  After years of wanting to try pilates, I finally took the plunge with Helen and her team at Pilates in Sevenoaks. I have been doing one-to-one classes with Angeline, and attended several group sessions, and have quickly seen an amazing transformation of how my body works and most importantly, how it feels. This is unquestionably the best pilates studio in the area. The studio I attend is situated in the Garden Centre in Knockholt, it offers a secluded, beautiful and calming atmosphere. The studio itself is light, modern, spacious, and very clean. The equipment, especially that to do with the reformers, is in top condition with an array of accessories readily available to the students should they wish to elevate their individual practice to a higher and more challenging level of strength. Angeline gave me an excellent and very refined Basics class (only basic in learning the techniques), and her lessons include a very diverse range of exercises, which she always carries out with precision and warmth. A great deal of emphasis goes towards exercising the right muscle groups and segments of the body, using correct positioning, movement and breathing. There is consistent caring supervision to ensure that every student carries out each exercise correctly and safely. As a teacher Angeline is highly professional, very sharp, and exceptionally technical in her knowledge of the human anatomy, muscles groups, the joint structures, and breathing styles. She is also very friendly, patient and supportive throughout the learning process, and has been most generous with her time so as to ensure that her students pick up on the right technique from the start. She has put me totally at ease when I was a nervous starter, and I have found her knowledge about the human body really enlightening and her guidance has helped me to improve my overall exercise practice in so many ways. In addition, Helen the owner is a very considerate and accommodating trainer, and has shown great kindness and understanding when those were needed. Helen offers a variety of plans to facilitate different schedules and work frames. She is very approachable and resolution driven to guarantee the satisfaction of her students. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend this place!

  Helen has been amazing help with my recovery. After a nasty ankle/leg fracture in October which resulted in surgery I started Pilates with Helen 2 weeks post op. We worked in building up core and upper body strength and she tailored each session to avoid any weight bearing exercises. 11 weeks down the line and now able to do a lot more, I am feeling much stronger and have improved so much. Helen is a wonderful teacher, and takes time to ensure that the exercises are comfortable and work for me personally! Beautiful, clean studios with a huge variety of equipment! Would absolutely recommend to anyone who hasn’t tried Pilates before. Can’t wait to join in the classes! Thank you Helen! You’re the best!

  Could not wish for better support and advice on choosing a course from Helen. My absolute beginners class is exactly as described. My tutor Jacqui is so kind, patient and adaptable to my mobility issues. I love the safe sanitised surroundings. Massive improvement in my first 3 weeks and ongoing, I’m actually able to walk upstairs properly for the first time in years. No fancy clothes or expensive equipment required either. It’s just an excellent class to attend and one that I look forward to each week. Thank you so much Helen and Jacqui.

  I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Helen & Co for making virtual Pilates possible. Attending weekly Pilates at Coolings studio was great and will be again soon, but to move from studio to your home I never envisaged and it’s great. I had a few technical hitches, but soon overcome with my trusted iPhone, lightning cable and voila, I have Pilates on TV. The classes are great and still with the guidance and encouragement you get when in the studio and whilst still going through uncertain times, Pilates for me is great for mind and body and leaves you feeling positive and knowing that you body has benefited, which is evident. I’ve been doing Pilates with Helen for several years now and I’ve had lower back problems since I was 18, some 30 years later I wish I had done Pilates long before, because it does help, everybody should give it a go and Helen will focus on you individually if she knows you have any aches or pains and she will give you the correct movements and advice to improve body and posture. So THANK YOU, Helen and her team are a godsend.

  I have been attending Pilates classes with Helen Whitaker twice a week for a number of years. Helen is a thoughtful, considerate and communicative teacher. She explains the reason behind each exercise. I normally go to a class at Chipstead hall and the other at the Cooling Studio, which is really well equipped. I have been really impressed by how quickly Helen adapted to online, virtual classes. They work really well streamed via Zoom. I had my doubts about classes online but with Helen's clear instructions and guidance they have been very successful.
