Pilates Works

Fantastic experience: Luxury Reformer Retreat Sept 2021 - as somebody who is not often stuck for words I am not sure I have enough words to describe our experience at the retreat. How often is the whole thing all about you? From arriving on Friday to leaving on Sunday you are cared for and focussed on. Along with the Pilates instructors who work so hard to improve your practice, you have life coaches, medical practitioners, nutrition advice, beauty therapists, masseurs, meditation. Lots of time to work on yourself and plan the next part of your life. All of this and MORE … the other women on the course naturally come together to provide a safe place to explore each other difficulties and life experiences, to help each other over a beautiful meal and a glass of wine. Sit on the terrace with a gin and tonic and offer support to each other, to laugh and cry, offer a much needed hug. To leave with new friends and a new perspective. I cannot recommend this experience enough. Thank you to Sophie and the team

Fantastic experience: Amazing Barre class at this lovely studio on Wednesday. Leah is a great teacher and makes the class really fun whilst working you hard.

Fantastic experience: I have had 1:1 reformer sessions and regularly attend a tower class at this beautiful studio. Sophie is a great teacher and as I have a neck injury she ensured I did the correct exercises to strengthen and support my neck, not damage it. A great studio with a brilliant teacher, highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I can't believe how far I've got never did I think I'd be dancing to parts of the The Nutcracker...started ballet Barre class back in April ..plus been doing pilates with Yvonne...I always feel really good afterwords and my body shape has changed ...I feel more confident and my posture has improved! could not recommend this studio and all the teachers enough.. it changed my life thank you, Ange xx

Fantastic experience: Enjoyed my first class on Thursday. The instructor, Sophie was friendly and knowledgeable. She went around each person checking on form and giving advice.

Fantastic experience: Great modern studio, small classes and great instructor/owner Sophie. I feel totally at ease here and love the wall tower classes. My golf has improved loads since I have been doing these classes.

Fantastic experience: I have been to Sophie now for about 6 months twice a week. She is seriously good. My body has changed and my strength improved so much. I can’t recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: They used to kick sand in my face….. …….so I stopped going to the beach and took up Pilates instead (the yoga class next door was shut). And very glad I am too. After a lifetime of avoiding exercise, I find Pilates challenging and demanding on body and mind BUT the rewards are worth the effort. After a session I feel drained for about an hour and then the feel-good factor kicks in; I’m invigorated, ageing joints feel stronger and more flexible, and I’m more alert. After six months, I’m in a far better please than I was at the start. Thank you, Sophie. Keith aged three score years and ten plus a few.

Fantastic experience: Sophie is a great teacher! She is so aware of individual needs!

Fantastic experience: Sophie is an excellent teacher, very encouraging. My flexibility has increased enormously over the past 11 months attending her classes weekly. Small classes and individual attention - highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Sophie is a lovely caring teacher that explains the Pilates ethos and encourages people to do their best, is sensitive to individuals needs and their ability levels.

Fantastic experience: Sophie has a warm personality and is a great Pilates teacher. I've been going to her Pilates mat classes for 8 months and it has greatly helped with lower back and knee aches. Recommended.

Fantastic experience: Sophie is an amazing teacher I’ve noticed the difference in my flexibility and strength over these last few months! Also love our class we have a lovely group of people and feel totally at ease

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Sophie's Pilates classes for around 7 months now and although the moves are difficult for me, she always makes her classes fun and we have a good laugh. It’s great that all the equipment is provided for you too! Thanks Sophie!

Fantastic experience: I ve been doing pilates classes with Sophie for a few months. I always enjoy them. She is a great teacher and I feel that I benefit from her classes hugely. As well as having some fun too

Fantastic experience: What a fabulous, personalised family Pilates class we had. We can't thank you enough. The kids and I all LOVED it and learnt a lot about our bodies and about quality movements to strengthen the body. You were amazing with all the children, making it fun but also getting them to listen! Our 11 year old in particular has very tight hamstrings from all the club swimming that he does, and by the end they were looser already. We will carry on with your exercise and recommendations at home. Thank you thank you. Until next time Iona

Fantastic experience: I really look forward to Sophie’s classes, I know I’ll get a lot out of them. Sophie is a great teacher who caters for all abilities and I would highly recommend her classes. Gill

Fantastic experience: Sophie has taken a group of men, all well beyond a certain age, and got them hooked on Pilates! She is an enthusiastic and mindful teacher as we all struggle to get our bodies to perform and has encouraged us all as we've progressed. No dropouts says it all.

Fantastic experience: It’s great news that Sophie has opened her new studio PilatesWorks this week. Sophie is an inspirational teacher and provides thoughtful individual attention. I always enjoy the mat classes and feel I have really improved my general fitness.

Fantastic experience: Go to park run every week and helps me get a personal best !

Fantastic experience: The classes at Pilates Works are excellent, you get a real sense of how your body works and how to deal with areas that cause you issues. It's great for my bad back and gives me more movement and less pain.

Fantastic experience: A great way to start the week. Sophie is an enthusiastic and thoughtful teacher, who has the ability to be able to encourage all levels of ability. Lin Capper

Fantastic experience: Sophie is a warm enthusiastic teacher who encourages you to improve your own performance whilst always being mindful of the individual limitations imposed by body and age! Her classes are small and friendly and I feel I have benefited a great deal from attending them over the past year.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Sophie at PilatesWorks. Sophie only takes small classes so everyone benefits from a bit of 1:1 each class. She is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and approachable. The classes are fun, we always have a giggle and there is no pressure to do any move to its extreme- just what is within my ability on that particular day. In a few weeks I saw a huge improvement in my flexibility and posture. The new studio is fantastic and a great addition for Southport.
