“I love everything about the classes. I love being around the positive, loving, caring friends.  I enjoy the exercises and I always feel good after attending Pilates. I enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and the friendly people”

‘I love pilates because it brings relaxation, builds my core and makes me fit. I sleep well and feel better overall.’

‘I started the class to try to lose weight and strengthen my joints. I love our amazing instructor, Charlotte, who is a woman of God and I highly recommend her. I feel destressed after each session and I can feel a difference in my weight and stress levels.’

‘I was struggling with neck and shoulder pain as well as stress and Pilates was suggested and it has really helped! My neck pain has improved dramatically and its wonderful to have learnt stretches that I can use at any time should I feel stiff or sore in any part of my body. It is a safe, relaxed environment and you compete only with yourself. It is wonderful to move and discover what the body can actually do.’

‘I decided to do Pilates to manage my stress levels and better my health. It helped me to find more balance in my life. There is something special about discovering that you are able to do something you were unable to do previously and seeing your body growing stronger with each class. Every class is different and challenges you in a different way than the previous one and the energy of the people helps to lift your spirits when you have had a difficult day. Charlotte not only helps you to become physically stronger but also mentally and spiritually.’

‘Charlotte, I just wanted to say thank you. I don’t like exercise, but I look forward to the pilates classes every week. You carry the peace of God and I take sooo much rest and peace from the time every week. You have an amazing gift to assist people into wellness on all levels. May you be a source of support to many others.’

‘I have renewed energy levels and suffer less from stiff joints. My general physical and mental agility has improved.’

‘Attending a pilates class with Charlotte is not only a physical body exercise experience, but also a “special treat” to your soul and spirit. I realised that my muscles had more strength than I thought and I have such mental clarity after each session.’

‘I have not done much exercise at all during the past year (sigh) and am trying to get started again. Today’s stretching and Pilates had my muscles smiling (if that’s possible) with a feeling that they had been given a dose of oxygen. Thanks! I really enjoyed the class.’ 

‘I was involved in a car accident and got whiplash and it was recommended to do Pilates to assist with recovery from that injury. It is a relaxed, friendly atmosphere with stimulating exercise. I find it to be good for stress management, to ease tension and the classes keeps me fit and healthy.’

“I started Pilates to get more flexible and fit and I enjoy everything about it. I can see a huge difference after only being there a month. I would highly recommend the classes.”

“My goal is to increase my fitness level through Pilates. I enjoy the fact that the classes are Christian based, prayer is included, the instructor is super knowledgeable and an expert, super friendly and approachable (unlike other stiff lipped instructors). I also enjoy the different tempos including cardio and stretching. My kids cannot believe that I actually prefer this now to yoga.”

‘I started doing pilates to regain mobility I lost through a back injury. I have been able to strengthen my core muscles while having fun. There is no pressure when you are unable to keep up, just loads of laughs with the other class participants.’

‘Pilates was recommended by my Neuro Specialist to try and strengthen the muscles around the spine and the core, this prevented the need for a back operation.’

‘Thanks to Pilates I have better balance.  It has enabled me to perform any task without back pain or particular effort.’

‘I do sedentary office work and was concerned about my fitness levels as well as mmy overall body toning and wellbeing. I found the Pilates classes to be calm, tranquil yet focused exercise. Charlotte is amazing and understanding, she gauges our abilities for the day and paces the class accordingly.  I love that after a day of stress I go to Pilates and leave feeling relaxed and good about myself. I love pilates and find it stimulating, exciting and fitness is attainable without having to lift huge weights.’ – Karen

‘I started Pilates to strengthen my muscles and core and get flexible again after double hip replacements and my range of movement has improved. I love the camaraderie and variety of routines.’

‘I love being in the class. I love the movement, I love being challenged. It’s such a safe and restful place. A place I can just breathe, away from a noisy world. It’s the only exercise I’ve really stuck to, although there are some days it’s difficult to get there. But, once I’m there and afterwards, I just feel so good. And I just want to thank you, for providing a space like that and an exercise like that. A ministry. That’s what it is. To body, soul and mind.’

‘Each class is a new challenge, it is never the same and I feel better within myself after doing what I can manage. I would recommend Charlotte any day.’

‘I started Pilates to strengthen my core and lose weight through the activation of these muscles and to incorporate it into my own teaching due to its lovely health benefits. I love warm atmosphere and great variety of people of all shapes and sizes. I enjoy the music and variety of exercises. After a short time I can already feel more control and stability of muscles throughout my body. My mood is so chilled and relaxed and I always have a solid, deep rest that night.’

‘It is peaceful and relaxing atmosphere to do pilates and good workout filled with humour and care. The classes have built my confidence and fitness level.’

‘I hurt myself at Crossfit and wanted to continue with some exercise so I chose Pilates. I really enjoy the vibe, the stretching and the prayers. I find it really relaxes me.’

‘After quite a few years of doing Better4life pilates I am now moving. Just wanted to say thank you – I enjoyed the classes and the love and fellowship of all. I will miss the people and the exercise. God bless you and may your classes go from strength to strength.’

‘Being part of Charlotte’s Pilates class has helped me to begin exercising regularly again. I’ve developed in strength and flexibility throughout my body, especially my weak abdominal and back muscles. The class is really motivating – she makes it fun and encourages us to keep going! Doing the exercises with a group of people who you get to know better week by week makes it really enjoyable too.’
