Testimonials

Susan and her team of authentic professionals have my platinum recommendation. In January 2007, Susan enthusiastically and with great care and support became my change facilitator. I came to her with a long history of surgery, cancer and most recently osteoporosis. I had reached the bottom of the well, and finally realised that “I” was responsible for my health and this required taking physical action. My doctor prescribed 4 x 1 hour clinical Pilates sessions per week and to walk 4 x 1 hours per week. Susan worked out a progressive program for me - taking me from a complete newbie to transforming my body and spirit. Pilates and walking have given me back my life – in fact, it has given me a life that I’ve never had. To celebrate this new life – my husband and I are walking the spiritual Camino pilgrimage across the top of Spain (800km) in September 2008. Pilates and walking are the best gifts you can give yourself. The rewards are extraordinary and very real.

My girlish figure is back (its been a while) and I feel a million dollars since joining the "The Body Refinery".

This passion for well bring is infectious, Sarah guides and nurtures the spirit while pushing the body; these personal successes and achievements have a very positive influence on the rest of one's life.

I had to be encouraged to go along to Pilate classes but have not looked back since. There is never a morning that I think "oh no Pilates', I bounce out of bed eager for the exercise. My golf is better, my posture is better, my breathing is better and my sense of well bring is stronger. The Body Refinery is a welcoming, well run establishment staffed by bright expertly trained enthusiasts. Going there is an investment in Current and Future Good Health.

Sarah has been my instructor for four years. We have two sessions together a week. I find them invaluable. Sarah’s skills, creativity and enthusiasm work together to make each session uniquely demanding as well as pleasurable. Sarah has a deep knowledge of Pilates and at the same time crafts each session to maximize its usefulness given my physical requirements. I feel energised and know my entire body has had a complete work-out by the end of our hour together.

Sarah continuously updates her own professional development so is constantly adding new activities to what we do. Each session is challenging and an exploration in maximising my fitness. Her high energy level and commitment compliment her skills. She is a true pleasure to partner with while I build strength and flexibility. It is easy to maintain my motivation when working with Sarah.

Susan and her team of patient, encouraging and highly professional instructors make me feel safe and confident during the exercises and in the use of the equipment.

Of all the exercise regimes I have tried over the years, Pilates has produced the fastest results for strength and toning. I quickly gained flexibility and strength throughout my body which has reflected in my dancing and sporting ability.

Being a client of The Body Refinery is stimulating, beneficial and good fun. A perfect combination. I am happy to have taken the plunge.
