I started doing Pilates with Tess after my first baby and I haven’t stopped since! Her classes are fun and challenging. I have never felt stronger or fitter. She always has a welcoming smile and her enthusiasm lights up the room. I could not recommend her expertise more at any stage of your life. She is really encouraging and supports you to improve.

Tess, Reformer & Pilates have fixed me. I was suffering with chronic, debilitating sciatica pain & on a cocktail of pain medication. With Tess’s expert help I am now pain free, moving freely and feeling strong. The journey was tough, but Tess was always supportive, encouraging and I felt in a safe pair of hands. I look forward to every session and finish feeling healthy, strong and happy.

“I truly enjoy the sculpt pilates class. It was challenging as I like it to be and the atmosphere was very friendly. Tess is a great teacher!”

I find Tess’ classes energetic, varied and always uplifting. Her expertise as a Pilates/barre/yoga teacher allows us to develop strength, flexibility and balance, while her physio knowledge is a particular benefit in giving advice and making individual adjustments while we work on different muscle groups. Tess is always welcoming, cheerful and encouraging. Having done her various classes for a few years now, they have become an important part of my week. Thank you, Tess 😊

I can’t speak highly enough of Tessa’s Pilates classes. I’ve been attending her classes for many many years – whether it’s been postnatal classes, barre, outdoor boot camps or one-on-one reformer. Her classes have made a huge difference to my strength, balance, fitness – and my life!  Tessa’s physiotherapy background is a huge benefit too, and I know she is pushing me to achieve my potential in all the right ways. I would highly recommend giving any of her classes a try – there’s something for everyone. Thank you Tess 🙏.

“I have been going to Tessa’s antenatal pilates classes for a few weeks now and I find them extremely helpful. Tessa is clearly very knowledgable, professional and an expert in her field, I find this very reassuring. This is our first baby and I would highly recommend Tessa to anyone pregnant and looking to learn about how Pilates can support and help prepare for birth and pregnancy. I look forward to the class every week!”

Tess is a fantastic Pilates instructor and physiotherapist. I have regularly attended her classes for years, including Pilates, Yogalates and postnatal Pilates/barre. Tess’s classes are fun, with lots of variety and a good amount of challenge. Tess gives great feedback and adjustments, even during online classes. The support and community through her postnatal classes were incredible – they were one of the highlights of our week during maternity leave. I also went to Tess after injuring my wrist and she helped me recover so that I could return to my usual exercise routine.

“She is a great teacher, remembers everyone’s names and where they are in their postnatal recovery! She really cares about the class and puts a lot of effort into making it interesting and valuable for everyone each week”

Fun, fast and furious.   Tess is inspiring and patient I love how she with continuity reminds us when to how to breath.  Keep up the good work.

“I love Tess classes, she explains everything so well and the classes are also very friendly and enjoyable”

“Tess is super supportive, her classes are always challenging but she makes them fun too. She is professional whilst also being extremely approachable.”

When I was pregnant, I had sever PGP, which unfortunately lingered postpartum and caused a lot of pain. Tessa’s Pilates classes and private reformer sessions have changed my life. I am stronger now and pain-free. I do not know where I would be without her. She accommodates or modifies the sessions to my needs. She is supportive, knowledgeable and kind, and I look forward to her sessions weekly.

“I love coming to Tessa’s class, she is fun, friendly and very patient with us. Tess alters exercises to fit our needs which makes the class more doable for me, I feel like I’ve achieved so much in the time I’ve been coming and I’m much more supple than I was before. Thank you.”

“Tess is brilliant. Every Pilates barre session has new movements and her classes constantly challenge our muscles, balance, ankle strength and general fitness. Love them!”

“Experienced, Knowledgeable, Empathic, Engaging, Professional. Tess delivers a well balanced class tailored to suit all her participants capabilities, with a genuine smile on her face. Tess comes across as someone who is doing something she believes in, loves and hopes to pass that enthusiasm to her students, which she does in abundance.”

“Tessa’s classes are more than just a class. They are uplifting and life enhancing. Varied and thoughtful.Fun and effective. Targeting different areas of the body each week. She is second to none..”

I have been attending the outdoor classes for a few years now and absolutely love it, it is a positive part of my week and I look forward to going, no matter the weather, Tess brings her energetic and motivational self each week putting us through our paces all with a friendly smile. Tess encourages each and every one of us which makes the class fun. If you have a niggle or an injury Tess will make sure you are comfortable and offer alternative exercises.

I have been attending Tess’ Pilates classes for 11 years and began Barre, Yoga and Yogalates as she introduced them into her schedule. Classes are challenging, fun, varied and even after 11 years, I am still motivated, eager and excited for each and every class, I hate if I have to miss one. Tess is such a warm, knowledgeable, experienced and supportive teacher who creates a safe environment in class from which friendships have evolved.

I have been going to Pilates Plus sessions for nearly 10 years, initially in-person classes after work in Edinburgh and subsequently via Zoom after the pandemic started. As a keen cyclist, I want to complement my aerobic fitness by improving and maintaining my core as well as my strength since cycling is not weight bearing. Not only has Tess achieved that but I have started running again after a 10-year gap, finishing my first of several half-marathons, including The Great North Run, in c2hours, which I largely attribute to her sessions. Tess talks us through different routines each week, varying the focus from one area to another. She is full of energy, fun and offers variation of exercises to suit different levels. Tess is a great communicator, very attentive and an outstanding teacher. I wholeheartedly recommend her classes to anyone looking to build strength, improve mobility and feel better physically and mentally.

Tess always makes her classes challenging – but fun. So much thought goes into the programme and she manages to make it work for everyone in the room.  I’ve been attending Tess’ classes and workshops for years and always look forward to them –  whether it’s a mindful Yogalates class, or an outdoor fitness session in all weathers – there is always lots of laughter, alongside a great workout.  One-to-one sessions with Tess are so valuable. Really tailored to your needs – and the reformer is surprisingly fun!

“The best Pilates class I’ve ever been to. Pace was excellent. Plenty of choice of difficulty and good feedback and support.”
