body and balance

I find it great to take in both the Pilates and Groove Pilates Fusion. Between the two, I get a great workout and good core strength. I am amazed at how energising it is to be fit, and the classes are fast and fun. Jill is a warm person and motivating instructor. Thanks Jill!

I have been doing jill’s Pilates classes for a while now and although we are in a group of 15 or 20 people, Jill knows every single detail and fitness level of each of her students. She reconfigure each exercises to cater for each person and on a personal level.

My Chiropractor advised I try Pilates to strengthen my core about 7 years ago. What a fabulous piece of advice, I haven’t looked back! I have never been a gym person but I look forward to each and every class I do with Jill knowing I will feel the benefits.

Edwina Dalli, Manly NSW Australia

I joined a local gym as I thought I would be able to use the pool, weight machines and go to Pilates classes like yours, but the Pilates is so bad compared to yours that I have come back to your classes and I will just use the pool and machines in the gym.

Jill’s vast experience in the health profession, enables her to perform a very accurate postural analysis, both of her new and existing clients…

Ann McCarthy, Chiropractor, Manly NSW Australia

I am now in Poland and there are many gyms offering Pilates and even Zumba, all in Polish. I found one gym which has Pilates in English once a week. However, I am not going there anymore. I miss your classes by the beach and your way of teaching, so I am doing Pilates on my own twice a week, using your DVD. I am quite disciplined in that:-) and do it even on Holiday!

Kyung He, Warsaw Poland
I love Jill’s classes! Not only can I feel my body working hard from the inside out, but Jill’s energy lifts my spirit too. My advice is try everything on offer, I love the chi ball class but the barre class worked my quads like never before! And the fusion Pilates dance/ yoga worked up a sweat and was SO much fun. What can I say… Jill makes it fun keeps you smiling and fit!

Jill has achieved what I didn’t think possible, no attacks of sciatica since attending her Pilates classes. As a 72 year old suffering sciatica and rheumatoid arthritis my fear of becoming immobile terrified me.

Andrea Taylor, Curl Curl NSW Australia
YogaPilates Fusion tonight was brilliant. I have been doing Pilates elsewhere for 6 years and your mix of Yoga and Pilates just felt so good and I enjoyed it more than any other class I have done. I just love it. Thank you Jill”

Catherine C. Manly NSW Australia

Thank you Jill for your wonderful classes. I never felt that I would regain my tummy muscles after 2 C sections and now I have since joining 1 to 2 Body and Balance classes per week. The other amazing benefit is that I have no need to see my osteopath every week and am saving 100′s of $$’s. Highly recommended and great motivational support from you too Jill.

Ariella said there are so many things to love about A45 Plus Pro-age Empowerment App. “I haven’t exercised for more than five years… Was finding it hard to get motivated until I found this app. My biggest challenge was that I “never had time“ but I can’t use that excuse anymore. The app has videos that are anywhere from 5 minutes to 20 minutes and include single exercises and full classes. I could take these exercises and do them at work and anywhere when I found myself with 10 minutes free. I loved that I could track my progress daily and I’ve gone from not being able to do five squats to now up to 50 per day. I lost inches and my clothes are loose. Walking was painful but now I walk daily. The weekly Zoom calls with Jill are very targeted and Help to motivate and keep me on track and The nutrition guides were also excellent. Really Simple to follow. I can highly recommend this to anyone especially women over 40ish who may be challenged by symptoms of menopause… I found exercise help to alleviate many of the symptoms. If you’ve been thinking about exercising and not sure where to start… start here.
