Student Feedback

  • "The best thing about this training was how practical it was. Kate gave us so many opportunities to practise teaching and receive constructive feedback. Her knowledge is second to none and she made learning enjoyable from start to finish. I left feeling confident and ready to begin teaching straight away"

  • "As someone who was nervous about training to become a Pilates instructor, I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. Kate created such a fun and relaxed atmosphere while maintaining a high standard of education. Her expertise and experience shone through in every session and she always took the time to support each individual student. The practical elements of the course were invaluable and by the end I felt confident capable and excited to teach my very first class. I would highly recommend this training to anyone considering a career in Pilates"

  • First, I loved the energy Kate brought to every session. She was our biggest supporter and was honest about our strengths and areas for improvement. She encouraged us to own our successes and work confidently, letting go of inhibitions and being mindful of our words.  She led with impact, avoiding unnecessary delicacy and worrying about what we said.

    Secondly, I appreciated the regular and frequent feedback. It was both important and encouraging, helping us achieve our best. Kate was open to offering more time for work and development.

    Thirdly, I think she occasionally needed to refocus the group.  When we put women together, there’s a tendency to chat and fill the time.  She allowed those moments to strengthen our bonds and teamwork, but she also brought us back to focus when needed.

    Kate truly considered our individual differences and didn’t teach her style. She encouraged us to embrace our own.  That’s a lovely quality of hers.

    We all approached things differently, and she respected her teaching style while allowing us to shine.

    Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the programme. I love Kate and believe her teaching style is brilliant and she will only build on it over time. Her Pilates teaching is exceptional, and her humility and authenticity make her truly special. These qualities will contribute to the success of her education class, which focuses on the fundamentals of Pilates in a modern way while allowing her students to develop their own teaching skills.

  • Throughout the course Kate was motivating and inspiring, with clear and informative instruction. She created a safe space for the group to grow and develop together

  • "Having completed several fitness qualifications over the years I can honestly say this was one of the most enjoyable and well-structured courses I've attended. Kate creates a learning environment that is both professional and welcoming making it easy to feel comfortable from day one. Her depth of knowledge is outstanding, but what really sets her apart is her ability to break down complex concepts into simple practical information that can be applied immediately. The course was engaging, interactive and packed with valuable hands-on experience. I finished the training with a much deeper understanding of Pilates and a renewed confidence in my own practice"
