This week marks one year since I started Pilates with Valerie and I’ve been delighted. As a 60 something guy, doing very little exercise, I was a bit nervous joining the class, but it’s been really great. I’m feeling stronger, more supple AND I’ve lost a little weight. Even better, Valerie makes the classes fun to do, so are a high point of the week. Merci Valerie
I have been going to Valerie's classes since May 2023 and have a noticed a great improvement in my physical health. Valerie gives clear instructions and sympathetically corrects you if she feels you can improve your technique. Having witnessed the benefit I was getting from attending her classes my husband decided to come too and has experienced similar benefits. Valerie is very friendly and makes pilates enjoyable.
Valerie is an excellent teacher. All muscle groups get a work out which is great. I can feel that my core is getting stronger and it just makes you feel good about yourself. She is professional, caring and fun! If you are looking to join a group and start Pilates, you will not be disappointed with Valerie's classes.
Pilates with Valerie Bushey 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.
