Your classes have got me back into enjoying exercise. Something I thought I would never say after x amount of years avoiding it!!

Thank you xx

– Liz

I absolutely love your workouts! Never thought I would be saying that at 59!

I used to find exercising a chore but I’m loving it even though the plank one was tough.

– Elaine

I’ve now finished the fantastic Wednesday workouts, I’m so excited to have just signed up to start the weekly workouts with you!

I really wish I’d found you at the start of lockdown, you could have helped my stress levels and weight gain I’m sure!! …. anyway as they say better late than never!! I can’t wait to get started!!

– Zo

I started doing your workouts during lock down and then joined the Club. They have given me purpose during a strange time and I appreciate how good your teaching is ( I am a physio).

Keep up the good work Jo – you are doing an excellent job

– Bridget

Really appreciated this hip mobility class – very helpful teaching and stretches which will have long term benefits. Didn’t mind less movement today as I’ve been repeating the circuits from Monday (wow!) and it is nice that you do varied classes and we learn from you.

Your class today put a smile on my face on a grey rainy day! Take care and stay safe xx

– Yvonne

I’ve had so many aches, pains and stiffness developing over the years which are now getting better.

I have also had a few compliments from people saying I look trimmer which is amazing.

I find you very endearing and easy to connect with which makes the workouts all the more enjoyable. So a massive thank you!

– Sharon

That was a tough one but I loved it.

I was concentrating so hard I nearly missed our shout out! I thought, I’m sure Jo just mentioned our names, had to rewind and there it was. What a surprise!

You being so personable makes every minute enjoyable. Thank you so much x

– Jo

I’ve got into your classes so much, my husband has even had to build me my own shed gym to give me space to do them properly – yay!!!

– Helen

Well Jo you have made me stronger!

This is the first time I have done the “Circle of Fire” and managed to do nearly all of it, even using the ring on my inner thighs.

Never been able to do that before. Thank you.

– Christine

Thanks so much for that Jo! I slipped a disk a few years back and being an ex-gymnast – crikey! – you really opened my eyes as to how I stand on a daily basis – I’m so arched its unbelieveable.

It’s hard work holding yourself properly – it aches  – but I’m going to keep going thanks again real eye opener xx

– Sarah

Signed up last week, your personality and professionalism were  the key drivers having done other classes online during lockdown.

Enjoyed the classes so far and usually do them before Joe Wicks so double Jo/Joe workouts!

Keep up the good work,

– Caroline x

Ive been a member now for about 8 weeks, I’ve never really enjoyed any forms of exercise but I’m really enjoying your classes. – I think I’m getting addicted!

I try to do at least 3 hours a week. You really make the classes fun & enjoyable & I’ve recommended you to all my friends.

– Kathy

I heard about you from This Morning with Philip and Holly and thought it would be a good idea to join.

I’m 23 and have a bad back and shoulders and I’m more comfortable exercising in my own home than the gym so was excited to give this a go!

I’m really enjoying the exercises already and look forward to the months to come.

– Emma

Today was my first time doing your pilates class. I used to workout a lot after I had my first child, but I would struggle with what to do and I wouldn’t feel as if I worked my body hard enough. Now I’ve joined your Workout Club, it’s a game changer!

I have already recommended you to everyone I know!

– Chloe

Can I just say I’m loving your workouts!

I get up earlier every day (except weekends!) to do your classes. Brilliant!

– Sue

Honestly, the best trainer ever!

Three weeks in and I feel amazing, my body feels firmer, I feel happier, more confident and healthier, I absolutely love it!

– Zoe

I absolutely love doing the videos with you.  You’re a calming and much needed part of my busy life.

Working in an early years school setting I really look forward to stretching out my body and freeing my mind.

I love the way you make each video positive and achievable, no yelling and “you must work harder comments” as I have experienced in so many gym classes!

I’m enjoying strengthening my core, as I am very weak in that area and this can cause some back ache. I’m excited and very much looking forward to the variety of exercises that are coming in your new videos.

– Mariangela

These workouts make me feel like Jo is in my living room with me – which I love – as I find her to be such an inspiring and positive influence.

I am not a self-motivator but find these short, punchy sessions fit well into my busy life as a mother of 3 – just enough time to get a great workout without feeling guilty about taking too much time out for myself.

I am loving the variety of a new session each week, which I am sure will encourage me to do more. Plus who wouldn’t want a body like Jo’s!

– Lucy

I absolutely love the courses & do one of the workouts at least 4 times a week.

I love the variety & different levels, I choose the workout that fits how I’m feeling on that particular day. I usually finish with Serenity Stretch or the Release & Relax.

Thank you for all the brilliant workouts so far.

– Lynda

I absolutely love your sessions and the way you teach them.

I am so looking forward to a different class each week, as I feel that a new class each week will give me the extra incentive to keep going as I won’t get bored doing the same thing. Really excited!

– Sue

Jo comes across as someone who really does care, knows exactly what she is doing and she makes me giggle mid exercise by saying things I am thinking.

It’s like exercising with a friend.

Very down to earth. Very straight forward and well explained programmes so a newby like me knows exactly where she should be feeling it. I have to say my arms and tummy never better.

Thanks so much Jo!

– Gill

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for your Weekly Workouts.

I’ve been living in Germany for the past 18 months and have been struggling a bit.

Your workouts are PERFECT and I’ve even talked my husband into joining me too. You’ve made a huge difference to my day here.

– Kay

I had saved one of the new classes to do this morning and was merrily working away with you when I nearly fell off my mat in astonishment at the sound of my name!

I was just so touched, and then I had to stop the video and rewind to make sure I hadn’t been dreaming, and then I had to wake my husband to show him, and then I had to rewind and film that bit to send a video to the children to show them I was actually very famous and important.

It is very lovely to have two new classes every week, it’s motivating, it keeps it all fresh and it’s exciting to see what will be in it.  I still love the other classes and will do those in between.

I hope your regular class folk know how lucky they are! I’m sure they do…!

– Camilla

You create inspiration by constantly varying the content and have the imagination to bring interesting and new thoughts time and time again making it fun and a healthy way to fitness.

Thank you Jo!

– Paul

Jo is an extraordinary person … she exudes positivity and calm, she is only ever encouraging, she is fun loving and has a wicked sense of humour;  she is someone who makes you feel good about yourself even when everything else around you might feel like its going south;  she is a breath of fresh air.

Her classes are totally brilliant – no two classes are ever the same – her dedication to her work is immeasurable – she puts her everything into her classes;  the choreography is superb (just wish we could all look like Jo when we’re doing these exercises).

She is a total inspiration.

– Lisa

I have been meaning to do Week 2 November all day and have only just got round to it. I was worried it would be too much after having my first ever acupuncture treatment today (a desperate attempt to help migraines) but it was perfect stretch and relax.

Couldn’t have been a better session from you. Looking forward to a bit more exertion next week though. Thanks Jo. You are such a fab person. Lucky lucky people who have you for their actual live weekly classes!

– Claire

Jo is an excellent teacher. She is  always  happy,  kind and cheerful, and encourages me to improve with  fun and ingenuity.

Every  class  is different, never the same, and  keeps our bodies guessing!

She has the ability to bring the benefits of pilates to everyone of all ages and abilities, with care and consideration for all our many disabilities.

We are all very lucky to have Jo as our teacher, it helps keep us healthy and young at heart. Thank you!

– Dave

Every class with Jo is a trip into the unmapped territory of one’s inner and outer self. I never fail to return from this exploratory trip, renewed, reshaped and recharged

I love it!

– Danielle

You make us laugh and something that is important for all of us to do, you are comfortable enough to laugh at yourself, you are very human which is so relaxing.

I love the fact that you mix up your left and right as this is the main stumbling block for me when I’m doing boxing training, which can result in unfortunate outcomes and quite a lot of hilarity.

I love your sense of humour.

– Lizzie

Your sheer joy of doing the job whilst understanding people’s personal needs, wobbles (mental and physical!!), your empathy, compassion and great skills all shine through and make one want to join in with you and be in the room.

I really enjoy your analogies.  Not only do they make me laugh but I can see exactly what you are trying to say – yes, I can be “a flamingo on one leg pointing my long neck and beak to the sky”, got it!

You join in and don’t just stand on the sidelines and dictate, you show us, and you are human enough(!) to be tired with us.  Why wouldn’t you come back when you are constantly made to feel your are achieving?

Quite frankly I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I’ve experienced good and bad teachers/lecturers/team leaders and, in my opinion, those that have the extra something are the ones that you remember and want to emulate. You’ve nailed it!

Thank you.

– Gilly

Thanks to Jo, exercise has become an (almost!) daily habit. I’m going into my later 60s with confidence that Pilates will help keep me physically and mentally strong.

Over the years I’ve have tried the gym, yoga, running and swimming to stay fit. Pilates with Jo is the only thing I’ve ever stuck at for all the above reasons.

– Andi

Your instructions and demonstrations are precise, and you communicate clearly.

You are descriptive about how the body works, and which parts of the anatomy are affected by each exercise.

You have a great sense of humour.

You always provide variation in your classes which are carefully planned out, and as a result  all areas of the body are worked on.

Most importantly you are a lovely person who is totally enthused by her profession.

– John

It would be easy to continually recycle what you teach but your classes are always fresh and varied. We never know what to expect.  I know this must involve a lot of work behind the scenes but it is appreciated. You must spend a lot of time choreographing which hasn’t passed me by.

Your classes have transformed me and I can never thank you enough for that.

– Shelagh

Miss your live classes, but in some ways these are even better, you can fit them in at a time that’s right for you.

– Elizabeth

Great job Jo – so clear and personable, along with your usual sense of humour!

– John

Thank you for the brilliant weekly workouts, I’m loving the new challenges (some more than others lol!!!)

– Lynda

I am absolutely loving all the new workouts! Being able to work on different areas or tagging two classes together is great.Thank you!

– Debra

I used to go to Pilates classes at the gym with various instructors who I thought at the time were good … however you knock spots off of all of them!

I religiously do your work outs, doing different ones, depending on how I feel and what kind of day I’ve had at work and I get quite grumpy if I miss a day!

I love all of them and have definitely noticed a difference in my shape including my bye bye arms lol … keep your workouts coming – love them!

– Nancy

I’m now 58 & in the best shape I’ve been in for years, mostly thanks to you! I love all the workouts & do them every day.

This year you’ve joined me in Tenerife, Portugal & Toulouse, & you will definitely be joining me on our UAE cruise over new year….that’s the beauty of the Club, you can do it anywhere even in a cabin ?

Thank you again for the brilliant workouts this past year, I’m looking forward to all the ones coming in 2020.

– Lynda

Your back to basics session really helped and has made me more involved… particularly the half roll down. I’m not there yet with that move, but I’ll keep trying!

– Abigail

I started your workouts three days ago and am absolutely loving them!

Thank you so much!

– Zoe

Jo’s online sessions are amazing …

I haven’t had to take any pain killers for my very troublesome arthritic back since I’ve been doing them which is over 9 months! 😊

– Gail

Having completed 2 of your classes yesterday and stretching this morning I feel much better already.

Please send Jo my thanks, as her calming voice and approach in her classes allow you to really focus and enjoy!

– Clayton

Love January week 3 and the hoop of hell! Thank you Jo.

It’s been a bit of a difficult week and I feel a great sense of achievement now.

– Nikki

I started your workouts six days ago and am absolutely loving them!

– Angela

I love the club so much that I actually do 1 hour sessions at least 4 days a week …  If I don’t, I miss you!

Your sessions really help me mentally and physically.

Many many thanks for your amazing work

– Maria

I love the pillow case work out, Jo!

You are right, it was like bad medicine. The burn I felt on my glutes and the outside of my hips was perfect. Especially with running, I know I need to keep that strong for stabilization, as you said.

Thanks for the great workouts!

– Kristen
