My aims in class is to increase and improve flexibility of the hamstrings (back of leg). During the last courses I ran I am pleased to announce over 25 people during the six week course we increased their hamstring flexibility by 135cm. Yes 135cm! A flexibility test (optional) was incorporated into week 1 and re-tested in Week 6.

The benefits I have gained are better balance and flexibility. Enjoy having the time and being TOLD to relax! I look forward to attending and it's never been a chore; I never have to force myself out of the house to do. Just wish I hadn't had a break of attendance from the first classed I attended til now.

I am much more aware of posture etc. I enjoy the challenges Sam sets us, also the individual attention. I love the relaxation and the little tips to help in everyday living.

I have had back pain for a number of years and nothing seemed to help ease the pain. I read about Pilates and fancied trying something similar. It has helped ease my back, I have more range of movement, improved posture and become more self aware of my body. I think the course is very good value for money.

“I am now more body aware, I have a stronger core, more stamina and generally feel better about myself. When people realise that I come to your Mind Body & Soul classes they are very interested, I know lots of people of all ages who I think would like to try it but they think they wouldn’t be able to do it. It can be quite difficult getting through to people that you have to try it to believe it. I definitely believe in the classes, to me it is the best exercise and ‘relaxation’ I have ever done. Thank you.”

I chose Mind Body & Soul as it was something different – relaxation. I am more aware of posture and able to relax

I chose the Mind Body Soul to improve my posture. I am definitely more body aware, I feel my posture has improved.

I read it would be helpful for balance and suppleness. I enjoy the trainer’s personal encouragement. Some of the exercises I use at home and they have been most helpful.

I chose the course for relaxation and to help back pain. Great value for money! What I got from the course is to be more aware of posture, also helps my back pain and to be more aware of my body when performing exercises. Yes I definitely would attend another course.

I chose the Course as I had attended before and felt real benefits in posture & flexibility. What I got from the course was body awareness, extra mobility. The relaxation is fantastic and the course is friendly and fun.

I wanted an overall feel good factor to keep fit & supple in my retirement, so I can lead an active life. It gave me a sense of well being and helps to use balance, also corrects my posture. Most of the time I feel confident to use some of the exercises at home as they are not too difficult to practice.

I chose the course to go out and do something I was able and fit enough to do and only work at my own level of fitness. Help to keep me mobile. I have now better posture, supple pain free joints and in relaxation have better visualisation.

The course is not competitive, I can do it to my own level. Location is near to where I live. I like how the exercises are built up every week from a gentle start to quite a strong finish at the end of the course.

I saw the advert in the local paper and decided to try it. I now have a feeling of wellbeing. Yes I would attend another course.

I initially fancied something different, the teacher gives excellent instruction and demonstration. Relieved a lot of back and neck pain are some of the benefits and I fell I have better posture.

I went on the course as I have back problems and wanted to learn a means of relaxation. I now also have awareness of my posture.

I chose Step Aerobics twice a week to keep fit and help with weight loss. The benefits for me are that I enjoy meeting others, it helps me keep fit and has also taken great, towards my (just about) 5 STONE weight loss. I would recommend any of her classes to others!!

Recommended by a friend - I attend Step Aerobics twice a week and there is a good mix of regulars and you get a good laugh and workout.

I attend Step twice a week and chose this class as I feel step fitness is the way forward for me. Feel much fitter since starting step classes. After each class I always feel good.

I enjoy the classes when I'm there and don't get bored with them as they are different - and vary. It's enjoyable exercise!
