Prior physio & Pilates 9 Radford Street, Stone ST15 8DA

"Rediscovered the true benefits of Pilates after several years trying different classes. Anne-Marie provides excellent professional friendly personal 121 tuition and guidance with exercises tailored to individual need. Feel safe and stretched at the same time. The studio is bright, clean, calm and airy. After the first session , I felt “ unscrunched “ and lighter. Each subsequent session my flexibility has improved.Thanks Anne - Marie !"

"I started Pilates with Anne-Marie nearly three years ago now and to date my only regret is that I didn’t discover Pilates sooner! I’m a self employed tradesman, I didn’t really know whether it was for me, or what to expect, but Anne-Marie is caring and patient, puts up with my aches, pains and occasional odd socks! In fact, socks aside, one of the best things about my weekly session is that it is a full body workout completely tailored to how I’m feeling, and what I feel like working on (or fixing!).This is all in a very pleasant, well laid out studio that is always light, clean, airy and relaxing, a great place for some exercise and to set me up for the day! Since taking up Pilates, my aches and pains are fewer and much further in between. I’m so much stronger. When I do come home aching, what would’ve had me in pain for a number of days has usually gone by the following day. I’m generally much better at being who & what I want to be, instead of spending my weekends feeling broken & recovering from a week of work, I’m usually full of energy and somewhere in the great outdoors finding more fun ways to break myself! I’m definitely a convert, Pilates has gone from being something I was going to try and “see how it went”, to something i don’t see myself ever giving up - there are so many benefits. I can highly recommend it to anybody (and frequently do)."

"The highlight of my week is spending an hour in Anne-Marie’s Pilates Studio. My sessions are physio therapy led and tailored especially for me and my needs, so enjoyment and gaining strength - what’s not to like. Furthermore Ann-Marie is patient and very kind and we can have a bit of a giggle sometimes. I can’t recommend this studio highly enough. It is well equipped and is meticulously clean. Anne Marie is currently holding classes on zoom , but as a qualified physiotherapist, my class and other clients that are looking for physio led classes are currently able to attend the studio . I did do zoom classes in the first lockdown and that was very successful too. Hopefully the studio will be open to all in the near future."

"Always a joy to spend an hour at the studio with Anne-Marie. Her knowledge and expertise, not to mention her diligence and patience in tailoring the session to you as an individual is exceptional. New equipment is being installed to add to the already fabulous experience... cannot wait to get back and have no hesitation in recommending Anne-Marie / Prior Pilates. She is FAB U LOUS xx"

"From a fairly low starting base Pilates with Anne-Marie has really helped me to start getting more in tune with my body and understanding the inter connectivity of muscles and movements. I have seen an improvement in my recovery after exercise thanks to simple but tailored stretching exercises for my needs and We have systematically worked on weak areas/ muscles/ old injuries to strengthen and develop them. The sessions are focussed and challenging while relaxing and calming. I would definitely recommend to anyone lookin to improve flexibility, suppleness and build core strength."
