Patient testimonials

I started pilates because of pain in my hip that interfered with sleep. I have never enjoyed doing exercises, preferring tennis or walking to keep fit, but feel I have benefitted from my weekly studio class and many online classes. I even quite enjoy doing an exercise class now !!

I love my weekly Pilates class, couldn't now do without it, wish I had started it years ago Danny is a great teacher, always encouraging and perfectly manages to balance hard work with fun and laughter. A fabulous way to improve ones strength, balance, posture and overall fitness !

I joined Marilyn’s Pilates class in October 21, post retirement and as a complete novice. The teaching is excellent - never the same from week to week. All muscle groups get a good work out which is great. The class is fun and Marilyn is always on hand with help and encouragement! My posture and flexibility have definitely improved.

A friendly well taught pilates class taken by Danny, with care and attention should you have any ongoing problems.

I started a regular Pilates class nearly 2 years ago due to reoccuring back pain. I absolutely love Marilyn's classes and how tailored they are to the members of the class. It is much more then Pilates. The whole team understand your areas of weakness and help you develop them. I really feel it when I can't make a class so religously attend. I can honestly say that I am so much stronger then when I started!

I really value my weekly Pilates class with Marilyn. Marilyn takes very good care of us in Class. She explains everything very well encourages us and adapts any exercise that we are finding difficult physically. She makes Class fun. She cares about us all.

I have been doing Pilates at the Hatt Clinic for several years, including Reformer classes. It has transformed my attitude towards my body and l feel much stronger. It has also improved by balance. Classes are always of a high standard and l particularly like how the exercises are built up gradually during the class, with options available at every stage.

Without Pilates at Hatts over the last 10 years, I think it unlikely I’d still be fit enough to enjoy my golf. Under the keen, professional and empathetic eyes of Marilyn, Danny, Jill and the other instructors, it’s been rewarding and (mostly) a pleasure!

Pilates at Hatt’s is always an enjoyable experience, Marilyn has a great knack of working us hard and making it fun. It is the only exercise class I have stuck at and have been going to Hatt’s for 12 years since I slipped a disc and it keeps by back moving.

I have a Pilates class with Marilyn which is small, only five people at the most. This enables Marilyn to help us individually while looking over the whole class. Her classes are explanatory while enjoying the interaction between us. I have been attending for just over a year and find my movement is much better having found difficulty and pain walking previously. Marilyn is a good, patient teacher with a sense of fun and I enjoy the class with her. The staff are all very helpful and polite and it is a pleasure to visit.

I do regular Pilates classes with Marilyn and sometimes Emma which are always unexpectedly enjoyable, varied, and I can only imagine the thing that keeps my old joints and bones moving reasonably well! All the Hatts trainers are highly knowledgeable, motivated and give the encouraging impression that they also enjoy what they are doing. I also go to Danny for strength and conditioning classes and the same applies, whether or not I detest doing some of the exercises that are outside my comfort zone and also are no doubt doing a good job of keeping me moving. Hatts provides excellent classes and on the few occasions I have used physio services, they have been really professional and useful with equally knowledgeable and experienced practitioners.

My flexible membership Pilates classes at Hatt are a highlight of my week. My main instructor is Marilyn and Danny. Marilyn is a highly motivating teacher who runs the classes brilliantly. Her passion for her work and attention to detail with her classes makes for a first class experience. Danny is equally inspiring and these classes never disappoint. I have gained both physical benefits and greater strength and confidence over the months. In fact all the teachers have been on point and a friendly clean, bright environment helps. This is a first class set up. Highly recommend
