Testimonials

Hi Lauren. Just to let you know what a benefit Pilates has been for me.
After 2 days of fairly hard skiing I wasn't sore anywhere. In 43 years of skiing that is a first. Thank you.

Having experienced back and neck pain for over 12 months, I was recommended by both my chiropractor and a relative to join a pilates class. From the moment I contacted Lauren she has been nothing but helpful, friendly and sensitive to my condition.

 After less than 6 months of weekly pilates classes, my pain has dramatically reduced and I feel healthier, stronger and more aware of my body. I can feel improvement in my posture, muscle tone and flexibility. Lauren has taught me how to take care of my body by training, encouraging and challenging me! She is a wealth of knowledge and her approach is very professional, yet relaxed. I thoroughly enjoy attending each class and always walk out feeling so good! I highly recommend it to anyone that is considering it!

Coastal Pilates & Fitness is the most rewarding and fun fitness experience I have ever had.  Lauren’s attention to detail of the correct technique and the constant variety of exercises she provides always makes for a fun and challenging class.  I have learnt many new skills such as Pilates, boxing and skipping – all of which are increasing my strength and flexibility.  I can now sit at my desk without slouching and even with two young children and approaching 40, I feel fit and strong and great!

Of Lauren 

For over three months we have thoroughly endured and enjoyed the rigors of a personal trainer. Lauren is the best anyone could have. I have in the past been an aerobics instructor ... I speak from experience of the industry.

Lauren's knowledge, programming for the two of us and enthusiasm has kept us going twice a week. I have Menieres Disease - Lauren read up on this and has designed our program to enhance my balance levels. Graham loves his boxing and Jenni her Pilates! The hula hoop and skipping rope look cute on Graham but he is mastering these too! We have fun and the blood pressure levels are dropping ... more than the weight ... I guess Lauren doesn't control what we eat!

This is a great activity for a husband and wife team. Thanks Lauren ... we will try to do more homework and less eating!

In one way or another, I have exercised for as long as I can remember, from yoga to aerobic exercise and step classes.  I have enjoyed all of them and my fitness level has been good but, I have often had a sciatic nerve problem and my hip was out of alignment which had been put down to carrying a heavy school case.

I became aware of a deep muscle massage program which I undertook for 12 months with no exercise except walking, the end result being a straight back and no nerve problem.  It was time to look for an exercise program that would tone my body and help keep it straight.  Through a friend I heard about Coastal Pilates & Fitness, I mentioned the program to my massage practitioner and was told that Pilates would be very beneficial to me now she had my body back on track. 

For quite some time now I have participated in one class of Pilates and one class of Circuit Training a week and have noticed a huge improvement in my muscle tone, core strength and flexibility - the best it has ever been.  The more I participate in Pilates and Circuit the better I feel and now, only require maintenance massage treatment. 

I thoroughly recommend Coastal Pilates & Fitness studio.

Before I started Pilates, I thought it was some ‘trendy’ new age exercise.  Having now attended classes for over two years,  I now understand Pilates is a thorough workout, exercising all my key muscle groups.   It has dramatically improved my flexibility and muscle tone.

Since attending Lauren’s  Circuit classes I am no longer taking any blood pressure medication (under the supervision of my GP).  I have a lot more energy.  My body is more toned.  I am a much happier person.   I used to hate running but as I became fitter I now enjoy it.  Doing Lauren’s Circuit classes has definitely helped me to go off my blood pressure medication.

As a carer to my husband, my time is not always my own.  Pilates and Beyond 50 Strength classes with Lauren has reduced my stress, as well as the tension in my body.  My posture, balance and flexibility has also improved. 

Emotionally the time spent on these activities "just for myself" is enjoyable and uplifting."

“Since attending Lauren’s Senior’s Strength classes and Pilates regularly, I have noticed my body shape and tone change completely.  I did not set out to lose weight but have lost 16 Kilos over 12 months.  My new body has greatly improved my self esteem.”
