Testimonials

 

"Marcia has been targeting my problem areas throughout a personalised programme. I can highly recommend the benefits of regular Pilates practice. I no longer have severe neck and back pain from too much time spent in front of the computer and my increased strength and fitness has meant that I enjoy more other sports such as skiing and cycling."

Susan Fairbairn

"I have been doing Pilates for over four years. Marcia has been absolutely outstanding in improving my technique and given me a much better understanding of how my body works. She has a wide variety of equipment in her studio which make her classes both interesting and challenging. Marcia's guidance has also helped me improve my performance at mat classes at the gym. She is a perfectionist who has a profound knowledge of how the body works and is so encouraging that I really look forward to our weekly classes. My body tells me how much better I feel as a result!"

Linka Stone

"Being a musician I spent hours as a teenager practising and performing with bad posture. This, along with carrying a weight of almost 10 kilos over my shoulders (for three hours at a time on occasion), led to many shoulder and neck problems. Through Pilates I have been able to rid myself of these reoccurring shoulder problems and strengthen my entire body. The low impact and core focused work in Pilates allows me to continually improve my flexibility and control while still providing a work out equal to that of a weight training session. I have been attending my regular weekly sessions at Pilates Insight for over 2 years now. If there is one exercise regime that I will continue with forever - it is Pilates!"

"Marcia has been my Pilates teacher for over a year. I have just returned from seven weeks overseas on a walking tour. I was the only one of the group who did not complain of aches and pains. This I attribute to regular Pilates practice and Marcia's teaching".

Anne Finloysow

"Pilates Insight Studio has given me a level of fitness I would never have dreamt of achieving looking back just 3 years ago. I used to be a regular at the chyro - with lower back & shoulder pain from scoliosis and a less than disciplined exercise regime. Pilates has enabled me to live my life without back pain and gives me the energy to live a much more active life."

"I highly recommend Marcia from Pilates Insight Studio for her professional and conscientious approach. Marcia provides a comprehensive and interesting programme of exercises suited to the individual needs of her clients".

Robin Drummond

"I am generally not a big fan of exercises. Only recently I started attending sessions at Pilates Insight Studio and I found the right balance between enjoyment and exercise. It's been more than a year now that I've been going to Pilates weekly. I feel that being in a small group allows the instructor to work almost individually with each one focusing on what you need the most. In addition, there is flexibility with the class schedule, I mean, if you can't make your regular time in a particular week, you can move it for another day or time. Finally, I have been very impressed with the results particularly with regards to my posture, which has improved significantly. I now even look forward to doing my regular exercises."
