Pilates with Ian are a highlight of my week! After having two children my core was very weak and the exercises I was doing in the gym weren’t cutting it. A few weeks into Pilates I noticed my whole body becoming stronger, leaner and my core felt stable again. The exercises tailored to me and my goals have increased my flexibility, I walk taller, with more confidence and ease. I find Pilates a challenging yet meditative experience, my focus is fully switched on throughout the session and I always leave on a high. Quality instruction with top of the range equipment. Tens across the board!

I have been going to Leeds Pilates for several months now; have solved the problem with my hip that defeated the physio and and have noticed a huge difference in my overall strength. The group sessions are small (4-5) and are effectively individual coaching as Innes tailors exercises to each person. He is very knowledgeable and explains the rationale for each exercise as well as how to get the best use from each. Best and most effective exercise I have ever done . Would highly recommend

Love the pilates classes with Ian. He is so knowledgeable and patient and tailors the session to your needs. Great for strengthening your core and overall toning. I can achieve so much more at these sessions than I can at the gym. Always feel 10 feet tall and great when I finish my lesson. Would highly recommend Leeds Pilates.

I'm am now a total advocate of equipment based pilates for back pain and keep telling everyone who will listen to try it. Had about 18 months of low level pain that was causing me to lose sleep. Tried GP, short courses of prescription painkillers, NHS physio, private physio, various home exercises with not much luck. After a couple of sessions with Innes I started to feel the benefits and now it's totally solved and my back and core strength is better than ever. I'm a climber and have kept up the pilates as the benefits to my climbing have been very noticeable. Great personalised support from Innes, small class sizes, 100% recommended.

I started reformer pilates with Innes almost a year ago. I'd been suffering from hip pain and thought I'd give pilates a try to help with the problem. I now only notice the pain when I haven't done pilates. It's also helped me to improve my overall strength and I can definitely see a difference in my muscle tone which is a nice bonus. Innes runs brilliant sessions focussed on the needs of each individual, such a refreshing change from massive group classes with a 'one size fits all' approach. The sessions are friendly, calm and relaxed. Innes know just the right amount of challenge to provide to help me progress with my strength work. Pilates is the only exercise class I've ever done, where I don't watch the clock and wish it to be over, I really look forward to it each week! I would recommend Pilates with Innes to anyone, whether you have a specific complaint or not, the best decision you will make!

Innis has been coaching me for over 3 months, and my flexibility and posture have improved. His personal attention means my exercise program is tailored towards those muscles that need strengthening the most. There are never more than 2 or 3 other people at a time, so Innis is quick to spot who needs help to fine-tune a movement or stretch.

I spend my day sat at a desk or on the sofa on my laptop if I'm working from home and as a result I was getting back pain. Within a few months of joining the class my back pain was gone but I also found that my core strength drastically improved. I don't enjoy going to the gym or exercising but I love going to pilates. The group are lovely and Ian is a brilliant teacher. He's really kind and patient and is an expert in his field. I always see improvements and results following his advice. I rave about pilates to all my friends and would highly recommend Leeds Pilates Centre to everyone. They provide a tailored service to suit everyone's individual needs and the equipment is varied and top quality.

Suffering with an ankle problem which was threatening to affect a planned walking holiday, I attended the initial assessment with Innes last April. He explained to me how my knee issues were affecting my ankle & showed me how to exercise to improve both on the amazing equipment in the pleasant studio. He guided me through an individualised programme, as he does with each of his clients.(About 5 per session, each with their own programme, according to their needs) He is a highly experienced instructor with a friendly, encouraging approach & I was not only able to go on my walking holiday, but am also able to enjoy my weekly sessions, & the resulting improved strength in my whole body.

Innes is extremely knowledgeable and works with individuals to create programs and exercises that meet their individual recuperation needs. I have back issues and we have working together on various reformer exercises to improve my core and my overall strength. Innes is very approachable and makes each session enjoyable. I would recommend to anyone looking for rehab pilates.

Unfortunately due to work commitments I have had to cut my reformer journey short. What I would say is that in my short time I’ve met a great bunch of people. Ian is has been a great teacher tailoring my exercises to my needs which I have found to have had positive results from.I hope the best for the team and hope to rejoin in the future.

I highly recommend Leeds Pilates Centre and Innes my Instructor. I was motivated to explore reformer based Pilates for the first time to resolve a back problem. I was experiencing regular lower back pain and restriction as a result of sitting for long periods of time in my work. Not only have I completely resolved my niggling back problems, I am now leaner, stronger and more flexible and continue to see and feel the progress I'm making. The sessions are a wonderful mix of 1-1 tailored support from Innes, which meets my own specific needs, but also in a small group setting, which is a lovely balance. I really look forward to my weekly sessions.

I came to reformer Pilates with back, hip and knee pain. Ian’s expertise allowed him to tailor a diverse range of exercises for my multiple needs, and after a few months of attending classes my strength has improved, such that I can do normal activities pain free. The classes are small allowing for a lot of attention through the exercises, so it’s the perfect class for beginners to Pilates. Ian is very supportive and his witty jokes keep me smiling through the core exercises.

Thought I’d give Reformer Pilates a go for just a short while, mainly to improve my overall core strength ~ I’m now hooked and really notice if I miss my weekly practice. Reformer Pilates has helped me to feel generally stronger & leaner, the exercises also continue to help identify all the other areas I still have that would benefit from improvement. Innes keeps his professional eye on each individual throughout your session and is fantastic at spotting & directing your focus to areas in need; he always provides individualised additional challenges as and when you want them too ! The sessions are small, targeted and extremely friendly, the hour sometimes just doesn’t feel long enough ~ not something I’d personally say about many forms of exercise. Highly recommended.

I had considerable back and hip pain and my GP suggested Reformer Pilates. I have been coming here for about 3 months and the pain has virtually gone. I can go for longish walks again and I feel much stronger and better aligned. Innes really knows his stuff and has given me specific exercises for my problems. The sessions are small ensuring enough individual attention from Innes. They’re enjoyable too - friendly and supportive. I would recommend Innes’s classes to anyone with back and/or hip issues.

I have nothing but good words to say about this place. I hadn't been to Pilates before - mainly because I find stretching muscles uncomfortable and unenjoyable, so I was a little nervous to begin with, but I didn't need to worry. Innes (the guy that runs the sessions) has a fountain of knowledge, and keeps the sessions light-hearted, yet informative, and understands your abilities. Innes will work with you, and listen to your feedback, and sets the exercises accordingly. I play a lot of sport, and Pilates is definitely helping to address a lot of the aches and pains I had. Learning more about how the body works is eye-opening, and I've been injury free for some months now. I can highly recommend this place for Pilates, the equipment is from another planet, it's really cutting edge, none of that resistant band stuff, and Innes is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud at least once every session. I actually look forward to doing stretches now, who would have thunk it...

I have been attending Leeds Pilates for a little over a year and it is without a doubt the highlight of my week. Each session I can feel myself progressing and becoming stronger through the bespoke programme that Ian has devised for me. What is lovely about Leeds Pilates Centre is that Ian uses his expert knowledge to ensure that every week is different, either by teaching me a new exercise on either the reformer or the CoreAlign, or by developing an existing technique / exercise. I genuinely leave each session physically and mentally rejuvenated…. and my weakened core is definitely getting there! This is the best exercise that I have ever done… and something that I would wholeheartedly recommended. No word from of a lie in that it has transformed my health and wellbeing.
