Testimonials

I have been attending Paula's fitness classes for about 10 years and love them! They are a highlight of the week and boost my physical and mental health. Paula makes the classes great fun and incorporates different levels into the exercises for us to choose from. She knows everyone's strengths and weaknesses and the classes are friendly and welcoming. During Covid it was great to do Paula's online classes and I still do the online HIIT as well as face to face Keep Fit, Pilates and Dance Fitness. Coffees and lunches out and the annual Fitness Weekends are an added bonus!

Angela Legge

I have attended Paula's Pilates for Over 50's class for nearly five years and thoroughly enjoy it. Paula is an experienced instructor who makes the class interesting, and as challenging as you wish. She is particularly good at adapting exercise for those who have mobility issues. Paula also organises lunch after the class on a regular basis, so people can get to know each other. I would not have any hesitation in recommending you try her classes.

Anne Boulton

Can I just say how much I enjoy all your classes past and present; everyone is so friendly. I love the way you do all the different levels of everything so that its suits us all, as I know we all have different requirements/levels. You keep an eye on us and are always there to step in and give us helpful advice and demonstrations to improve what we do. Thank you so much.

Christine Peace

I've always found Paula's classes excellent for keeping fit and helping to keep in shape generally. I like the way she approaches her classes and keeps everyone involved whatever their levels. There's a lot of humour and lightheartedness involved which also keeps the classes fun. The meditation in Pilates also makes, the experience, balancing the body and mind.

Gwen Ardern

I've enjoyed participating in Paula's classes for many years. She puts effort into making the classes varied and there are different levels / variations depending on ability / injuries. I feel the benefit from attending both physically and mentally.

Jo Higson

Keep Fit with Paula is a fab way to keep fit and have fun at the same time. Being able to combine face to face with online classes gives me the opportunity to keep motivated when I can't get to class. Paula always gives you different options of levels to suit your circumstances. I genuinely love my exercise classes with Paula!

Kay Wallis

Paula's Pilates classes are an escape from the daily routine. The exercises are challenging but rewarding and all fitness levels are welcomed, you are encouraged to push yourself within your own abilities with each week providing a change of poses and stretches. I would recommend to anyone wanting to keep fit and active within a comfortable space.

Louise Raistrick

I've loved being able to join Paula's classes remotely. It really helped me during a long period at home, it meant I could use the recordings to do my workout early in the morning. I followed the weekly sessions and I felt I got to know everyone as well (albeit virtually!!) Excellent instructions for different abilities and really helped me to stay focused and feel good. Thank you Paula xxX

Pam and Paul Hammond

I was looking for an exercise class that was non-weight bearing, due to an accident some years ago, making traditional exercising difficult for me so l gave a Keep Fit with Paula's class a go called ' SIT Fitness ' and I have say it was such fun, joining a bunch of mixed individuals enjoying the joy of movement. The music is uplifting and fun and I must confess my brain got a workout too, remembering all the seated dance routines!

Sharon Taylor

I have been going to Paula's keep fit class for 18 years and I love it, not because I'm a Baywatch girl, just small, round and an OAP. Everyone is very friendly and we have a laugh (mostly at me) as well as going out for coffee, sometimes lunch yummy. Come and join us we are a good bunch of people that have fun.
