Niki provides classes which are really accessible for my level of pilates and over the 18 months I have been attending I can see improvement in my core strength and flexibility. Niki's expertise and commitment is evident and translates into understanding the individual needs of her clients. As someone who has attended many gym classes,in the past, this personal approach makes all the difference to steady improvement within an encouraging and safe space. Alongside the classes Niki provides an active website containing information and tips to take your pilates with you in daily life. I love my pilates classes and thank you Niki for your love of pilates too!

“This class has been life changing for me. I have been suffering with lower back pain that was affecting my ability to do household chores and my passion; running. After a round of physio that didn't improve things I decided to join Niki's pilates class. 6 months on, I am pain free and have just ran my fastest half marathon! Niki makes the class fun, she pushes us further each week and ensures every class member is learning and improving. thank you :) ”

“My husband and I just completed a couple of block sessions with Niki. She is such a knowledgeable and enthusiastic tutor, gave a lot of encouragement throughout and adapted her exercises to meet our individual needs. We had to work hard each session, but somehow Niki made it fun. Highly recommend.”

“I thankfully found Niki’s Pilates class a year ago and from the start it is my favourite time in my week! Niki’s sessions provide a space which grounds me and kick starts the coming week with renewed focus and positivity. Niki is a fantastic teacher and brings her wonderful energy to every session. Niki’s attention to each individual within the class is amazing and it ensures that everyone gets the best from the session. I can not recommend Pilates with Niki highly enough! Thank you Niki ! 😘”

“I started pilates with Niki just over 12 months ago. I am 72 years old and decided that after a fairly energetic and outdoor lifestyle I had to take responsibility for my body now that I was slowing down. I have arthritis in my fingers, shoulders and knees and was finding it too easy adopt a slightly stooped gait while walking.

I had never taken part in group exercise before but Niki was very welcoming and made me feel like an individual not one of a crowd. She takes account of any physical problems you may have and tailors moves to your ability. Pilates ensures that I move and stretch my whole body, not just the parts that move in everyday life.

I am now much more aware of my posture, particularly when out walking, stretch my toes for balance and have much more mobility in my shoulders. Thank you Niki, it is all down to you and your teaching style that I am as mobile as I am nowadays. Your approach is encouraging, practical and fun. “

“I'll be 38 this year, and I've started to make that old man groaning sound when getting up off the sofa, and I've decided I'm not ready to become my dad just yet. I spend my days sitting at a desk and do powerlifting after work, which goes some way to reverse the detrimental effect of sitting all day. But I've learned that strength is a skill and it is specific. Yes, I can bench press 120kg, but how well does that translate to the real world, to my posture, core strength, balance, etc.? Pilates bridges the gap.

I have enjoyed 10 months of Pilates With Niki so far and I have found it immensely rewarding. It's not just about core strength and stability, it's about bringing awareness to the body, to the breath, to the moment, and it's such a wonderful gift to give yourself. I take these benefits with me into the rest of my daily routine and exercise programme.

Niki executes her classes expertly and with professional precision, and they are always fun and engaging, thanks to her positive and energetic personality. But don't be fooled by that, she means business! While she always gives options for progressions and regressions of each exercise, she encourages you to push yourself within your limits so you come away feeling like you have achieved something. I would recommend Pilates to anyone, and Niki is the perfect ambassador and instructor.”

“Having never done any form of exercise class before in my life, I didn’t really know what to expect joining ‘Pilates with Niki’. I now know I’ve been absolutely spoilt with the level of support we receive as a class every week and I can genuinely say that after a year it is something I still look forward to.

Niki goes above and beyond - her passion for both Pilates and people shines through. She is fantastic at bringing energy, knowledge and curiosity to her classes in a way that feels tailored to your physical circumstances and accommodating to whether you are in a great headspace or just ‘having one of those days’. The balance Niki strikes between teaching with empathy and putting people first alongside real technical rigour and guidance is what really stands out the most for me. Like I said, totally spoilt - thank you Niki!”

“I had tried Pilates years ago but didn't enjoy the classes, and then I heard about Niki's and decided to give it another go. I'm so glad I did. Niki is so welcoming, kind and helpful and really puts you at your ease. It's not about 'being the best', but about working with your own body and abilities, and I've noticed a gradual improvement in flexibility and strength. I really look forward to classes, and have surprised myself with my commitment!.”

These classes are fantastic! I had tried Pilates classes in the past and had found them quite dull and not very helpful... but Niki's small group approach means she can make sure everyone is doing the exercises properly which means I get benefit from every exercise in every class, and I can actually feel my body working and getting stronger week by week.

The small groups also means Niki knows her clients and she will encourage where needed but also adapt exercises to make sure it is right for the individual and no-one is doing a movement they shouldn't. I've been going for about 18 months, but within the first 6 I found myself doing moves that I had thought impossible. I have now built Pilates movements into every day, I start and end the day with movement and am more aware of how my body moves through the day. I've learnt that Pilates done properly is a world away from big group classes and highly recommend these classes.

Fantastic experience. Niki is very knowledgeable and loves to share her knowledge with us and explain the movements and techniques. I am loving the pilates classes and really feel the benefits. Her classes are not just great for your body, but also great fun! Great for the body and mind.

"I was new to Pilates and had never really stuck to exercise classes but having started with Niki nearly 18 months ago I can honestly say its been one of the best things I've done, I never want to miss a class. Niki quietens your mind and brings you into the Pilates space at the beginning of the class. I have found my core strength has improved and I feel more toned. Her classes are never the same and each month is themed. Her attention to the needs of each client is excellent as is her enthusiasm. If you are looking for a Pilates class I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“Pilates with Niki has been a real game changer for me. Stress & tension was causing muscle & joint stiffness, Sciatica & headaches. My GPs advice, "try Pilates ! find a Good Pilates instructor, they're worth their weight in gold". After the 1st class, I knew Niki was pure 24 carat gold . My body started to relax & I feel fabulous again, Naturally. It's been 6 months and no more backache, migraines or IBS. Niki is a 1-stop shop for Wellbeing, and I won't miss a class, it's the lifestyle change I needed to regain the body confidence and energy to get up and seize the day with a lovely group of local ladies. Thank you Niki.”

“Niki is a gem of a teacher, always so bubbly and positive. I've been going to her pilates sessions for 18 months now and have found them to be a real benefit; my stiff, achey hips are no more and my back muscles have been strengthened to the point, when I garden, it doesn't ache anymore. I really enjoy going to her classes as she is so professional in the way her lessons are structured and how she helps to adapt the movements to our individual needs. Extremely well taught Niki. Thank you.”

I joined Niki's Pilates class as a complete beginner, almost a year ago and it was the best thing I ever did! Niki is extremely knowledgeable and full of positive energy, always willing to adapt the sessions to ensure we're getting the most from them. Niki is incredibly inclusive, making you feel very welcome, putting you at ease and creating a fun, friendly atmosphere. I really look forward to attending Niki's Pilates sessions each week and get so much from them. I come away feeling ready for the day/week ahead! 100% recommend!

“Having been recently diagnosed with the onset of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, I was advised by my doctor to do Pilates. I found Pilates with Niki and haven't looked back! I have benefitted from doing Pilates and have noticed the increase in my core strength! The classes are small which is what I wanted as I needed to know I was doing the exercises correctly. Niki is brilliant and comes round to correct your posture, knows your capabilities and encourages you to work with how you are feeling on the night! Shes a very pleasant bubbly lady so it's a pleasure to walk in the room. I have no hesitation in recommending her classes! Just wish I was able to do more a week! Thank you Niki.”

Niki is one of the loveliest people you could meet. Her knowledge, enthusiasm and love of what she teaches shines through in every class. I had a leg injury last year and her Pilates classes have helped tremendously on my road to recovery. Never stop shining Niki.

“Following a back injury last year my physiotherapist recommended a Pilates course. Niki was just starting up a beginners course and I gingerly contacted her. She was brilliant, very friendly, caring and professional. She contacted my physio and held a face to face consultation with me before starting the course to see how she could support my treatment. Every week I turn up she is full of energy and motivation but always takes note of my limitations and makes adjustments where necessary. Having a small class means she can give us a very personal lesson and I feel safe in her hands. The sceptic in me is beaten, it’s the best thing i have joined and I would recommend Pilates with Niki to anyone who wants a fun, motivational class that leaves you feeling refreshed. Thank you Niki!”

“I couldn’t imagine life without Pilates and Niki has been an absolute godsend, I am fitter and more flexible as I approach my 60th year than in the previous 2 decades. I have a long-term health issue which may have caused me to fold and give in to - but Pilates has given me a renewed sense of engagement with my body that will benefit me for the rest of my life. Thank you.”

“Pilates with Niki is such a positive and uplifting session. As a beginner I have been taken gently and with great reassurance through movements and sequences that have made me feel better. I enjoy each session as Niki explains all the moves and makes the sessions challenging and fun. I think Niki is an excellent Pilates teacher because she is constantly reviewing her own practice as well as dealing with each of us as an individual. Each group lesson is themed as part of the monthly mission statement. Thank you Niki.”

She’s so encouraging to make sure we are working at the level our bodies need. I used to get some back ache and shoulder aches due to my job role but now I don’t get any. Can’t recommend her classes enough! 💜🌟”

“As a male approaching 70, I never thought Pilates was for males, and certainly not, of my age. I started Pilates with Niki by Zoom during the lockdown and quickly felt the benefit, both physically and mentally, during that challenging time.

More recently I took part in Niki's small group classes, and again was impressed by the outcome, so much of which is down to Niki's inclusive teaching style, regardless of gender and age group. A key point was when she told me to only go as far as I was comfortable rather than matching the others in the group. I would certainly recommend Pilates with Niki to all ages, male or female.”

I feel sad if I miss a week!! My strength and posture have improved so much since doing these classes the groups are small so you get lots of personal attention and the exercises can be tailored to your level of fitness.”

“Having practised yoga for many years I decided to try Pilates as I felt I needed to focus more on my overall strength and mobility. Niki was recommended to me by a friend and I am so pleased I decided to try her classes. To begin with Niki choses a theme for a block of lessons and builds the session around this which brings a sense of purpose to each lesson. Each and every movement we execute is carefully explained with options for anyone who wants to work a little harder or maybe not! Niki has a very positive approach to teaching and as well as explaining how our body benefits from this form of exercise she is very encouraging and this has helped me to feel the benefits of her classes. If you are thinking of taking up Pilates look no further!”

“As someone who enjoys cardio exercise, I've been critical of exercise that doesn't leave me dripping in sweat - however, I must admit I was completely wrong! Pilates with Niki left me feeling energised after each session and my overall strength has greatly improved - and I've seen that translate into significantly better performances in my rowing and cycling. Niki is a great teacher; she's full of energy and clearly explains every exercise and principle. I couldn't recommend Niki more highly, especially to those who want to improve their sporting performance.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed our Pilates retreat. You are as wonderful a teacher as ever and we both left feeling a bit taller, and stretched and just generally relaxed. We must confess we nearly nodded off at the end during the mindfulness part! You have a very soothing voice. Love a goody bag, so thank you again for those.”

“Niki’s Pilates and Mindfulness retreat at Champneys was absolutely fantastic. Niki was there waiting to welcome me, and made me feel at ease when she talked me through the day. I enjoyed the light breakfast and then later Niki’s Pilates and Mindfulness session. It was just what I needed, I suffer with severe anxiety, but during the session I was relaxed and Niki’s teaching was so soothing and easy to follow. Each Pilates exercise had different levels to suit everyone’s ability. Towards the end of the session I was able to just be present in the moment and feel calm and mindful. I loved the 3-course lunch, it was super healthy! In the afternoon I explored the beautiful grounds and had an Elemis massage and a facial which left me feeling amazing too. The day ended with Niki gifting each one of us with a lovely gift bag which included some beauty Champneys products. I can’t recommend enough Niki’s Mindfulness retreat at Champneys, I felt well taken care of. Thank you so much for a wonderful day!x.”

"I recently attended Niki's Pilates & Mindfulness Spa Day Retreat at the beautiful Champneys Henlow. A great experience, which I'd highly recommend. Following a lovely warm welcome from Niki, we had the opportunity to relax in the gorgeous spa and outside grounds, before our pilates & mindfulness session. The session itself was so worthwhile. Niki always creates a welcoming, fun and inclusive environment, making sure everyone gets the most out of the session. Niki's extensive pilates and mindfulness knowledge shines through in every session, so you know you're in very good hands! Thanks for a fab day Niki and for the lovely goody bag :) Looking forward to the next one!.”
