"Thank you so much for welcoming me tonight to the Pilates class. I loved it! You were so supportive and immediately made me feel relaxed. I was so anxious before as I have not done anything like this since I stopped doing yoga about 6 years ago and I feel so much more positive already! The last 5 years have seen my fitness and sleep go downhill massively and I really want to start to change that. Am hoping with my new HRT patches, a consistent effort with exercise and probably a few more changes I can turn it around. Today had a huge positive impact on me and I just wanted to say thank you. I left the class relaxed and smiling!" Tina, Fitness PILATES

"It had been a long time since I had attended a fitness class and hoped the day glow leg warmers could stay in the back of the cupboard. No matter how brave you think you are, walking into a new organised class can be a bit daunting, especially when you haven’t done Pilates before. I need not have worried. Alison’s Tuesday fitness Pilates class ticks all the boxes. The atmosphere is relaxed and supportive and no matter what your ability, Alison makes sure everyone fits in and gets the best out of each session. Her choice of music is fun to move to and you leave feeling a lot more bendy and smiley. It’s been two years since I started and look forward to Tuesday mornings without the need for leg warmers!" Annie, Fitness PILATES

"Loved the stretching & balancing in this Alison. The latter being a weakness for me. Thank you." Paula, Fitness PILATES (Private Facebook Membership during Lockdown)

"That was a really good session thank you. Yes your arms do feel light once you put down your weights. Using the weights does make you focus on the rest of your body too as the balance is slightly different than without them. I have really enjoyed the 'early' sessions." Helen, Fitness PILATES (6-Week FP Express Online Course during Lockdown and Live Face to Face)

"Just wanted to say I am enjoying the online DanceFIT, good to be back with the Latin music. Thank you for doing this, it has been a good motivator." Glenys, DanceFIT (online during Lockdown)

"Your DanceFIT and Pilates sessions have really kept me going over these last few months. I have loved having a sense of purpose on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 10:00am. You have worked very hard at keeping your business going and always being one step ahead with the technology making it easy for us to access your classes with all the links etc. Thank you so much. I really admire how you have kept buoyant through these uncertain months even when you probably didn’t feel great yourself." Alaine, DanceFIT and Fitness PILATES  (online during Lockdown)

"Since Lockdown I’ve found Alison’s prerecorded classes really good and relaxing. Brilliant." Christine, Fitness PILATES (online during Lockdown)

"Thanks Alison for a great workout! Hadn't realised how much I'd missed DanceFIT, will be signing up for more!" Karen, DanceFIT (online during Lockdown)

"Hi Alison, I just thought I’d let you know I just tried one of your pre-recorded DanceFIT videos, it was brilliant. It’s jumped me back into to doing some actual exercise of any kind! I’ll definitely sign up to more of these as I can do them at a time that suits me. It just feels more personal with already going to your Monday evening class before all this." Heather, DanceFIT (online during Lockdown)

"Hi Alison, I thought I would have a go today at your pre-recorded Pilates class. Do you know, I really enjoyed it – it’s your voice – it’s so calming and gentle, yet decisive. My mind just listened to you and I forgot everything else for the time-being. Thank you so much. I think you deserve a real pat on the back for a really good plan and you’ve done so well arranging this. Some so-called celebrities may say they can do these things for free, but I’d rather pay a little bit for YOUR classes - you see it’s your calming nature and it shines through and it’s so lovely to see you and be inspired. By the way – is your kitchen always so tidy???" Christine, Fitness PILATES (online during Lockdown)

"I haven't realised how much I missed your classes and positive energy. It's perfect beginning of the week! I will definitely come back next Monday and I am planning to try Wednesday Pilates class when I synchronise it with my work schedule." Ewelina, DanceFIT (online during Lockdown)

"After suffering from a long, debilitating and painful condition I was able to return to Alison's DanceFIT at the Totton Centre yesterday. Immediately Alison's welcome and the happy atmosphere raised my spirit! The exercise is fun and there is no pressure to keep up. Alison was supportive and reassured me that it was OK to do what I was able to manage. I would like to attend a second class of Alison's soon as I feel the level of exercise is right for me and highly enjoyable." Pam - DanceFIT

"I joined Alison at her Pilates group in Totton last night for the first time. This was also my first time trying Pilates. Alison and her group were so welcoming and friendly. As for the class it was fantastic, really gives your body a work out. Alison instructs clearly and allows you to go at your own pace giving you several choices on movements to try and many levels for those at beginner level or for the more experienced. Highly recommend I shall be returning and already looking at other classes run by Alison during the week. Thank you Alison." Juliet - Fitness PILATES

Such a jolly person who doesn't care what anyone looks like and is not afraid to laugh at herself either.” DanceFIT and Fitness PILATES

“I attended my first Fitness Pilates class with Alison on Tuesday 5th January 2016 and I absolutely loved it. Exercise is not a word that is in my vocabulary normally, but I have always wanted to try Pilates and so when I say this class advertised, I thought I would have a go. Alison made me feel extremely welcome and answered any questions I asked. All movements/exercises were explained thoroughly and I left the class after the hour feeling more relaxed, a lot less tense and really feeling like I had had a workout. I immediately booked a loyalty card for another ten sessions! Give it a go.” Fitness PILATES

“Alison's classes are great fun and suitable for all ages, sizes and abilities! I always enjoy the class however tired I was feeling before I go in and Alison's smile and lovely personality are infectious! She's always encouraging even if you're going in the wrong direction. Would highly recommend her classes.” DanceFIT
