What do Gillian's clients say about her classes?
I am a horse
riding teacher and have been taking Pilates classes with Gillian
for the last 4 months. I could feel the difference in my back
within the first month but now the difference is visible. I am
sitting much straighter through my back for much longer lengths
of time and without feeling any pain or stiffness, which has
been hugely helpful for improving my position in the saddle! Now
I feel I can really push myself in the classes and I'm sure my
body will continue to feel the benefits from Pilates!
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.
At 79, I was all too aware
that my body was slowly seizing up. My brother recommended
Pilates and a friend recommended Gillian. After my first private
class I was surprised at how light my body felt. After five
classes I can feel that I am recovering flexibility and breathe
more easily. Thank you. 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.
