5 /5 Nicky Eldridge: I have had the great privilege of being a client of Wimbledon Village Pilates for 7 years, almost since it’s very inception. Marie is hands-down the best Pilates teacher I could ever wish for. To say she has changed my life is an understatement! I never really found the right kind of exercise to suit me until I started with Marie. I absolutely live for her mat classes and my weekly private reformer lesson. Marie has helped me so much with my back and neck pain. I have developed core strength and a body contour that has given me my confidence back. Every class is different and the variations mean that the body never gets lazy or sluggish in repeating the same movements. Marie constantly challenges me and I am amazed at what I have achieved. I would never have believed it possible. I feel grateful for Marie’s dedication in encouraging me to strive for more. Marie’s mat classes are always fun as well as very challenging and I love the friendly atmosphere. I feel blessed to have my weekly private session on the reformer with Marie as I always come away feeling a thousand times better - both for her excellent instruction and for her kindness. As for her dedication, two things spring to mind. First, Marie is constantly taking advanced courses and learning so that she can teach us to an even higher level. Second, during our Covid isolation, Marie has recorded You Tube videos for us, posted Instagram sequences and we are now doing twice weekly Zoom mat classes with her. I don’t know what I would do without you, Marie! Marie is always thinking of her clients and helping us in whatever way she can. She is super caring and always follows up. Thank you, Marie, you’re one in a million: dedicated, extremely competent, generous, kind, fun, enthusiastic and encouraging. I cannot wait to be back in your studio!
