Megan was very welcoming and put us at ease when it was all so new. The whole experience was handled very professionally, both enrolling and the classes.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Pregnancy Pilates Classes at PFIWA. I truly feel that the last 10 weeks of pregnancy would have been a LOT more uncomfortable if it were not for doing those classes regularly. I always noticed my body getting more and more achy in between classes and felt great afterwards. I also think that all the breathing practice helped with pain management during labour : I made it to 8cm by breathing through my contractions, and then only had some intervention because I was prepped for a caesarean that never eventuated. So a big thanks to PFIWA.
And now.... I'm SO keen to get to the postnatal classes.

I wish to thank you for your responsible attitude and generosity. It is a pleasure to be appreciated as a client and to be so well looked after. In my work, I deal with many people who need to improve their posture and strengthen and improve the flexibility of their bodies: as a pilates fan, I always recommend and advise on core strengthening and postural correction. Having recently moved to Perth from Townsville in North Queensland, I am mightily pleased that I not only have found a great studio to continue my own pilates exercise, but also that I know I can comfortably recommend PFIWA to my clients.
Again, thank you.

Hello PFIWA

Just thought I would drop you a quick email to let you know that having recently relocated to Canberra, myself and Rob are really missing our PFI classes!

We have had a look for something similar in Canberra but:
- the style is not as athletic (just like being back in a beginners class); or
- memberships are limited to two classes per week or paying per class both which are incredibly expensive! (Whats the point in going two times a week if Mr Joseph Pilates recommends 3X/week for results that others will notice?).

We think there is a big gap in the market here, so if you were ever keen to expand to the ACT, Rob and I would be the first to sign up!

Anyway, Rob and I just wanted to thank-you for your service say how much we miss coming to your classes. We were experiencing great results at an affordable price.

Had a fantastic time! Feel taller, tauter and a general sense of wellbeing and that just after the four week beginners course! Awesome!

Jennifer Green

I wouldn't change anything! Sam was so professional and friendly. The individual advice and assistance given was great. I came out of the course really well prepared for the normal class situation.

Angie Davidson

Tania's teaching was excellent. her instructions were very clear. She explained things in great detail but in a way that was easy to follow and understand. I thoroughly enjoyed her beginners course and now feel ready to take part in further classes.

Cherie Yugovich

Very happy with the course and the instructor. Explained everything step by step. Tania was very good, could not have asked for better!

Tina Gonclaves

I was very impressed with the whole course - website gave heaps of detail, Misty was excellent and efficient. The Pilates was taught in an easy to understand style and instructor was easily approachable, funny and obviously very good at Pilates.

Allan Billington

I found my recently completed Beginners Technique course was very good and exceeded my expectations. An excellent introduction to Pilates, not too easy and not over the top. I thought the course was well structured with a high standard of presentation. My instructor (Jessica) was, I believe, outstanding in her approach and was energetic with genuine enthusiasm and care! She communicated very well, the technical physiological subject material of Pilates in an easy going manner with a little sense of humour. I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and will certainly be continuing. Cheers!

This course was fantastic! I have always been really fit, until I got very sick 2 years ago and put on lots of weight. I have been trying to get back into the gym, but felt disheartened and unmotivated. These classes have really inspired me and given me hope that I can get my fitness back. Nikki and Phoebe were professional, supportive and so friendly and encouraging. Thank you so much!

Lyn Huggins

My original contact with the front desk was professional and knowledgeable although friendly and efficient. The class level was appropriate because Sam was an excellent teacher. She ensured that we were all able to do the movements. Her instructions were clear, loud enough and with a sense of humour. She remembered our names quickly and I always felt she was aware of us as individuals with different strengths and weaknesses. I gained the impression from everyone that the classes and whole organisation were well organised and structured with plenty of support. Our particular class worked so well because of Sam's knowledge and personality!

Sharon Griffiths

Just wanted to compliment the PFIWA for the fantastic staff they employ. Every member of your team that I have had contact with have been friendly, efficient, helpful and fantastic providers of everything customer service demands. Thankyou for treating me like a valued customer. Also thanks to Tania for providing a great class atmosphere and the visualisation techniques used to help the mind connect with the body. The way Tania articulates the verbal instruction to an exercise with the physical demonstration is fantastic and motivational. Thanks again for a great experience.

Louise Sweeney

Enrolment and information was easy to achieve. As a total novice, Nikki explained the activities clearly and was very patient. I am very satisfied with the course, it was money well spent and I am joining a 12 month membership. I had the ability to push myself without re-injuring my knee.

Louise Kerr

Suzi was a great instructor, she made everyone feel very comfortable and relaxed. I didn't think I would be any good at Pilates, being a bit overweight and not very flexible or coordinated, but that has changed thanks to you! After the four weeks of the beginners course, I can already begin to see and feel the changes. I was not into 'exercise' but I think with Pilates I have finally found my thing!

Heidi Tudehope

I am truly surprised at how wonderful I found the classes and how much I have advanced already (though I still have a long way to go!). Leonie was a brilliant instructor - her demonstrations were inspirational. I especially appreciated her description of each exercise and the imagery she used to help us achieve correct technique. Love, love, loved it!!

I thought Frances was a wonderful instructor giving lots of background information about the exercises, how to execute them and the effect they would have on our bodies. Frances' lovely personality was an additional extra, much appreciated! All staff were extremely pleasant and helpful at all times. Thanks for the course, its been a great experience.

Natasha Galic

Suzi was always cheerful and patient. I particularly took comfort knowing that she spent one on one time with me and took into account my injuries and always provided me with modifications if I felt pain.The course was great, very informative & Suzi ensured that we were all doing it right. She's an excellent instructor. I've done Pilates before and she's the best instructor I've had so far.

Ray & Dena Shaw

Thankyou for introducing us to the wonderful world of the Pilates Fitness Institute. In the five years we have been practicing Pilates, I [Dena] have seen my body shape change from a flabby size 12 to a trim and strong size 10 and my husband (looking great for 60+!) has maintained his body weight and improved his flexibility. Ray and I have found Pilates is a wonderful way for us to share the enjoyment of exercising together. We see pilates as a life-long activity and will continue to enjoy the physical challenges.

Melody Wilcox

Our instructor (Tania) was fabulous... inspiring, approachable and explained everything in an understandable manner. Thanks! I've really enjoyed the course!

I really appreciated the flexibility to change between day classes and night classes due to the commitments with the children.
