I first came across Russ' Pilates sessions at my local gym a few years ago following a back injury. The face to face Pilates sessions helped my back paid immensely. I ended up falling off the Pilates train, and with my back pain getting worse (shock), I decided it was time to do something about it. 6 months ago I signed up to Russ's online platform. The results have been transformational. My back has felt the best it has in years and has meant I can get back doing the things I enjoy. The library of sessions is vast, with sessions ranging from 10 minutes for quick daily sessions, to longer hour sessions. There are also weekly live Zoom sessions that you can attend. Everything is well explained and easy to follow. The ability to access a session at any time, and anywhere (really useful when travelling or on holiday) is hugely beneficial. Highly recommend Pilates Guy's online platform.

What can I say? I’m over the moon with the amount that Russ has helped me firstly he gives a free 20 minute video consultation with no pressure to buy anything and he has always egging us on in the community. I’ve had general muscle tension and bad posture for as long as I can remember And over the last four months I’ve been doing his sessions at least once a day after the sessions I feel energized and ready to take on the day. I still have a ways to go, but with Russ’s help, I’m sure I can meet my goals . I would recommend him to anyone that wants to build a regular practice to fix any of their problems and beyond.

Having started Pilates with Russ after a back operation was the best decision i have made. My recover time was much quick and it allowed me to get back to other sports much quick and stronger. I could not rate Russ’s classes highly enough. They are controlled and focus on the basics and set up of every movement. I have never felt so good after one year of pilates and will continue to recommend people to see Russ. Thank you Russ
