Without cath’s support and individualised rehabilitative exercises and massage treatments I will be completed incapacitated. She goes above and beyond to give a first class care and treatment .

Fantastic experience: I accidentally stumbled upon The Loft Pilates and it has been my go to place for sports massage! I have tried many masseuse around Birmingham but none compares to Cat! Her massages may hurt because I have a lot of knots and tightness of the muscles but I leave knowing that my knots and tension have been released and I feel so much better! She is very knowledgeable and has this skill of working the muscles. She knows when to be gentle and when to be firm. I always look forward to my sessions!

Fantastic experience: Not been for a while as I've been poorly. I love how Cat teaches Yin Yiga. It's slow and methodical and very beneficial for anyone who struggles to keep up with a typical class. Very relaxing but you feel like you've had a good work out.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to The Loft for years. The classes are a lot of fun with banter and no pressure to go further than you feel comfortable with.

Fantastic experience: I been trying attend yoga for a whole year, and one day finally made it. The teacher is excellent understanding and helps you . I am glad I have met a wonderful yoga teacher. Would recommend trying. Jazz

Fantastic experience: It is evident how knowledgeable and experienced Cat is, who pushes you to choose your hard. Really enjoyable and inclusive of all abilities.

Fantastic experience: I recently attended a Pilates class at Cat’s studio, and it was fantastic! Cat is a skilled and attentive instructor who creates a welcoming and supportive environment. Her clear guidance and personalised approach make the sessions enjoyable and effective. I highly recommend her studio to anyone looking to improve their strength, flexibility, and overall well-being.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to The Loft since October 23 and although having hip pain (and just been diagnosed with moderate to severe hip osteoarthritis ) the weights and workouts that Cat does are excellent. My hip pain after four months has eased to the extent of not having to take Ibuprofens /painkillers every day. Cat’s sessions are varied every time, she is so enthusiastic and encouraging. Thank you Cat x

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience and top service from cat. Highly recommend anyone looking for a sports massage

Fantastic experience: Really good classes. I've done boxing and pilates. Very friendly group where everyone is welcome.

Fantastic experience: I had acupuncture with Cathy for my Frozen shoulders. I could only lift my arms to a certain level and after 1 session, I could move my arms more and the pins and needles stopped in my hands. Today I had cupping done and it was amazing! Feel great as soon as I left. Definitely recommend and I’ve booked back in for more sessions. Great value for money! Cathy’s great, she’s very friendly, informative and the room is nice clean and tidy. Parking right at the front and just around the corner of the building. I felt very welcome and comfortable!

Fantastic experience: I just moved to Birmingham from London and was eager to find a proximity facility in Erdington. Cat's practice (Yoga, Pilates, Karate, etc.) is perfect and tick all the boxes. Location: The studio is easy to get to if you drive, cycle or by bus(as I do). Literally just in front of bus 67. Classes: I attend mostly the pilates flexibility in the evening, straight from work. I really love the way classes are run so that you can adapt exercises and have a good workout nonetheless suitable to your fitness level. Studio is well kept, safe and clean and well equipped. Finally, Cat's sport massage is epic: I feel so good after each session. She will tackle your problem areas and leave you feeling relieved, relaxed and recharged.

Fantastic experience: I have been using Cat for a good few years now, having regular sports massages. She also sometimes incorporates cupping and acupuncture, and exercises different techniques according to your requirements. She is very knowledgeable and her hands are magical. She gives a very firm sports massage and is perfect as I am a regular exercise enthusiast. Price is spot on, I always get her bundles and also regularly get them as gifts. My family and family friends also all use Cat! Thank you Cat

Fantastic experience: After been so much pain for two weeks not able to do lot. Today had massage and feel lot better thank you very much. You have new client as I will be coming. Thank you again Catherine

Fantastic experience: Enjoyed a hot stones massage with Cat in a friendly comfortable environment. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined the gym with Cat as the instructor, and I can honestly say it has been one of the better decisions I’ve made! Cat is friendly, knowledgeable and works everyone hard, but not to the point of total exhaustion! I always feel the benefit after a workout, and I am already seeing improvements in my fitness and strength. I can certainly recommend The Loft if you want to improve your levels of fitness.

Fantastic experience: Have only been to one session and it was brilliant - felt the burn and definitely learnt a lot in just one session.

Fantastic experience: I did my final Pilates exam at The Loft Pilates. Parking spaces. Great tidy and clean studio, relaxing environment. Cat is a great tutor.

Fantastic experience: I completed the Pilates course at The Loft Pilates & Yoga Studio. Really enjoyed it, Cat’s a great tutor, made me feel very relaxed and created a friendly learning environment. Since passing the course, I’ve gone on to secure lots of cover classes and everytime I’m complimented on the exercises used. Highly recommend this course!!!

Fantastic experience: Cat is a great teacher. The course was a great way to learn about Pilates and also how to instruct and plan classes. Thank you for a wonderful experience. I also met some really nice instructors/people on the course too!

Fantastic experience: I started pilates with Cath about 10 years ago mainly because I'd had back problems for years. I only do one class a week (life is busy) but even that is enough to keep my core strong, and now aged 75, I'm stronger than many half my age! And no back problems.

Fantastic experience: Cats physio and sports massage skills are amazing and she is such a lovely person too. After only one treatment my impinged shoulder was massively improved bringing me such relief! I purchased a course and will continue to go to Cat for massage for maintenance now also as I am an instructor and it’s evident that she works magic!!!

Fantastic experience: Pilates classes friendly, chatty but give you a good workout. This has helped my bad back so much and I would highly recommend it for anyone suffering the same.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic studio and a great selection of classes. Cat is great at adjusting the level of exercise to people’s ability and fitness level and classes are always great fun. I am hooked now ☺️

Fantastic experience: Great massaging service, Cat helped me with my tight hips and back. Will definitely be returning.

Fantastic experience: Cat has been wonderful since I joined her Pilates class a couple of weeks ago. I am pregnant and she tailors the moves to suit me still ensuring I can join in with the class fully. She has been very welcoming and the environment in the studio is relaxed and friendly. Thank you Cat x

Fantastic experience: Have been going to Cath for Sports Massage for several years. The massage is excellent and really helps with my aches and pains. Cath is very friendly and I always have an enjoyable experience. She also tailors the treatment depending on what aches and pains I have. Most recently Cath has also been able to help with scar massage. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Cat and Gav bring a non judgemental and friendly environment in house and at rugby. With their extensive knowledge all of our players are well looked after at training and on game day!

Fantastic experience: Superb atmosphere. I always leave feeling so relaxed. Thanks Cath.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Cat's classes since around 2011 (?). She always offers a variety of movements/exercises that keep you from suffering with back problems. She is also sparky and lively with lots of banter thrown in for free! She's very good, though, and, actually, very committed to her clients.

Fantastic experience: I play a lot of rugby and their sports massages have kept me going and made injuries quicker to get over, highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Cat's is amazing, she ensures that the atmosphere in her classes are welcoming and inclusive regardless of ages gender or ability! I have been coming here for over a month now and have noticed a major improvement in my mobility and flexibility, most definitely recommend the yoga and pilates class!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of loft Pilates for many years , so many I have lost count I must though proclaim that Cat provides an excellent service and is very creative and adaptable in her approach for those like myself with injuries and disabilities. Despite attending Pilates I have never experienced a massage until today. I tried the hot stones massage and what an experience I would definitely recommend to others as I myself have brought it for family members as I was so impressed.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Cat's classes for nearly 10 years so I think that says it all. When I started Pilates, having done no exercise for years, my back was always painful. Now it isn't perfect but it's much better and I am fitter as I've progressed and joined her fitness classes too. My job means I sit at a PC all day so have enjoyed my first sports massage with Cat. Great that Cat can help with everything you need to keep dodging those aches and pains!!

Fantastic experience: Ive been having a sports massage for a few weeks my back problem was sorted the next day and ive been having work on my shoulder which was causing me a lot of pain when i was lifting i feel great its worth having it done

Fantastic experience: Highy recommend The Loft Pilates & Yoga studio, the yoga classes are a great workout and Cat really makes you stretch

Fantastic experience: The Loft was highly recommended to me by my Chiropractor as I wanted massage treatments to treat some aches and pains as a result of time in the gym. I've been going to The Loft since February 2022 and the treatments are fantastic. Cat is attentive and is a highly skilled masseuse. Treatments are value for money, especially if you buy the massage package, clinic is clean and tidy as well. I highly recommend The Loft for massage treatments!

Fantastic experience: Great instructor and atmosphere. No need to be superfit to join and great choice of classes. Definitely noticed a difference after only a few weeks.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the classes that Cat puts on. She's been a life saver during lockdown. I've been attending a mixture of face to face fitness and yoga classes for about 3yrs. Really friendly and professional environment. Cat works with you at your own pace, whilst still pushing and encouraging you to reach a higher level of fitness. Would highly recommend this class to others.

Fantastic experience: Really recommend Cat’s classes. The Saturday morning sessions are hard…. however Cat and the rest of the class are so lovely and supportive so you don’t feel you’re struggling alone. Class content varies with weights and bands but you can go at your own pace/level.

Fantastic experience: Cath is so professional and really listens to what you have to say and treat you accordingly brilliant service

Fantastic experience: I had a Sports Massage booked in with Cat. She delivered a great treatment which was incredibly effective. I intend to book in again and I urge you to do the same if you're looking for a sports masseuse who knows their stuff.

Fantastic experience: I have taken my son and myself for several sports massages here and they have been great. Very professional and followed all the guidelines (as it was during ‘Covid times’)

Fantastic experience: Treatments are fantastic can not recommend enough

Fantastic experience: Brilliant service, after hip operation has helped a lot with my recovery, friendly atmosphere, cannot recommend more

Fantastic experience: Had a deep tissue massage from Cat on 15/4/2021. Service very very professional, clean environment and very knowledgeable on injury and recovery. Highly recommended. Thanks Cat!

Fantastic experience: Cat has kept me sane and fit through this lockdown period. Always professional, knowledgeable and entertaining with a full and varied programme. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Really great independent fitness studio. Cat offers a variety of fitness classes and therapeutic treatments in a friendly setting. The small class sizes are great and if you’ve got any health issues as Cat has the ability to help everyone individually.

Fantastic experience: The Loft is highly recommended for all sorts of excercising. Cat is a very knowledgeable instructor you will enjoy the classes no matter what fitness level or age.

Fantastic experience: Love the yoga, Cat really knows how to make you stretch!

Fantastic experience: Excellent, I highly recommend this gym,

Fantastic experience: Great fitness classes. Not pretentious like a gym

Fantastic experience: I have been booking myself in for Sports Massages by Cath as I've had back ache for quite some time now working in an office where you are seated throughout most of the day. After our first meeting and a consultation on what I wanted seen too, Cath was very knowledge and worked on the area that was causing the pain. Since I first attended, I have been back on a regular basis to ensure my back stays without the dreaded knots that gets built up over time, she even discovers knots in different parts of your back that I never knew about which is always a treat! I have struggled finding a suitable masseuse who can apply the pressure that Cath does and cannot recommend Cath enough!

Fantastic experience: Cat is amazing! She has great understanding of the body. Highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic knowledge of what I wanted and needed when I told and showed Kath the areas on my stomach I wanted lipo on. A consultation was carried out before anything. I was well looked after by Kath , She had great knowledge at understanding what was needed for me. Always a warm happy welcome , i would recommend this establishment to any one who needs fitness as they are so full of knowledge when it comes to body and mind. I wouldn't go any where else for the treatments I had of Kath.

Fantastic experience: Both my daughters attend the karate classes and they really do enjoy them. They encourage self discipline, motivation, team work and personal development. Catering for all age groups from children to adults. You soon start to feel like your in a extended family.

Fantastic experience: I recently suffered pain in my shoulder and tricep, and knew Cat from attending her classes, to be a very professional, friendly and experienced fitness instructor who also did sports massage. So I booked a series of treatments with Cat at her Studio in Erdington. I was made to feel very welcome and relaxed immediately, and Cat soon found the areas that were causing my pain, and this after only 1 session. I can honestly say that after only a couple of sessions, I experienced a marked improvement, both in shoulder mobility and also lack of pain. Due to my experience, I cannot recommend "The loft pilates and fitness studio" and Cat highly enough, and will be booking again for monthly sessions. Thanks Cat.

Fantastic experience: Cat's Pilates classes are always fun and relaxed and really help my poorly knees and back!
