Nicola Brandon I have been coming to Pilates Sheen for about 4 years now and I love the studio and all the instructors I have had are excellent. I have been having Pilates reformer classes with Nicole since the beginning of September- she is a great teacher who takes time to listen at the beginning of each class to any problems I have with my body and adapts the exercises when necessary. She will adjust my body positions during the routines and always ask how I feel. At the end of class my body feels well worked and well stretched and my mind is calmer!

Adam Dolan I’ve been training at Putney BJJ for six months now, starting from complete beginner. I was sold in the beginning by the sauna and ice bath which is included in your dues, but what keeps me going is the great feeling from coming out of each class and feeling like you’ve made progress and achieved something. The facilities are top notch and all the trainers are incredible. Everybody in there is so friendly, always ready to lend a hand and talk you through the moves. I have improved a lot in such a short space of time, and there are many options for classes depending on your reschedule. I feel very lucky to have this gym nearby, and would recommend to anyone who is interested in learning a new skill, get fit, and meet some cool people.

David ODowd Great little club, doesnt get too busy, the gym is small you wouldnt want more than 10 people in their at one time but Ive never seen more than 5 or 6 so far, the pool is closed at times every day for courses but not too busy out from that during the week! Avoid the pool over the weekend its packed!

Awa Chats I went to the joint pain programme after hearing about it following my physio sessions at St George’s hospital. I was a little apprehensive as I’ve never been to the gym before. Ryan did an assessment with me to find out what my level was… it’s necessary! After the first session I was in pain but it was a different kind of pain. I was using parts of my body that I hadn’t used in ages! I’ve had a lower back pain for years but this pain was new. It was a healthy pain. The pain came from the muscles in my body that I ‘should have been using’ but wasn’t due to my body compensating the pain I was permanently in. OMG! This was a complete revelation… I was using wrong parts of my body to do everyday exercises and I never knew that. Alex, trainer and class teacher is absolutely brilliant. I’m sure she has memorised each person’s capabilities because she give us the same exercises but they are sort-of-ish tailored to each person. She’s amazing! I never got that feeling where I couldn’t be bothered to go. I even went to the class when I felt rough because I knew it would make me feel better. Exercising is not just a physical activity but it’s a mental one too. It makes me feel so good inside and I can’t recommend the joint pain programme enough. I tell everyone about it! I’m just sad that the 12 weeks programme has come to an end. It helped me so much and although I’ve another 12 weeks, that is going to fly by. Thank you Alex, the team and thank you Nuffield Health for providing this invaluable service!
