After I attended my first Pilates Mat class with Esprit I knew that I had found my ‘forever’ exercise. I was over the gym and was looking for something different …. This was it ! I was hooked and I especially loved that Melissa was always checking my form … Gently correcting and perfecting every movement ….. I feel amazing after each class and know I can take my Pilates workout into my 50’s 60’s 70’s and beyond ….. I absolutely love it and highly recommend Melissa , she is an amazing Pilates teacher and mentor.

What can I say Mel is fantastic! I found her mat classes a few years ago when looking for a form of exercise to help get my body moving gently & to strengthen the core to help with neck & back problems. Not only does Mel know her stuff her lovely spirit makes class all the more enjoyable!

I don’t know what I would do without Mel and her fantastic team! My job can be very (unpredictability) physical and I often land many injuries. As a result of this I recently had to have another knee surgery. I was originally told I would be off work for 5-8 weeks and would have to slowly transition from there. Amazing the difference having prehab and good muscle tone has made with this surgery compared to my last one! I was moving so well they let me walk out of the hospital! Much to all the doctors surprise I was back at work in the office 2 1/2 weeks later and back on class on full duties 5 weeks after surgery due to my ‘great muscle tone and control’ in my leg. This is all thanks to Pilates and now even my physio is recommending Esprit Pilates to his other clients. Thank you for all the time and individual programming. It’s this care and love of what you do that makes all the difference.

Mel’s classes are medicinal! After regular running caused regular back problems my Chiro recommended Pilates. I was cautious initially however with Mel’s support and hands on guidance I soon found a more appropriate all round exercise. I’m hooked and feel fabulous after every class. Love your work Mel!

I love stretching out after work during a Mat class and strengthening my muscles and core to endure another week at work Mel, you are amazing!

I started about 18 months ago… I have been a sports person all my life and now at 59 I have bad knees stiff hips, back and neck and lots of arthritis and could not even cross my legs. Now since I have been going I can cross my legs I can do garhammers at the gym and my core is so much better I find I have improved all aspects of my joint movement. The teachers are great – thoughtful, caring and work hard. I have no worries in recommending any of the classes as I know how much it helps in every day life just to move around free and I know it is because of the classes I do at Esprit Pilates.

Esprit Pilates classes are excellent catering to all levels of fitness and experience. I must also comment on Nicole the trainer she is patient experienced and very good humoured.

I started Pilates around 8 months ago and I absolutely love it. People have noticed how much I have toned up. Every week the classes are different. Instructors are friendly and helpful and I have noticed how much stronger I am. Thanks Mel and the team at Esprit.

Started here not knowing what I was doing at all, but the amazing girls here are so full of knowledge and very accommodating (especially for complete beginners like me!). I’m already noticing a reduction in aches and pains, and a very needed improvement in my posture. I highly recommend Mel and the team to anyone
