As an osteopath I really appreciate Saul’s focus and enjoyment of movement. There’s so much in what he does to promote health and protective against Injury…lots of balance and floor work, lots of variations... He also cares…sets good variations that fit at any fitness level…very inclusive and welcoming environment.

Pilates has been transformational for me! After many ups and downs with sciatica pain for the last 2 years, Pilates has improved my life significantly! I’m pretty much pain free, much stronger and able to enjoy all the physical activity I like without having to constantly run back to the physio. It has been amazing, I felt improvement since the very first class!

Since going to Saul’s Pilates classes I am more flexible and feel stronger physically and psychologically. Monday nights are fun and I look forward to a bit of banter with the other men there. I’ve always suffered from pain in my lower back and I think Pilates has been very beneficial.

The persistent pain in my left shoulder has almost completely disappeared, and I can feel my weak core getting stronger. I highly recommend this class to anyone, even just once! Oh, and the use of various equipment keeps the sessions dynamic and exciting—truly engaging!!!

Since starting pilates I have found that my overall muscle tone and core strength has improved and as a result markedly reduced lower back and neck pains. Another side bonus is that you don't have to book ahead of time.

Saul is a great motivator and teacher… targets all areas of the body... It's great to feel so invigorated and alive at the end of each class... Highly recommend!

… how invigorating it is to be moving freely and building strength again…the emphasis is on moving your body in whatever way you can, rather than on the pursuit of perfection. These classes will work for everyone at whatever level you're at.
