Love my visits here. I attend pre and post natal Pilates with Teresa and find the class so beneficial. I also attend Louise for physio and have made huge progress. Could not recommend more highly. Lovely staff, safe and hygienic premises, if you haven’t gone – go! 5 stars ⭐️
Just back from my first visit with Louise I can honestly say it was the best experience I have ever had from start to finish such a lovely lady I would highly recommend anyone to go visit. I will definitely be returning again thanks 👍
Just had my 2nd session with Carolina, she is so professional and the exercise programe given for in between sessions are excellent. Overall excellent experience.
I cannot recommend Louise O’Rourke & her staff enough, had a Physio session for TMJ this morn’, cannot believe the relief after 1 session. I also cannot stress how effective reformer classes are, my change in body mobility is like day & night, Carolina Pacheo & all the physios, thank you 👍
