Feefo Customer Reviews

Laura is a fantastic teacher, always full of enthusiasm and positivity, I feel energised after her classes. Great service and easy to use.

Extremely good and easy to use. Easy to use, I would certainly use again and recommend to others.

A great class from Sara,always a bit different, with challenges and excellent releases. Yes good service, easy to use, clear, no problems. I will book again x

An easy process to use although I object to the charges as there are no alternatives. It makes the classes expensive . The service provider should bear the cost Easy to use and I like the reminders

After retirement, I decided I needed to fill my time. Exercise was never a priority for me until I retired and now five years on, I never want to stop. This is thanks to Emily Pollington who is a great teacher, she puts together brilliant classes the benefit of which is unbelievable as I have more energy and flexibility now that I have ever had before. I now consider Emily a close friend and everybody who is in our group which has basically remained the same over my last 5 years of classes. Long may it continue, thank you Emily! Easy to book further classes, reliable reminders twice on day of class. No problems encountered with Near You.

I've now been along to the pilates lessons with Denise three times. I really enjoy the lessons, find the instructions really helpful and direct. Thanks Denise!

Anne Marie is a super instructor with a lovely personality and fun. Her classes are challenging but she is aware of our differing struggles or conditions and will modify exercises to suit each personal need. She is very knowledgeable in how our bodies work.( or may not work)As a Pilates she is hard to beat! Very easy & quick to use site. Very easy & quick to enter my zoom Pilates class via Near you. Onbthe day they send a reminder that my class is starting too, which is great.!

Davina is a great Pilates teacher. Would definitely recommend her classes Very easy to use.

Anne Maree is a fabulous teacher, giving different levels of challenge for all the exercises, depending on your capability. Very easy to book and pay, and it"s great to get a reminder before the class. A n excellent service

Good value for money... :-) The Pilates teacher is very knowledgeable and the use of weights is a welcome addition.

i have had to take a break it takes 40 minutes to set up and complicated

Gives you ease of mind that you have classes in the bank should you not need to use them all in one go. Great site and easy to use! The reminders are also good in ensuring you have all the correct information to hand. Would highly recommend!

Brilliant classes - professional, friendly delivery and classes are varied and challenging. Look forward to the sessions every week from the comfort of my own home! Excellent service - simple to book, reminders sent out and brilliant class!

Good class. Challenging for all levels A fantastic Pilates class for all levels. Really enjoyed it.

I was an excellent offer and fully satisfied Extremely happy with my experience with Near You and woul d recommend them to others.

I have been attending Davina’s Pilates classes for many years and they are really good. Davina is very good at explaining the exercises and is currently doing them online just as well. Easy to sign up for a class.

Varied and very well delivered Pilates classes from a very experienced instructor who constantly develops her own knowledge and delivers new exercises and routines. 50 minutes is the perfect length and you can work at your own level. Having the classes on Zoom has been brilliant. For the standard booking of classes the App works well but there is not facility to postpone a booked class with plenty of notice and yesterday, the day my pass was due to expire, it wouldn’t let me book a class on that date even though I had one out of my five classes left to take. Not very user friendly when you want to communicate and sort these issues out.

Just the right amount of money and forward planning to be practicable. Emily always sensitive to the individual's circumstances and explains alternative ways to incorporate Pilates moves where applicable.

All ways easy to book a class. My new favourite Pilates class. Will definitely be attending more often.

These are excellent classes. The exercises vary from class to class, so if you are doing several classes a week or a month, you do not get bored and always learn something. An improvement could be made to the booking procedure to enable customers to book multiple days of the week in a single operation. The customer-service person was very good.

Such a great class! Excellent instruction - easy to follow and a good range of exercises. Muscles felt well worked afterwards with plenty of stretches. Would definitely recommend Straightforward booking

Very good instructor, been going for more than 6 years Website very easy to use

Jill teaches with enthusiasm and precision - her classes are outstanding. She keeps our attention with variety and challenges. Absolutely love have her as a teacher. Efficiently gives help when needed. Timely class reminder emails sent.

Wonderful. Love it. Excellent work out. Yes. Wonderful

Great class. Emily is always helpful & very attentive. Very good. Clear & easy to use

Problem resolved satisfactorily I couldn’t purchase a pass for the classes that I have been attending for some months and which should be still available with a monthly pass which provides a saving over 5 classes. . When I tried to renew my pass it said there were none available. Very frustrating so had to pay for single class at a higher price.

Very good value and I feel great after my Class. Great exercise routine form Jill. The hour goes so quickly and I love having the different levels, provided by the instructor. The demonstrations and verbal instructions are always brilliant and easy to follow.

Excellent class - would highly recommend Service was easy to use and very efficient.

Easy, quick, user friendly and minimum details needed to book and no need for password. Friendly, inspirationable and knowledgeable. She keeps us going and it really works!

Jill’s classes are highly motivating, strengthening and varied. I’m far healthier as a result of attending her classes on a regular basis I do find the frequency of requests for reviews annoying. I’m a regular customer and my opinion is consistent!

This is a very affordable price for an excellent class Easy to use, to search classes, pay for and book them

Meets all my expectations. Sally is a great Pilates teacher. I’m a beginner and she has made me very welcome and I’ve quickly gained confidence in my abilities. Really enjoying the sessions

Really good purchase, as usual Great session. Really enjoyed it

Jill is a brilliant teacher who does all the exercises with the class and talks us through the breathing. There is always a wide variety of stretches too. Booking is easy and I like the reminder on the day.

Great to book a block and save in booking fees. Easy to book classes and it’s great to have a reminder when the class is happening and when you need to rebook.

This is a brilliant Class, taught by a brilliant teacher. Everything is explained in detail and reasons given as to why and what muscles, joints are benefitting. Couldn't ask more of a teacher. There was a mix up with my booking, but Near You did all they could to resolve the situation. Sent me a further link, after checking that nothing had transpired from the first link. Unfortunately I did miss that Class due to lateness. Just one of those things. Near You could not have done more to help.

Very easy booking system. Easy to connect to Zoom classes too. Jill is an excellent teacher, very thorough & knowledgeable. Highly recommend this teacher. Jill Thornton is a very thorough & knowledgeable Pilates teacher. She is enthusiastic and explains everything very clearly. Highly recommend this teacher...and her method of teaching.

easy to purchase Rosy's pilates classes :-) I would highly recommend Rosy as a Pilates instructor. I've only ever had another online instructor and i've found Rosy to be exceptional!

I am looking forward to attending more classes. The work space felt clean and safe and the instructor was friendly, giving clear instructions for a varied programme of movements.

Good process throughout . Very efficient Thorough instructions

Jill’s classes are always varied. She is currently teaching Chinese exercises which give a wonderful “buzz”. Each class is very well constructed to give an excellent workout. The website has improved since the start though I still don’t feel at ease using it

Absolutely. After 12 days of not being able to attend we did some wonderful exercises so in the last 2 days. Special exercises yesterday. Jill mentioned that we would sleep soundly and Hey Presto absolutely true I was full of energy for today. Amazing Class I have not been able to access pilates for nearly 2 weeks and thanks to Steve he gave me advice on what the problem could be. He was correct and my family helped me put it in place. My first Pilates lesson with Jill after. 12 days of not being able to join was brilliant. Great class and as she forecast I slept so soundly.

I like that there are new exercises/challenges set every week so that is no chance of getting board. Great knowledge and expertise! Very efficient and easy to use!

Love love love it ❤️ Pilates Aim Easiest way to book with my favourite instructor at Pilates Aim

Quick, easy & efficient. Would recommend. Excellent service. Quick, easy and efficient. Would recommend.

Brilliant class and superb instructor. Totally COVID proof at this time. Not clear, long winded and I really don't want to use it again, but will have to book the classes I want!

Amazing, personalised zoom mat sessions of a faultless professional level. Great attention to detail & the needs of each client. An excellent service. Very easy to access & use.

Well worth it. Would reccommend Great online class with very precise instructions. Nice, friendly teacher.

Jill Thornton's Pilates online live class 18:00 each Thursday is both relaxing and your tummy muscles certainly kick in the next morning! Just what I need when I get home from work. Thanks Jill. It does what it says it will.

Good value for money, if you don't mind the instructor talking at speed, like she had somewhere else to be. The instructor spoke far to fast. And either sat with crossed legs or out of shoot. I understand that there was a live class in progress, but I was still difficult to keep up.

The classes are well lead and the instructions are precise and clear. You guided through each exercise. The class is well lead and the instructions for the excer

Jill is a brilliant teacher of Pilates - Body In Control Pilates, which is hugely different to some. She has a fantastic knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology and explains what muscles and joints are being worked in every different exercise. She even keeps us aware of breathing techniques all the way through. I would highly recommend her Classes. I've been going to Jill for something like 18 years. There's a recommendation in itself! Very easy to log into the page I wanted. Two reminders with links - most useful and reassuring. Smooth all the way.

Very good value for money Easy to use and would recommend

Beautiful studio - great instructors Beautiful studio - great instructors

Still excited to join every week. Have been exercising with Laura for over a year now and always excited about the next class.

Would recommend these classes to everyone! Book today you won’t regret it! Brilliant classes. Absolutely love them. So varied and caters for all abilities. I can’t believe how much stringer and bendier I am!

As always an interesting variety of work outs Jill Thornton is undoubtedly one of the very best Pilates teachers in this area Speedy simple and reliable

Excellent value for money, interesting high quality instruction geared for both the young and elderly ( like myself) Excellent nearby organisation and excellent classes by Sara Pugh

Quick and easy to use and book through First time I used Pilates Near You looking for an online teacher due to work commitments. Excellent service and class. The response time was quick to confirm the class and got asked about injuries prior to the class. Tuba gave clear instructions about what to do, how to execute the movement correctly, modified the exercises to accommodate my back problem and explained common mistakes to look for. Enjoyable and informative class, which made me understand how my bad postural habits contribute to my back problem.

Great Pilates lesson with Jill. She is an excellent instructor with brilliant verbal instructions and demonstrations of the execution of the moves. Her care for all her clients shines through her lessons from beginning to end. I love her style and thoroughness. After my lesson with Jill I feel so energised. Yes excellent Service and easy to follow.

Varied and fun classes, each one is different. Jill is very experienced and knowledgeable and we always learn a lot in her classes. As long as you know the basics, you can work at your own level and Jill’s very good description of each exercise and how it should feel means that you are not missing out anything by using the Zoom platform. Excellent class and easy to book on line, the classes are varied and suitable for all but a total beginner. You can work at your own rate and there’s always something new to learn. Jill is a very experienced and knowledgeable teacher and we always get a lot out of her classes k

I think the offer is very good value. Sara is an excellent Pilates instructor and always gives clear instructions for each exercise. The class is always enjoyable.

I like the reminder on the day. Jill is a wonderful teacher. She does all the exercises with you and tells you how to breathe properly and caters for all abilities. Her classes are varied and she always has time to answer questions at the end.

The Classes are tailored to suit every age and ability. Excellent instruction, even to the point of correct breathing. I hope they will continue after the summer break. Yes. Excellent service, and wonderful Pilates.

Brilliant workout. The exercises were an extensive range that really toned every part of my body. Excellent class with a Brilliant range for exercises. This instructor is worth her weight in Gold.

Jill is wonderful - she teaches with enthusiasm and variety - always gives 100% effort Classes are a fun way to health. Very good!

Excellent teacher always giving clear instructions and useful information about how the exercises help particular parts of the body. In addition always indicates the right time to breathe correctly. Easy to use, good to have reminders of classes booked, excellent Pilates teacher.

Excellent all round always with clear instructions for the exercises and variety too. Easy to use, good to have reminders of classes booked, excellent Pilates teacher.

Jill Thornton’s classes are well structured, based on her extensive knowledge of Pilates. She is always ready to adapt if anyone has any specific difficulties such as painful knees or shoulders. As far as NearYou is concerned, it should be much easier to select classes and timings. The whole process feels very clunky and it’s difficult to correct errors

Good and easy to use and the reminders are very helpful Excellent teacher, with very clear instructions as to what to do and explanations about the value of particular exercises for different parts of the body.

Jill's classes are very enjoyable and are as challenging as you want to make them. I would thoroughly recommend. great service
