Testimonials

I have been doing 1:1 Pilates with Alexandra for several years now. As someone with joint hypermobility, I am grateful for Alexandra’s varied knowledge and holistic approach, along with her ability to listen and tailor each session as appropriate. Alexandra is professional, personable and dedicated to her vocation. I can’t recommend her enough!

I came to see Alexandra after the GP had told me that the only two options left were spinal surgery or painkiller injections into my back. She was my last resort and she changed my life!
After going to her classes I realised that I wanted a more bespoke treatment, and I have been a weekly regular in her studio for about 10 years now. And have never looked back! Alexandra knows both my body and my character well, and working with her means to discover new muscles, nerves, pattern of unhealthy movement and behaviour but also ways to counter pain, tension and stiffness. She makes me feel relaxed and answers every single of my questions about the body that I am sure she knows more about by now than I do. Alexandra has made me become pain-free, and that is something I cannot thank her enough for!

Beate

I have been taking Pilates classes with Alexandra for over a decade now, so I have been lucky to enjoy her expertise and her ability to intuitively respond to what my body needs first in mat classes and now in 1-1 studio sessions. I always feel comfortable and challenged at the same time, thanks to her personalised adjustments and modifications. I even continue to take sessions online while abroad, as they are an integral part of my strengthening fitness journey.

Mary

I can’t recommend Alexandra enough with regards to her professionalism and teaching of Pilates. In my searching for a Pilates teacher I was recommended to Alexandra as one of the foremost experienced Pilates teachers in Manchester, and she has exceeded my expectations with regards to the recommendation. In terms of her expertise in the area of Pilates, I find her very knowledgeable, well structured and highly energetic in her Pilates approach. As well as having high energy she is friendly and approachable with regards to her teaching methods.
I have no hesitation in recommending Alexandra to anyone thinking of taking up Pilates in the near future.

Alexandra is a fantastic Pilates teacher. She ensures that my middle-aged body remains flexible and toned. She is very knowledgeable about the workings of the body, has a sensitivity to individual needs and issues, and conveys a personal investment in helping each person in an encouraging way. She is someone I trust to help me with any issues I bring. I really don’t know how I would manage without her in my life. And she is also a warm, lovely person!

Alexandra’s matwork classes gave me a good basic understanding of pilates before I moved on to studio sessions for more focused work to address a painful hip. The results have been amazing – within a few weeks my muscles were noticeably stronger and the pain was all but gone.

Emma Old Trafford

First class Pilates instructor. Alexandra has guided me through my post natal recovery after my fourth baby and helped me regain my strength. She has cured the low back pain I had developed which was really interfering with my daily life and making me feel down. She is by far the best Pilates teacher I have seen. Her knowledge of how the body works is amazing. I can’t recommend her highly enough

For twelve months I have suffered with back pain from a slipped disc and decided to give Pilates a go, how glad I did. I went to Alexandra’s group for back pain and it has been life changing, she is so knowledgeable and clear instruction and encouragement to all of us.
Her studio sessions are fantastic and I discovered muscles I never knew I had.Thanks to Alexandra my pain is greatly reduced my my core strength and flexibility has increased. I would recommend anyone of any age to give it a “go”
