they were one of the highlights of our week during maternity leave. I also went to Tess after injuring my wrist and she helped me recover so that I could return to my usual exercise routine.

“Tess is brilliant. Every Pilates barre session has new movements and her classes constantly challenge our muscles, balance, ankle strength and general fitness. Love them!”

I have been going to Pilates Plus sessions for nearly 10 years, initially in-person classes after work in Edinburgh and subsequently via Zoom after the pandemic started. As a keen cyclist, I want to complement my aerobic fitness by improving and maintaining my core as well as my strength since cycling is not weight bearing. Not only has Tess achieved that but I have started running again after a 10-year gap, finishing my first of several half-marathons, including The Great North Run, in c2hours, which I largely attribute to her sessions. Tess talks us through different routines each week, varying the focus from one area to another. She is full of energy, fun and offers variation of exercises to suit different levels. Tess is a great communicator, very attentive and an outstanding teacher. I wholeheartedly recommend her classes to anyone looking to build strength, improve mobility and feel better physically and mentally.

“Tess is super supportive, her classes are always challenging but she makes them fun too. She is professional whilst also being extremely approachable.”

“I have been going to Tessa’s antenatal pilates classes for a few weeks now and I find them extremely helpful. Tessa is clearly very knowledgable, professional and an expert in her field, I find this very reassuring. This is our first baby and I would highly recommend Tessa to anyone pregnant and looking to learn about how Pilates can support and help prepare for birth and pregnancy. I look forward to the class every week!”
