What our Clients say…
I have attended both Clinical Pilates and mat classes for 25 years in both Australia and the UK. However, despite some benefits, it was not until I started with Andrea that my body really ‘got’ Pilates. Andrea’s expertise and attention to detail are exceptional. She can spot the tensing of an errant muscle through the back of her head and thus is able to tailor every movement to each individual client. Andrea ensures that she is up to date with new training and techniques and is quick to put into practice those that are beneficial to her clients. Her unique blend of wit and good humor makes her classes a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Her flexibility, professionalism, and skill make them essential to my health and wellbeing.

I have been doing Pilates for approximately 10 years, mainly to help with my back pain and flexibility. Four years ago, I joined Andrea’s classes at The Pilates Studio Whitstable and immediately found the method that she uses to be very different from anything that I had done before. The exercises ‘reach the parts others didn’t’. Andrea’s classes that I attend are challenging, very stimulating, and fun, and small enough for Andrea to take into account each individual’s needs. I now have more flexibility, structure, and strength, and a much deeper awareness of my body. As a result, I am progressively fitter, more active, and virtually pain-free.
I regularly attend the Improvers class and the Ball class and have also attended some Equipment classes which are amazing.

Andrea is a professional, enthusiastic, and engaging teacher. Her classes are inventive and challenging but always fun.
Ann
I’m an older participant in one of Andrea’s Pilates classes and hadn’t been to any type of exercise class for about 15 years, so I was apprehensive about starting. However, Andrea dispelled my anxiety immediately. She is so clear when explaining and showing us the different movements and doesn’t make me feel stupid if I haven’t got the positions quite right. I have really felt the benefits since joining her class and definitely hope to continue improving with Andrea’s help.
Hilary
Andrea is a very experienced and knowledgeable Pilates teacher. She not only manages the class but also watches the attendees individually and offers assistance if required. I don’t know how she manages it! We all enjoy the classes immensely.
Linda
Andrea is a knowledgeable, approachable Pilates instructor. I attend one of her beginner Pilates classes, and she adds a personal touch to her classes. She remembers everyone’s name, and although it is a group class, she remembers each individual’s needs. Her instructions are clear, and each class continues with a theme, but the exercises are varied, which holds the class's interest.
Stephanie Garwood
I started Pilates with Andrea nearly two years ago following two episodes of surgery on my foot. I had an issue with my balance and my physiotherapist suggested Pilates, which I had never tried before. My balance has improved, and I can achieve much more with my body since I first started, and that's all down to Andrea. She’s very aware of everyone’s different needs within the group. She doesn’t push you, but she does encourage you. Andrea demonstrates the movements and then watches everyone individually. She’s very knowledgeable about the body’s structure and a great teacher. Most importantly, she makes the classes enjoyable.
Lynda Leach
I have attended classes held by Andrea for over a year now and think that she is excellent. She knows what each and every one of us can do and really checks that we are doing the exercises in the correct way. Andrea always makes sure that we work hard during the sessions but also lets us have fun while doing it.
