Fantastic experience: I’ve moved from “I’m not doing pilates” to “I love pilates”. I do Reformer Pilates classes 2-3times a week and love every session for the benefits in strengthening core structures and posture. Fran is hugely knowledable about all things related to body, structures, movement, energy, and life in general! She has a wicked sense of humour and understands individuals needs in every session. Firmly Fit Studio is a fun, fabulous, frendly, and supportive pilates sudio.

Carey & Margaret Lye Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Honestly, joining Firmly Fit Pilates in Feilding was one of the best things I have ever done!!! I was very nervous about joining because I was so uncoordinated and lacked strength and I remember the very first time I went, hoping no one would notice me. I could hardly do anything, honestly, I couldn't even put my feet in the straps without help from Fran. Never once did Fran make me feel embarrassed or uncomfortable, she is so welcoming and helpful to everyone in the class. I can't believe my body now and what I have achieved. Firmly Fit Pilates has changed my life!! I feel SO thankful that we have Fran and her studio here in Feilding, we are very lucky. I just love it and hate missing my sessions. Come along and give it a try, you will be amazed at what you can achieve.

Kelly Robinson Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fran and her Firmly Fit team are simply amazing. I was introduced to Firmly Fit after developing problems with my feet. Like others I have plenty of other ongoing issues, and Fran has continued to help me understand and strengthen the right muscles to support my body. Fran's knowledge and attention ensures i understand and preform all exercises correctly. The classes are always challenging, and although I could return to my previous exercise pattern, pilates through Firmly Fit continues to be my number one choice. Thanks Fran and the team ❤️

Fantastic experience: Positive vibes from this tribe Laughter is the best medicine and my body and mind always feels better after a class. Thanks to the Firmly Fit teaching stars

Rochelle Whakarau Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was nervous about joining reformer pilates. I signed up for a private class with Fran. This helped me become familiar with the reformer machine. Fran and the other instructors are friendly and knowledgeable and are aware when you may need a little more support. Its cool when you know what muscles you are working and feel they have had a good workout the next day. When I started I had groin pain from tight hips which soon went away. I Highly reccomend Firmly Fit Pitates.

Susanne Williams Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I just started Reformer classes after a long Covid-enforced break from Mat classes - absolutely love it!! Just as much fun with Fran of course, but very different style of exercise - feels much easier to manage, but a very good workout! Highly recommend you try it out!

Jules Bradbury Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Firmly fit is such a good studio and has a great friendly non-daunting feel. I love reformer pilates but there is a tonne of options to choose from. Fran and Charlotte are amazing, brutal but amazing!

melinda Little Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Firmly Fits passion for correct form and movement is second to none. The care taken to ensure you are performing with the correct technique is paramount to them. Making every single person feel just as important as every one in the class is normal in all classes. Thank you Firmly Fit need a sixth star for this studio

Fantastic experience: A really fun and friendly atmosphere. Great support from Fan and her team, very knowledgeable and make the classes enjoyable. A good way to improve core strength and flexibility. I highly recommend Firmly Fit to anyone.

Frances Taylor Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Following a serious car accident my daughter made a reasonable recovery. However she was still left with back pain which interrupted her sleep most nights. Finally after several years, a trip to the Emergency Department and a MRI, a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis at age 22 was made. Following extensive hospital based rehabilitation and physiotherapy with lots of hard work, I discussed her symptoms with Fran and she suggested a personal assessment so she could thoroughly check her out and recommend the correct exercises that would help improve her back and hip issues. She tries to attend weekly 1:1 sessions and I can say her mobility has improved from being in a wheelchair full time, to occasionally needing mobility assistance. Her back pain is vastly reduced and it no longer keeps her awake ay night. I would recommend Fran’s Pilates classes and 1:1 sessions as her expertise has vastly improved my daughter’s long term care.

Jackie C Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Fran and her team at Firmly Fit more. Classes are delivered in an easy to understand and safe way. They are also really fun. Thoroughly worthwhile especially if your recovering from an injury and need to improve your flexibility

Sharon Holmes Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'm delighted I found Fran's studio 4 years ago. The classes are challenging, but fun, and the instructors cater the class to those who attend. If you have an injury, Fran will alter the exercise to ensure you get through the workout safely. I'm far stronger now than I ever was in my 20's.

Vivianne Wolstencroft Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was so scared to start my fitness journey. I shouldn't have been Fran and Charlotte are totally amazing! I have loved my first few sessions of dynamic reformer pilates. Such a supportive, kind environment and nothing is too much trouble. They work with you to achieve the best you can do!

Krystal Culver Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am so not someone that commits to physical exercise. I’m the person who would rather curl up on the couch with a good book and wine. Yet, i’ve been attending Firmly Fit classes for almost 18 months! That’s all down to how amazing and inclusive the classes are. Fran and the girls are super supportive and knowledgeable, and I’ve noticed massive improvements in my physical wellbeing, including no more back pain! I rave about classes to anyone and everyone. Give it a go, you won’t look back!

TeresaS (TeresaS) Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Firmly Fit has a fun, friendly atmosphere. Fran is very knowledgeable and passionate about Pilates and can adjust movements to all abilities. I love the weekly informative and inspirational emails.

Isobel Death Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this lady. For many years I have had major problems with my foot which had really hindered my everyday activities. Despite consultations with doctors, orthopaedics and chiropractors nothing improved. The podiatrist did make some improvements, but it was temporary. I went to Firmly Fit to improve my core and the side effect has been my foot problems have resolved. The other side effect is sore muscles, but I knew that would happen . And my deportment has improved dramatically. Fran is very conscious of individual health problems and tailors her program to cater for the individual. I cannot speak highly enough of her or her class instruction.

Gary & Jo Nesdale Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Pilates has had such a positive impact on me, reducing pain and improving strength & posture. Fran is so friendly & very knowledgeable! She explains & demonstrates moves so well. "Firmly fit" has a fun & inclusive vibe so it doesn't matter if you are a beginner or have done a lot of pilates, you will feel welcome.

Jacynda Murray Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been attending the reformer Pilates classes at Firmly Fit for a number of months now and have really appreciated the time Fran and her team have taken to work with me as I navigate my postpartum body. They have adapted many a move for me and Fran is very knowledgeable when it comes to our bodies and is working with me to focus on rebuilding my core and reduce lower back pain. The classes are hard work but super fun! Great class times that work in with my busy life and great online booking systems in place. Thanks Fran, Charlotte and co

Pippa Lampkin Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Firmly Fit for over a year now and absolutely love it, I started with one class a week and now do two. I recommend these classes to all of my friends and family. Fran, the owner, is so lovely and welcoming. Each class varies in workout, targeting the whole body which is awesome and so much fun. Everyone is so friendly and it is a great way to meet new people.

Sam & Juliet Chambers Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started Fran’s reformer classes a few months ago and would highly recommend. I can already feel the difference in my body especially in my posture and strength. The classes are always a laugh with Fran keeping the atmosphere enjoyable, supportive and motivating!

kate steadman Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love Firmly Fit! Fran has excellent banter, but she also makes sure you're working hard and getting the technique right. Classes are always fun and different and you could almost convince yourself you're not exercising...if it wasn't for the sore muscles the next day!

Karen Gist Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love my reformer pilates classes and thoroughly recommend them. I had found myself struggling with pain, stiffness and weakness in my body.

My core strength has improved along with my balance and posture. Thank you so much Fran for what you do.

Fiona Manning Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Fran at Firmly Fit not just for her exercise routines but also her passion and endless knowledge of how our body works. She knows what exercises to teach for whatever you are wanting to achieve, and she does this all with her amazing bubbly positive attitude, and you do learn to ignore the dad jokes after a while. My only negative is i wish I'd found Fran sooner ❤
