I have been going to Carolyn’s Pilates classes for over three years off and on, I say off because I used to travel a lot with work. Despite my inconsistency Carolyns classes are designed and adapted for all levels, so whenever I have taken time out from Pilates or reformer it has been easy to pick back up and regain fitness quickly. Carolyn is an amazing instructor, who I can’t rave about enough. Not only is she gifted and exceptional at Pilates she is also able to guide and instruct her students with ease, and grace. Most instructors Pilates, yoga or PT you must watch the movement first, what Carolyn does so well is talking you through the movement, so you don’t have to look, her guidance is superior in delivery and she is fun.
Carolyn is inspirational, kind, consistent and exceptional at what she does

In short, Carolyn’s classes will keep you strong and sane!!

I first discovered Carolyn’s classes in person a few years ago and I am so grateful that she was my first Pilates experience as I fell absolutely in love with it as a result. I have since learnt that Carolyn is a rare gem amongst teachers as she is equally passionate as she is talented.

In person or online, Carolyn is able to translate her phenomenal understanding and extensive experience into nicely manageable, hugely effective, positively challenging classes. Despite the unique difficulties posed by Covid over the past year or so, Carolyn has adapted and utilized her boundless positivity and enthusiasm to bring her brilliant classes online with no loss in quality or engagement. Carolyn has the amazing talent of making her classes, whether it be Pilates or Yoga, effective, informative and enjoyable. She brings a comforting awareness of all her clients to every class by offering modifications for every move, all explained with an air of ease and confidence resulting in a brilliantly spent 60 minutes.

I look forward to every class knowing it will be unique, fun, challenging, interesting, dynamic and that I will feel fantastic afterwards.

Carolyn is a true professional. I have had the pleasure of working one on one with her as well as in her group classes. She knows all depths of Pilates from the importance of stability and core engagement to the power of high intensity calorie burning Pilates to flexibility. As well as her amazing teaching style she is a true motivator, her gorgeous voice guiding you through the process both calming and making you feel at ease. She is a credit to the industry.

Carolyn has mastered the art of Zoom - Pilates. I have been doing her HIIT Power-Pilates series. These are tough workouts, with Carolyn maintaining motivation and a sense of fun whilst still managing to check in on each participant throughout!

Carolyn’s classes are first rate. She explains so clearly - and comprehensively - and interestingly. She demonstrates in such a way and pace that the student can follow. She offers alternative moves without judgement. She checks us frequently, to help, encourage, praise. Her manner is so pleasant but so professional - the work is relentless but she manages to make it manageable, with a smile! Thank you, Carolyn!

Joining [Carolyn’s] classes online has made such a difference over the multiple lockdowns. I was in such a funk with an exercise routine and logging into the Zoom classes has honestly become something that I really look forward to (even if my arms and booty feel like they’re about to fall off after!). [Carolyn] and everyone in the classes are always so happy and positive. [Carolyn’s] knowledge is great and I’ve felt safe to try some new moves, even without a teacher being physically present to correct me! I’ve noticed some changes in my strength (and some mini abs coming through!!) which has been a bonus.

Carolyn’s online classes allow you to challenge yourself at your own pace. She gives modifications to more challenging exercises and always comes up to the camera to check each of her client’s posture is correct. The level of attention allows you to safely increase your ability at home.
— Sarah-Jane Leahy

I love Carolyn’s classes! She’s so positive and I feel great after.
— Tracy O'Callaghan

What an amazing, outstanding teacher! Superb demonstrations and explanations. As a total beginner and in the recently retired age bracket, I was able to stay with the pace all the way through while Carolyn still managed to modify exercises for different levels.
— Anon

Carolyn’s classes are fabulous!! All of them - Reformer on the Floor, her signature flow classes, her workshops... She is such a gifted teacher - really attentive to the detail of each exercise - and her classes are always challenging, dynamic and lots of fun. I could not recommend Carolyn highly enough. Her classes have been an important part of keeping me sane during this crazy year.
