We've been working with Jo-Lee for a few years now and still get a lot out of it and attend class every week. Jo really knows her stuff and puts together excellent, balanced and varied classes that are also tailored to individuals' needs. We now prefer our online classes which work really well. I always recommend Jo-Lee and Pilates to all of my male mates and don't understand why they don't give it a try - Pilates is a perfect complement to my gym work and hiking.
I’ve done Pilates for over 20 years with a variety of different teachers over that time and Jo-Lee is by far the teacher who best conveys what a you are trying to achieve and how to achieve it with clarity and humour alongside a deep understanding of human musculature. Classes manage to test strength and ability with progression and always with a sense of fun. It’s always a pleasure to attend her classes and to know you are in safe hands whilst working to your own goals.
Jo-Lee Pilates classes either in person or on Zoom are fantastic for all ages. Her knowledge of musculoskeletal structure is excellent and she can adapt her approach for different fitness levels. It is the best and most enjoyable type of exercise I have ever done. It greatly improves posture, balance, strength and flexibility. Highly recommended.
Jo-Lee Pilates offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Reformer pilates is performed on a specialised piece of equipment using adjustable spring resistance. It targets deeper stabilising muscles than mat-based pilates and is widely used for posture correction, core strength, injury rehabilitation and pre/postnatal training.
Mat pilates uses your bodyweight on a padded mat, often with small props like resistance bands, blocks and pilates balls. It's the most accessible form of pilates — no heavy equipment, lower price points, and easier to continue at home.
