"I have been taking, along with my wife, private Pilates lessons from Karyn for over ten years now. Karyn is a highly skilled lively and enthusiastic coach always ensuring that our sessions are completely tailored to our needs. She comes to each session having thought through what we want to achieve and tries to put a special twist into the session to keep it fresh.

Karyn has worked particularly hard on ensuring that my posture is correct particularly around my shoulders as this is a family weakness. She has also worked hard on trying to improve my back rotation as I am a keen golfer.

I would not hesitate to recommend Karyn as a Pilates Coach."

"The Pilates Body Centre is the most delightful gem of a boutique studio I have experienced to date. The studio, with its wonderful team of instructors, has afforded me the most practical and effective solution to improving my joint mobility and pain management. Unlike other studio offerings I have encountered before, I have found the Pilates Body Centre's signature small class format enables all participants the opportunity to receive clear, concise and informative instructions, together with good observable demonstrations. With close supervision, participants can confidently work toward achieving their personal best through the correct alignment and technique, helping them to attain enhanced results, both safely and quickly. Coupled with constructive feedback and support from a team of highly enthusiastic instructors, the quality of teaching has surpassed my initial hopes and expectations.

Moreover; I have re-discovered the joy and motivational value of class attendance in a studio environment: greater confidence when attempting new challenges, an inspiring atmosphere, with the ability to learn to improve my focus with each movement I make. I can honestly say, it's the first time in many years that I have left a class refreshed with a calm state of mind, and very much looking forward to the next session. Most highly recommend."

"For the past 7 years Karyn has been my Pilates Instructor- Body Control. I have always been impressed by her warmth, enthusiasm and professionalism. Every week she has brought something new to the routine that is tailored to my specific needs. Following a shoulder repair operation, Karyn worked with my Physiotherapist to enable a speedy and total recovery. Karyn is sensitive to her clients needs and provides a careful rehabilitation programme.

Pilates, with Karyn, has strengthened and stretched me ensuring that I am a healthy, flexible and sporty 60 something! I feel 10 years younger. Pilates has enabled me to continue to enjoy downhill skiing. Core strength, rotation and flexibility have helped my golf game too! Karyn’s sessions are a safe alternative to an all-round gym workout."

"I was a little apprehensive before joining, but Maya immediately put me at ease. She was great at explaining things clearly, so I always felt as though I was doing it right. The benefits of Pilates were great, I've struggled with a bad back for a number of years, but after six weeks with Maya, I felt a massive improvement!"

"I must give special thanks to Karyn and Erdinc for their encouragement and dedication in helping me to address my imbalances, muscle weakness and diminished co-ordination skills. They have been extremely instrumental in helping me to overcome an unfounded phobia that certain movements could potentially re-ignite old injuries I had sustained to my spine. Weekly attendance of their respective classes has accelerated my learning curve, helping me to slowly reverse the effects of years of poor, outdated training methods. I would also like thank Maya for providing me with a very warm and gentle introduction to the Pilates Body Centre with my first Reformer and Matwork classes. A big thank you goes to Virginie for taking the time to bring me up to speed on the subject of Pilates in general, and for reminding me that regular consistent practice goes a very long, long way!"
