Ankor Pilates

This is a good venue for Pilates. A nice big studio mirrored on one side, with natural light from several windows and under floor heating in the winter (always a plus). The tutor when I have a class at this particular venue is Val and she's great. She uses humour to get through the tougher exercises and that is really good - you feel relaxed in her presence, but very on the ball at the same time - a good combo. I have suffered from lower back pain for about 40 years and I can honestly say that doing Ankor Pilates classes (with other fine tutors as well) has strengthened it and I have a lot less pain now. I am much more mobile, another plus when you reach a certain age!

My favourite in terms of ANKOR locations I have tried so far - heated floor!! Quality of teaching is just as brilliant as all other locations. Even though it is a basics class there are always more challenging (but safe) options available and teachers are both dynamic and attentive. My back has been better and my confidence returning. I love these classes!!

Felt really gentle during the session but all my muscles ached the next day (in a good way). Only improvement would be if you could do more drop in classes.
