Jenny  I loved your approach to pilates and the way you made me welcome.   Stella I love the music you play in your aerobic and step classes, I forget I am working out when I am singing along to Abba or my favourite 70s or 80s tracks.   Sarah Your dance classes are the best I have ever been to, very unusual but very interesting and you are such a fun instructor to follow.   Barry I didn't know you could sweat in yoga!   Clare That was the best yoga class I have ever been to.   Tony I have never, ever felt as worked out as I do in your pilates class.  I don't know what you do but it certainly works!   Annette When you first started the pilates class, I thought you would be soft and gentle as your approach implied.  Boy was I wrong!  You are a honeyed sadist!   Rachel I know when I have done one of Alex's pilates class as I can feel my abs for a week afterwards, I can't even laugh because it hurts too much.   Helen Your motivation and energy keep us all going back to your classes.  You are an inspiration to us all.  Thank you.
