TESTIMONIALS
Hazel (Amersham):
I have had back trouble from the age of 21 when I had a car crash. I have had to go to an Osteopath once a month eversince. Last August 2006 my back gave out totally I couldn’t sit stand or lay down, it was agony. In January 2007 my back went totally again. My Osteopath said if it couldn’t be sorted I would have to have surgery on my back. After a period of treatment he suggested that Pilates would be very beneficial to strengthen my lower back muscles that were now very weak. He gave me Sam’s class details. In March 2007 I enrolled very furtively into Sam’s classes. I haven’t looked back since-the classes are uncrowded, friendly and I received 1 2 1 tuition and all the attention that I needed in the classes being able to work at my own pace, not feeling at all self conscious. The strength and suppleness my Osteopath has seen me gain in my lower back due to Pilates has gone beyond his expectations and mine!! I still have my back problem-that will never go away-I still visit my Osteopath regularly. I now do not need surgery on my lower back which is a great relief. I have also toned up my stomach hip and thigh area I was a size 10/12 and now only due to this exercise I am now a size 8-Bonus!! Thanks Sam for your Patience, knowledge and expertise and for making your classes so enjoyable. I honestly don’t know where I would be without Pilates, its changed my quality of life so much.
Pilates offers so much for everyone-Its turned my life around I had given up ever finding anything that would actually help my problem- I recommend Pilates to anyone.

I foolishly gave up Pilates after a flirtation with it several years ago. A recommendation specifically to Sam from a local osteo meant I restarted classes with her in 2009, when the pain from a debilitating lower back complaint was making life intolerable. Her classes are the best cure for chronic pain I have ... and, as an added benefit, I recently got my thighs into size 10 skinny jeans, a feat never achieved over the course of decades in the gym or on a diet!

B.A .(Amersham July 2007):
After 4 years of Pilates I'm a 'new woman'. No more aches and pains in hips or neck. I'm 60 now and will keep this going as it seems to me to be a recipe for a long and happy life. What's more I enjoy the really happy atmosphere in the class, thanks to Sam's kindness and humour. Do come and join us!

Well, I'm still going to Pilates regularly and I am continuing to get stronger, fitter and slimmer.
Sam is always happy to answer questions and I get a great deal out of any advice given to other class members. As ever the atmosphere is great - very friendly and relaxing
Sandra:
I have been attending Sam's Pilates classes for quite a few years now and gone are the aches and pains I had in my joints when I got up in the morning. Pilates has worked wonders and Sam is so knowledgeable about the body. The sessions are not over-crowded, Sam gives a personal service to everyone and all the classes have such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend her classes!
Iris:
Sam is an excellent teacher with a warm and friendly attitude, her classes are delightful. I really feel that my posture has improved and I am stronger and fitter for my tennis and golf.
Cally: - Little Chalfont:
Believing I was destined for an uncomfortable and unfit future, I decided I had nothing to lose by giving body control pilates 'a go'. That was over three years ago. Now I believe I am in better shape than ever and Pilates has become an important part of my life. Admittedly, I was fortunate to have enrolled with Sam Sidley who ensures the sessions are not only appropriate for all ages, sizes, aches and pains but also are most enjoyable. All I can say is a heartfelt thank you Sam.
