Beyond toning, her classes enhance posture, strength, flexibility, balance, body awareness, muscle tone, and joint mobility.
Pilates is an excellent complement to other sports, helping reduce injury risk through improved alignment and muscle balance. Sue’s sessions are fully adaptable with modifications to suit every individual, making Pilates accessible for anyone eager to improve their physical and mental wellbeing—no matter your fitness level.
“It all started when I was struggling with hip pain from running, and my consultant recommended I find a different form of exercise to build strength around my hip. That’s when I discovered Pilates. From my very first class, I knew it could be life-changing. Within just a month, my hip pain improved significantly, and after a few months, it had almost completely disappeared. Pilates doesn’t work miracles—but it comes pretty close!”
