Testimonials
Our Pilates class with Ruth is our weekly highlight. She has the ability to take away the stresses of the day with her calming voice and gentle encouragement. She knows each of us, and our various limitations, so well that she manages to make each exercise accessible to all by altering them if necessary. Our whole bodies feel healthier and more supple due to Ruth’s magic; she has taught us the building blocks for exercises that can be done anywhere when our backs are suffering.
Online classes during lockdown have been a godsend and kept some normality to our lives.
Thank you Ruth

I have taken part in Ruth’s classes for some years, they have now become part of my life. They are friendly, fun & non-competitive providing a whole body workout. Ruth is very aware of each person’s limitations and any physical problems, mindful of working well within their boundaries, whilst pushing others to their full potential.
Ruth is always ready to listen and adapt the class to any particular requests or problems. I enjoy the fact all the muscle groups are worked, even if I know about it the following day! It is only when I’ve missed a couple of classes the realization of its effectiveness is apparent. My son asked me when I first joined what I hoped to achieve, my reply “I want to physically do this year what I was able to do last year”. Thanks to Ruth, so far I’ve achieved it & had fun in the process!

I have been doing Pilates for 20 years now. I’m 75 this year, and the older I get, the more I enjoy attending Ruth’s classes. I started with one class a week, I now do three classes a week. Ruth has transformed my whole outlook in life, understanding the body and feeling positive. My lung function has greatly improved, as well as my general regard to healthcare. As an arthritis sufferer, I have found Pilates massively improves my flexibility, which in turn relieves my symptoms.

Ruth's classes are a magical experience. Her approach is warm, generous and personal with clear instructions being balanced by mindful moments which help me connect consciously to the subtle improvements in my body as the class progresses. Afterwards I feel refreshed, toned and relaxed. I feel blessed to have such a naturally talented and experienced teacher.

I feel and see the progress I am making each week. Ruth's expertise helps me understand the way I am using my body and the interconnection of my muscles to work on a deeper level.

Ruth is the most wonderful Pilates Instructor. She is caring, empathetic and so knowledgeable ,and her classes are always a highlight-never more so than during these anxious times. She is intuitive to client needs, adapting movement to suit the individual.
Whether on Zoom or face to face, Ruth is a warm, positive and lovely soul and i can’t thank her enough for all she does; and cannot recommend her classes highly enough.

I have been attending Ruth’s “Early bird” classes for several years. She is a super teacher with an excellent knowledge of anatomy. Her classes really kick start my day leaving me energised and refreshed. The move to teaching online has been seamless and even though I am at home, I feel as if I am in the room with our class. Thank you Ruth!

I've been attending Ruth's classes for a couple of years and my mobility and core strength have improved significantly. As a result I can manage a long term back injury much better, which allows me to enjoy a wide range of sport and exercise. Everyday movement is easier and I feel more confident about keeping healthy and active. Her teaching is expert, focused and friendly.

Online Pilates with Ruth has been a wonderful start to the day, two days a week throughout lockdown, an effective uplifting anti-dote to the sedentary working at home lifestyle. Ruth has wonderful inclusive, caring and calming way of teaching. I also look forward to returning to evening Pilates at the studio for the social interaction benefits, warmth and light of Ruth’s in-person classes.

I have been doing Pilates with Ruth Waldron for the last 2 years and I have thoroughly enjoyed it and will continue on Zoom or in studio with a group, twice a week. I find the classes really suits my needs (I’m 60 years old) physically and mentally. Ruth always offers alternative exercises for those who can’t do some exercises due to ailments, which is so helpful. I feel really relaxed and well after each class. Especially during the pandemic Ruth is always very welcoming and creates a feel good class. Ruth is very professional. I can only praise her and will carry on with her classes as long as I can.

I love the 8.30am classes, they set me up for the whole day. I feel virtuous because I’ve done some exercise, but I also think it makes me more productive for the rest of the day.

Ruth, Just wanted to say that the Pilates sessions I do with you in class and on Zoom make me feel so relaxed, strong and healthy. I look forward to them very much, and certainly during this present lockdown, feel connected with others, even if it is virtual and not in person, which is due to your cheerful, manner and warmth.
