Thank you to all of our amazing clients who have been incredibly supportive so far - you’ve helped me keep going through the fatigue & emotional rollercoaster I’ve been on & I’m incredibly grateful for each & every one of you! 🫶🏻

✨SPECIAL CLIENT SHOUTOUT✨

Meet Molly.

Molly started doing weekly 1-1 Pilates with me in July this year.

She felt under confident & had low self esteem after putting on weight.

From the get go, we had open & honest conversations around food, lifestyle, external influences & learning to focus on what your body CAN do, rather than what it looks like.

This has always remained the focus of our sessions.

What CAN we do this week?

Safely, progressively overload the body each week.

Achieve one more rep than the week before.

& CELEBRATE those wins!

This has, in turn, helped Molly to view her body in a different way (her words, not mine - see her review in picture 5).

Molly now focuses on what her body CAN do for her & how GREAT she feels when she achieves new movements or increased reps / time in hold during our Pilates sessions.

… & as a result she has made positive lifestyle changes & lost an amazing 2 stone since October!!

Pilates, in isolation, won’t help you lose weight. But by challenging your body, feeling that endorphin rush & opening up to someone who can help keep you accountable, in a safe space, it can kick start small healthier habits that WILL change your life.

Well done - I am endlessly proud of you.

Here’s to going in to 2025, happier & healthier than you’ve felt in years ✨

It’s official! I will be graduating from Cardiff University with a First Class Honour degree in Physiotherapy.

This feels incredibly surreal.

I went back to university just before I turned 30, after a horrific car accident changed my life forever.

I was determined to be the light in other people’s lives, that my Physiotherapists were for me, as I learnt to walk again.

I have literally worked my a**e off & honestly, I couldn’t be more proud of everything I’ve achieved in the last 4 years:

- Level 2 diploma in Gym Instructing
- Level 3 diploma in Personal Training
- Level 4 diploma in Sports Massage Therapy
- Dynamic Reformer Pilates Instructor
- A first class honour degree in Physiotherapy

Oh, & I set up half way through my degree too!!

What a 4 years!!

Here’s to the next 4, hey? 💫

Please read this if you’re considering going to reformer Pilates classes with more than 6 reformer beds.

This article was published in over the weekend & I THANK THE LORD it was, as over the last few months, I have been feeling more & more unsettled by what I have been hearing & seeing online when it comes to reformer Pilates.

Over the last few months I’ve been watching the popularity of reformer Pilates soar.

I’ve also been watching some absolutely ludicrous movements being performed on the reformer, by various online accounts, including more than one person using the same reformer at the same time & the reformer being used as a piece of cardio equipment.

Reformer Pilates is supposed to be slow, controlled, mindful movement.

That is how it works.

That is why it works.

Those who have followed me for a while have seen the content I upload. This is how reformer Pilates is supposed to be performed.

Carefully & with control.

This is NOT me bashing the industry, this is merely me raising concern for the health & safety of the public & the apparent lack of duty of care some gyms & “Pilates” studios seem to have over their clients & users.

PLEASE read this & share it…

… & next time you think about giving it a go, spend some time looking in to the type of studio you’re going to & please check the credentials of the instructor or trainer.

At Physical Finesse WE CARE about you & your health, which is why all of our sessions are Physiotherapist led & on a 1:1 basis.

Sports massage case study & testimonial ⬇️

➡️ Find yourself a therapist that listens to YOUR problems & concerns & seeks to resolve them, not a therapist with their OWN agenda.

Sadly, I hear first hand from clients about previous therapists who have not really listened, not assessed the client effectively, and therefore not actually resolved the presenting complaint…

… leaving the client financially worse off & physically no better off!

⭐️ Sports massage is available from our Barry studio ⭐️

🔥 We also offer MOBILE sports massage, depending on location 🔥

A regular client during her 20th session, proving that age is really just a number!

This incredible client is 71 years old and is by far my most active client attending gym classes, pilates or swimming lessons 5 days a week.

…and it really pays off! She’s the fittest she’s ever been & continues to achieve great things during our sessions.

Proud of you .cooper12 - you’re an inspiration to so many! ✨

✨ Just look at these results! ✨

I took these photos for the client pictured, to show her how her hamstring flexibility would progress in a short space of time, doing Reformer Pilates with me - & I am so glad I did!

These photos were taken on:
- 10th June (clients first session)
- 17th June (clients second session)
- 24th June (clients third session)

Reformer Pilates is a unique blend of strengthening & stretching that creates the perfect environment for your body to become more flexible while also becoming stronger.
