Best Certified Pilates Courses Northampton Near Me

Lucy Bunning: I was recommended to Karen and her pilates team years ago by the McTimoney chiropractor I used to see regularly for a bad back that often went into spasms. After going to these classes each week I note very rarely need to visit chiropractor. And it's good fun too, with lovely people. I'm quite deaf and all the tutors take extra care to make sure I can follow the exercises.

Veronica Lane: The Online classes have been amazing during lockdown and I will continue with them. I’m a carer so cannot expose myself at face to face classes. The online classes are well structured, enjoyable and have enabled me to strengthen my back and legs. Another positive aspect is that it can be done at home, so no travelling, trying to park the car, and the instructor can see minute detail what you are doing and help you achieve your best. Brilliant classes xx

Caroline Bradley: Book a class ASAP; you won’t regret it, in fact you’ll be asking yourself why you didn’t go sooner! 😁You need Karen, Dan, Ben, Emily etc in your life! 🙏 Each class is tailored to your abilities - achievable, progressive and challenging all at the same time. The experience and knowledge of the trainers are first class - you learn something new each time. You are in great hands…They are red hot on form and will take time to explain, adjust and guide you through the move/position if you just don’t get it. No class is ever the same which is refreshing, engaging and addictive! The giggles in class are an absolute bonus - providing reassurance, support and happiness. It’s a safe place to feel/be yourself. Everyone leaves a better, stronger, more aligned, happier version of themselves. Your posture has improved remarkably and you feel fabulous. Before you know it, the hour has whizzed past - time flies when you’re having so much fun! You can’t wait for your next class. It will leave you coming back for more! 😁😁😁

Laura Dickens: Absolutely caring and dedicated staff, always fun and always wanting to help you get to your best. I had several injuries when joining the HIIT class, yet was able to still take part as they gave me alternative exercises to do. When I started, I felt rather inflexible and embarrassed but they put me at age and made me feel confident - I’ve noticed the results, including mending a running injury and better back posture, and generally feeling happy. Would happily recommend them to anyone - have the confidence to try it out, keep persisting and work with the team if you feel you’re struggling. Thank you Dan, Karen and all!

Virginia Teixeira Antunes: Fantastic team of really knowledgeable and friendly instructors. Could not recommend them enough to keep fit and keep away aches and pains.

Helen Ward: I have been working with Karen and her fantastic team of instructors for 10+ years due to a degenerating back problem and without doubt having left Northamptonshire and tried many different instructors locally, there isn’t anyone who comes close to not only the quality of teaching, variety of classes and online on demand workouts, but general drive, commitment, enthusiasm and support to ensure that all clients have the best possible experience, have fun and benefit to the optimum physically from doing Pilates. As I live in Oxfordshire now, one of the only positive things to come out of the pandemic for me is that as classes had to go online, and after a break of a couple of years, I have been able to join back in, I couldn’t be happier!! If you have Pilates experience or are a complete novice give them a try, you won’t be sorry and your back whatever the issue will love you again!!!

Jayne Shillabeer: After going to many a gym based Pilates class with loads of people and zero instruction, I was lucky enough to find Karen’s classes. The difference between gym based Pilates and Karen’s classes was huge! I learned so much about my body, joints, movement and how to move with good alignment and technique in order to get the best out of my body, that I became hooked and decided to quit my job and become a teacher myself. My only complaint now is that Karen and I live so far apart I’m not able to come to her brilliant classes anymore. Thanks Karen for the inspiration and for helping so many of us learn how to use our body better.

Rosemary Sturge: Super classes at Northampton - I try never to miss.

Lesley Hull: Attending Pilates @ Northants Cricket Club with Karen, Dan and the gang is a visit to a happy place. The classes are informative, encouraging, set to meet the needs of all but also to personally challenge us all. You find you are able to do more than you believed. At the end leave feeling refreshed, as if the whole of your body is stronger and more awake. You are standing taller and have a great sense of pride that you have pushed yourself. But the best bit of all is the atmosphere in the room. The being with people who are welcoming, warm, supportive. We often have moments of laughter which adds to the feeling of well-being. No matter what experience you have, how old you are or how much you feel you are out of condition sign up to an introduction session as I did and I will bet you will keep coming back for more. The feeling of overall well-being is a amazing 😊

Joe Jackson: I have really been enjoying my Pilates, after a re-occurance of an old back injury, the classes have helped me strengthen my core and support my back.Great friendly instructors that accommodate all abilities, but push you to improve at the same time.Great app and membership options makes it convenient alongside the online sessionsReally can’t recommend enough!

Andrea Treeby: So happy with the professionalism and enthusiasm shown by all at Northants Pilates over this past year. They have ‘bent over backwards‘ for all their clients to enable flexibility, a high standard of teaching online, and humour which has been a lifesaver in so many ways.Thanks so much, Karen and the team ; here’s to 2021!!Andrea Treeby

Anna Letts: I have been attending Northants Pilates core mat classes for years now, both at Northants Cricket Club and online this year. Many of us are referred to this pilates group from back/other specialists/consultants as the teachers are very well informed and experienced dealing with injuries, ex-surgeries and general aches and pains! The teachers are excellent, they always make the sessions enjoyable and varied in content. I attend to work on my core stability and there is always plenty of that, as well as strengthening and flexibility work. They always check how everyone is feeling and give different options to go a little easier or challenge yourself depending on how you feel on the day. They all have a great sense of humour and it's been lovely getting to know different people and teachers as I've moved across groups. A happy little band we are. I liked attending face to face and trying out the equipment too. Karen and Dan's communication is brilliant, they have done a fantastic job this year getting everyone online and are certainly tech experts now!

Paul Cater: I joined Northants Pilates classes after suffering back injuries over 4 years ago and since then the difference I have seen with regular class attendance has been immense. My back feels great and looked after and this is down to Pilates and the wonderful instructors at Northants Pilates.

Amita Peet: Fantastic wonky bodies session, thank you Karen for organising

russ rua: Karen and the team are brilliant. I don't go as often as I should, but Pilates is a life skill, and the best thing is....Karen makes it fun :)

Heather Wiseman: I have loved going to Karen's reformer and mat classes in Northampton. The classes were great for me post baby and onwards! Karen is an incredible teacher and has always got a wonderful story!!

Rosalind Garside: I would have no hesitation in recommending Northants Pilates. A friendly and professional group.

Lou Lloyd-Williams: I started going to see Dan almost two years ago in the hope it would help sort my gammy back out a bit. Not only has it increased my flexibility (I am ridiculously chuffed that I can touch my toes) but it meant when I had to have more of my spine fused I could recover quicker. The class sizes are fairly small and despite having the balance of a one legged paralytic pigeon and frequently ending up as pilates road kill, the teachers are super patient. Would totally recommend - in fact, I often do!

Lynne Dickens: Have been attending Northants Pilates for many years. The best way to protect your back, build a strong core and have fun at the same time. Love the reformer classes especially. Highly recommend!

Harriet Notley: Absolutely brilliant! Excellent teachers and really enjoyable classes. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Issy Gaming and friends: Dans classes are really well planned out & have really helped me get stronger and more confident with my body.

Kristi Nicholls: Full marks to Dan and Northants Pilates. With small-group classes Dan is able to give everyone individual attention to ensure you are doing the moves correctly and safely and is able to offer alternatives should they be needed. The classes are welcoming and friendly with the option to swap if you can't make your regular class.

Liz Pegg: I first dipped my toe into the world of Pilates (and Northants Pilates specifically) some 20 years ago. Due to life circumstances I was very hit and miss, but always bemoaned the 'miss' period. I was always intending to get back into it, but a change of job, leading to shift work meant that it just wasn't feasible to get to classes.I was therefore overjoyed when I found out that classes were starting only 5 minutes from where I lived 😁 I duly signed up and was looking forward to getting started and then went on to a new shift pattern which meant I wouldn't be able to get to the same class every week. Even before I started Dan went above and beyond to sort out a way that i could attend.When I did start, the muscle memory kicked in and I soon settled back in to the routine of it. The classes are small which mean that Dan us able to concentrate on each one of us and I for one feel as though I'm getting personal rather than group training. It also means that it's a very friendly class and we can all go at our own pace. If there is a movement someone can't do, you don't get to sit that particular bit out though - Dan immediately gives you an alternative!I know that there are a lot of Pilates teachers out there, some of which are cheaper, but former personally I wouldn't go anywhere else 😁

Anna Dell'Utri: Great Pilates classes with very professional and knowledgeable tutor Dan.

Stephanie Hibbitt: I cannot recommend joining northants pilates Kettering enough. The classes are not huge groups so you don't get lost in the crowd, they keep an eye on everyone and help to correct any movements so you don't hurt yourself.I started with the introduction class and now attend the High Intensity pilates class, my core, posture and general strength has improved alot since joining. They have helped to correct my squats and sit ups as well as improving my balance too. If you have ever thought about joining a pilates class but you are too nervous or just haven't got around to joining a class yet, join this one, you will be happy you did, I know I am.

Jane Nimmo: I have thoroughly enjoyed my classes with Dan Northants Pilates and cannot wait to start again in the new year. He is professional but makes it fun and enjoyable. The extra mile he goes to with the on going tutorials on line makes him worth every penny.
