WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
ELISSA KONG
'I just completed my Reformer Pilates instructor course through Addicted to Pilates and am so very grateful I had the chance to do so! The course is so well thought and planned in a way that helps you to develop your skills through means of discussion, observation and in person practice. Oli is so supportive and makes it her mission to ensure everyone understands the content and feels confident in what they've learnt.'
JASMIN COOPER
'Oli and the team at Addicted to Pilates are such an incredible group of women - their knowledge, experience, skillset and PASSION are so evident through each and every class. I attend and leave each class with a smile on my face and feeling proud of myself, especially after the teachers have made me feel so accomplished with their positivity and praise. This same experience was reflected throughout their Instructor Reformer Pilates course I have just completed, I have walked away feeling so equipped, confident and ready to teach thanks to Oli's depth of knowledge, thorough teaching, attention to detail and 1:1 support and guidance. I couldn't recommend Addicted to Pilates more - it's the best!'.
