The Pilates Room Wells

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Ali’s Pilates classes-she is always enthusiastic and cheerful, she is very encouraging to everyone in the class and her classes are varied and interesting with good explanations for everything we are doing. The hour flies by! She is organised, punctual and great at communicating. 5 stars from me ⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Having moved to Wells area from across the country it took me over a year to find The Pilates Room and Ali as a Pilates teacher I thought was as good as my previous teacher. Ali makes classes (in person and on line) very good work outs exercising all body parts and mind whilst also making the sessions fun. Ali is exceptionally good at verbalising the moves and making one understand even if you are doing the class remotely and not able to look at the screen whilst moving. Her instructions are very explicit and all exercises have built in progression enabling different levels of participation. She always considers different needs and encourages people to contact her with ideas and requests for particular exercises. She treats each person as if they are the only one in the class making them feel important and valued with a good mixture of instruction and praise. In short, Ali managed to make me feel I had "landed'" in my new area and that I did belong and could carry on with my favourite exercise with a very experienced teacher!

Fantastic experience: Excellent pilates in a friendly class. Ali is encouraging and makes the classes great fun - as well as making me feel like I have had a good work out

Fantastic experience: I have been going every week to Ali’s 1:1 private sessions for over four years. I find them the highlight of my week. Ali is bright, positive and very professional - her studio light-filled and very well equipped. I love the range of exercises - particularly those done on the Reformer. Ali has helped strengthen my muscles, improved my balance and general fitness -I am walking taller and with added confidence.

Fantastic experience: I approached Ali because I needed to regain strength lost as a result of six months' illness which had affected my ability to do the smallest task without losing my breath. Muscle wastage had set in and I was aware that I was spiralling downwards in strength and spirit. Ali has been so very encouraging and , thanks to her Pilates classes, I am regaining muscle tone and my confidence, now using 1Kg weights! I should add that I am in my late 70s and I encourage my fellow oldies in the community to join her classes, which, although full of much younger members, make me feel very much part of the group and we have such fun together. As Ali often reminds us, even laughter is good for the tummy muscles!

Fantastic experience: Amazing, fun and extremely good for your body! Ali is a great teacher - she explains everything fully and is very down to earth & easy going. She encourages us and gets us moving muscles we didn't know we had! I started as a complete beginner and, after 2 years, my core is so much stronger and I feel way healthier than I have ever imagined I could be. I definitely recommend her classes.

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Ali as a Pilates teacher, she teaches both mat classes and 1-1 reformer sessions. Her classes are full of variety and fast moving. she packs a lot into an hour but tailors the classes to the clients abilities. She knows her clients well and will quietly and discreetly direct clients to alternate exercises if the one she is teaching isn’t appropriate. She gently corrects form but pushes and encourages participants to work their hardest. In 1-1 sessions, she plans sessions specifically at for clients and any issues they may have. She is compassionate and caring, lighthearted and good natured but motivating and encouraging to get clients to achieve their best.

Fantastic experience: Ali is an inspiring teacher. I had never done Pilates before but a friend recommended his Pilates teacher - Ali. Since starting her classes I am becoming stronger and more flexible. Amazingly, my dodgy knee now rarely troubles me. Her manner is very encouraging and supportive. Her classes are good fun. She also provides a separately recorded online version of the class content (the actual real class is not recorded) so you need never miss a class. Well worth doing! Tony

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend doing pilates with Ali. She's knowledgeable and friendly, and her studio is a lovely clean bright space. I have a number of joint problems and Ali has helped me become stronger and more flexible while making each session fun.
