Shannon treats us all as individuals and knows our abilities and injuries. She knows what we can and can’t do and when to push us a little bit further! The class is relaxed and fun but also challenging. Shannon gives clear instructions and demonstrations and then watches to see that we have understood and are getting it right. I hate exercise classes and have been a member of several gyms in my lifetime… It never lasts… until now! I love my Pilates with Shannon! After three pregnancies my posture and pelvic floor had certainly suffered. Now I stand tall and sneeze with confidence! So you see, it is very hard for anyone to match you…you have passion and it stands out a mile! You deserve every success!
I’m so happy I found Shannon, in the 12 months I’ve been taking lessons I’ve seen major improvements in my flexibility and core muscle strength. While I don’t normally have to demonstrate how easily I can touch my toes, it’s the simple things like how much more easier it is for me to look behind me when cycling and ducking under low branches when I’m out running. The staff are all cheerful, knowledgeable, encouraging and are very good at tweaking individuals within the class when anyones not quite getting the hang of any particular exercise.
