Testimonials

I have being studying Pilates with various groups for some years now and wanted to push myself a little more, by having a personal Pilate's teacher. I was also quite keen to have a go on the machines and thought I would look like Madonna!

I have been with Star for 2 years now and really cant rate her highly enough, she is so intuitive and has spent so much time in teaching me to understand my body and how it all works. I also suffer from time to time with a lot of lower back pain and was seeing a chiropractor for this, with the stretching work we do (and on occasions Star sitting on my back!) I haven't had to go back.

She may not always seem it, but has got amazing patience. She has an ability to read your body and mood straight away and can adjust her training to suit you, I don't know how I would have coped without my weekly "fix" of Pilates while I am was going through the trauma of my father dying and then the many months after.

I find the using the machines focus the mind and body so well, everyday stress just drifts away and I bounce out of the studio relaxed and ready to take on the world again!

On the advice of my doctor I started a course of Pilates with Jo. My neck and shoulder problem improved considerably with ten sessions of pilates exercises and massage. The studio is very well equipped and she is a competent and experienced instructor teaching me suitable exercises for my condition. CMC

Dear Joanne - Well after your 5 week course I have really noticed a difference! I am more supple and have begun to notice a definition in my stomach muscles. My lower back feels stronger also and the pain has eased. Now that I have started your training programme at home I am really starting to feel the benefits even more. Thanks Paul.

Dear Jo - Thanks for all the effort you put into my programme for the 2 years or so we worked together. You made the sessions interesting and fun and certainly helped my mobility, flexibility etc. As I told you, I will be keeping up the regular workout you provided at home: usually 4 or 5 times per week, so you have certainly done me some long-term good.

After suffering from back pain and intermittent muscle spasms for several years I was recommended by my G.P. and Osteopath to give Pilates a try alongside my Osteopathy treatment.

I have completed a five-session programme at Joanne Roper's Pilates Studio. The course was tailor-made to suit me on a one to one basis. The pain has subsided and I have greater flexibility. I found Jo to be an excellent tutor with a vast knowledge in her field and I now make a 25 minute exercise programme part of my everyday life.

Thank you Jo. Mrs. V. Taylor.

Dear Jo - When my osteopath recommended Pilates with you, having never stuck to an exercise regime in my 50 years (usually avoiding them like the plague, in fact), I had no great hope of either gaining anything or staying with the sessions.

Nearly four months later I find I am looking forward to the weekly sessions with you and am using Pilates at home on a daily basis. I miss the exercises (both mentally and physically) if I miss a day or two in the week.
Thanks for making this life change comfortable and fun Jo. Regards CS
