Fantastic experience: Loving the reformer class

Fantastic experience: The reformer classes are amazing. Love the energy Jess brings to each class. Book in now

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend! My flexibility has improved hugely and by lower back pain has gone. And the classes are fun!

Fantastic experience: I am loving Jess’ postpartum pilates! She creates a fun and relaxed space to get back into movement after having a baby would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: The mums and bubs class is such a positive and calm environment. The teacher gives so much support and is so caring, taking the time to look after the little ones so the mums can have their time.

Fantastic experience: I have really enjoyed the chair palates sessions with Jess. It's well within my scope of physical abilities, with like minded ladies and in a warm, comfortable environment.

Fantastic experience: I love coming to class. I do with mat and reformer, and having both options is great! I'm really enjoying it and Jess is amazing

Fantastic experience: I have attended Active Core for a good while.. starting with mat Pilates .. I really look forward to my lessons with Jess .. I’m using a reformer now and really enjoying this new experience…I feel the benefit of doing Pilates in the over 60’s classes now… aiming to get stronger… Such a welcoming place to do Pilates … Thank you Jess for your wonderfully entertaining and well run classes…

Fantastic experience: I have benefited from regular Pilates reformer classes. Jess at Active Core is thoughtful and tailors her classes to all abilities and ages. There is flexibility of her timetable. I highly recommend this business.

Fantastic experience: My Journey with Jess has been amazing. I enjoy being comfortable, flexible and happy after each visit. Jess always has her eyes on everyone during session and if you have Joint or Mussel concerns she will have an alternative way so you can carry on while in class. Highly recommend Active Core with Jess. Happy, fun and great results.

Fantastic experience: Jess is a brilliant teacher, really patient and supportive. For any tough guys out there with bad backs I thoroughly recommend the men’s only mat class. My lower back problems have much improved since joining Active Core.

Fantastic experience: The postpartum class with Jess has been amazing for my physical and mental health post baby. She makes you feel so comfortable and the babies love her! Baby and I look forward to our Thursday class every week

Fantastic experience: Classes go quickly because one move flows into the next, so no wasted time. You get a thorough workout, in a great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Started going to the Postpartum Mums and Bubs classes a couple of months ago and they are brilliant. Love the catch up chats and it’s such a welcoming and supportive environment (with a side of pilates). Feel I’ve really gained a good amount of strength and movement back already. Jess is an excellent instructor. Thanks so much!

Fantastic experience: I love both my mat and reformer Pilates classes. Jess has created a fantastic culture in the studio which is relaxed, non judgemental and friendly. I used to have a lot of problems with my back but that has really improved since starting Pilates some time ago now. This is the first time I have ever found an exercise class which I have really stuck to! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I love going to Pilates class each week. I started out with the mat class and when Jess brought reformers I thought I would try it and I love it! A fantastic all over body workout, and tailored to your level of fitness using the springs. Highly recommend reformer - thank you Jess ❤️

Fantastic experience: Although I'm in my late 50's I have always been active in one way or another. I have had issues with my L5 vertebrae and while my chiropracter can assist with this when it flares up, was looking at getting the ambulance back at the top of the cliff. With a mix of both mat & reformer classes, have not had any further issues with my L5. Over & above this, classes are fun & sociable and as an added benefit have lost a few inches around the middle ;). Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Jess is an excellent Pilates instructor. She provides great support to everyone & I would recommend her classes to anyone wanting to improve their flexibility and core strength

Fantastic experience: 5 stars++ Fun, local, professional, knowledgeable. Reformer a new exercise for me. I love it! Great to compliment a team sport. Jess is so lovely and great explaining moves, keeps us distracted when needed! Thank you Jess!

Fantastic experience: I felt I had to update my review as my Pilates journey has moved on since I posted below 5 months ago.. I have recently started the newly introduced Reformer Pilates classes with Jess. I have been attending the Mat Pilates for the past 15 months, and was interested in the reformer session. I am so pleased I gave it a go. The exercise gives me more stretch which I need to further increase my flexibility. I feel the Reformer class takes me gently to the next level of Pilates.. moving me only slightly out of my comfort zone in a safe space with like minded people. Jess is a great instructor. Because the class sizes are not too big she can suggest alternative options if needed to suit our capabilities. I am so pleased I have taken up Pilates..I feel so much better as a result and feel I am getting stronger and more flexible. PRIOR POST I am in my late 50's and decided I needed to become more flexible and stronger. Having never done Pilates I was apprehensive of initially joining a class with other people. I found Jess from Active Core offered private one on one session, so I booked in for a private class. It was terrific. She explained clearly and assisted me to get the exercises and holds correct. I felt so good after the first private class I decided to do another just to make sure it was something I felt would be enduring. I highly recommend Active Core for newcomers as well as those who have had previous Pilates experience. The one on one classes are a great way to have exercises tailored to suit your specific requirements. After the second private session, my confidence was greatly increased to the extent I decided to join classes now on a twice weekly basis. Jess is a fantastic instructor and the whole experience is enjoyable as well as extremely beneficial.

Fantastic experience: Jess at Active Core is a fab teacher and makes it a fun and relaxed environment to learn in. Highly recommend these classes and Jess is always looking for ways to keep things interesting and help her clients.

Fantastic experience: I love the small, social classes, where you can get the help and attention from Jess as needed. It’s a great way to get some exercise in and meet people and you can go at the level you need. Definitely recommend Active Core

Fantastic experience: Ive always felt uncomfortable at gyms in the past and not utilised my gym memberships properly. Jess’s small home-based classes are the total opposite vibe. Always comfortable, non-judgemental, and a good time!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Jess's class for over 2 months and loving it. Great classes challenging and fun and can feel the difference in suppleness and strength in the core. It's a great class and great banter thanks Jess for an awesome class.

Fantastic experience: The perfect workout and escape to unwind at the end of a busy day. Active Core is always a friendly space to walk into, with a no judgement approach and light hearted feel. Jess is a fantastic and approachable instructor, who never fails to make you feel comfortable. I always walk out of the studio feeling refreshed and energised.

Fantastic experience: Great place for Pilates!! The studio is always super clean and tidy. Also, Jess is a great teacher and the whole vibe is awesome!! Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: Being a first for pilates wasnt sure what to expect. Loved the workout and studio. Jess is very nice and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Love Jess's classes. Friendly, sociable and fun as well as a good work out!

Fantastic experience: Love going to see Jess every week. She is so bubbly and warm and the hour flies past! Her workouts are tailored to your level of fitness and you always leave feeling stronger and like you have achieved something. The studio is well presented and off street parking is available.

Fantastic experience: Jess is both friendly and knowledgeable, and makes you feel at ease in her pilates studio (even when you are a relative beginner). Her classes have plenty of variation week to week and are set at a great pace with varying levels of challenge offered.

Fantastic experience: I have only worked with Jessica for over the last 4-6 weeks. In that time my Pilates practice has improved greatly. In addition to private sessions I have also attended classes which I highly recommend as these are friendly and non judgemental. I have seen a lot of gains in the last 4-6 weeks and would highly recommend Jessica to anyone doing Pilates.

Fantastic experience: Jess is an awesome Pilates instructor, she explains all exercises very clearly, keeps an eye on each member of the class and ensures that we have a laugh each and every time we attend. I feel that my core and muscles have strengthened since I have attended Jess' sessions and I have made many new friendships with fellow attendees. Keep up the good work Jess :)

Fantastic experience: You could not ask for more from Jess at Active Core. She is amazing at teaching Pilates and super approachable as soon as you walk in the door. She looks after your health and well-being and goes out of her way to create a welcoming environment, especially when you’re a beginner like myself. Her 1:1 class was just what I needed to build my confidence before now attending regular classes weekly. It is the best vibe from the moment you step in the door!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic atmosphere, love it

Fantastic experience: Active core is a super friendly and welcoming environment ,I had never done pilates before starting this year and now 4 months into coming to weekly classes I’ve noticed a huge difference in my strength and no longer have as much back pain as I use to .Plus with the small classes jess is always there to help us when we need it :)

Fantastic experience: A small, private and relaxed Pilates studio with a friendly, welcoming and helpful instructor. Love how options are given for each exercise to suit all levels.

Fantastic experience: Have previously been to Pilates and then gave up. Have found Jess's classes to really friendly and Jess is super helpful. I have had an ongoing shoulder injury which has improved vastly since starting Pilates. My sister also attends Jess's classes and her long standing back pain has disappeared. Highly recommend you come check out Jess's classes

Fantastic experience: Active core is the perfect place if you're wanting to try Pilates. Super friendly and relaxed setting that caters to all levels and abilities. In just two and a half terms I feel stronger and more flexible and my old wrist sprain injury barely ever plays up anymore! The classes are social, friendly and limited sizes which means you can get the help and attention from Jess whenever you need.

Fantastic experience: Always lots of fun and definitely getting stronger which is the aim!

Fantastic experience: Active Core has a friendly and relaxing atmosphere where you can go for an amazing pilates session. A great place to try out if your wanting to work out but socialize at the same time.

Fantastic experience: I came to Active Core Pilates recovering from a severe injury to my left arm. I have gained stability and strength as well as a full range of motion. The physio has signed me off and doesn’t want to see me anymore. I would recommend Jess as a great option to improve your overall experience with fitness. She has understood my starting point and my end goal. Encouragement,humour and a good eye on my occasional slacking off has made my experience work! I am a person who can have a gym membership and never attend - but I feel like I am committed with the classes Great mixture of people and I can be as socially awkward as I like
