What do Gillian's clients say about her classes?I had an uncomfortable pregnancy and birth with our first daughter. I took up weekly Pilates sessions with Gillian Greenwood, became pregnant again, continued lessons throughout my pregnancy and this time had a much easier birth. I regained my figure, including my tummy muscles, much quicker this time round and achieved a flatter tummy. I have proved to myself that taking Pilates classes with Gillian makes pregnancy, giving birth and post-natal recovery easier. I still continue my weekly Pilates lessons with Gillian. The classes make me feel and look better. Geraldine Mitchell, 39, London Having experienced a difficult birth with my first baby, I took up Pilates with Gillian three months into my second pregnancy. I experienced less backache during the pregnancy, and not only did I have a wonderfully easy and straightforward birth second time around, but the recovery was so much quicker. I know Gillian had helped me to strengthen my back and improve my posture and core stability. This meant not only recovering my figure and getting a flat stomach (which I hadn't had since before the first birth!) but also meant easier and more comfortable positioning when breast feeding and carrying the baby. I have continued Pilates with Gillian because it is an investment in the health of my body - Heather Richards mother to two boys, Fulham, London. "As a result of doing Pilates I have ‘grown’ three-quarters of an inch, at an age where one might expect to start shrinking – wonderful! Thank you!" - Caroline "Breaking one's femur at 57 is no fun. Thankfully, however, being one
of Gillian's pilates students, my recovery was achieved ahead of
schedule. Pilates had given me strength, flexibility and suppleness and
it has now helped me regain all three. Thank you Gillian!" - Sue "Since doing Pilates regularly I no longer suffer from tension migraines and related neck pains, which I used to get on a regular basis." K. C.
