HERO OF THE MONTH
SONJA JENKINS
How has Pilates changed your everyday life?
Pilates has made an impact in that it has made me re- aware of my body and stretched me to do exercise that otherwise I would not bother.
When did you first start Pilates and how many times a week do you do it?
I first started 3 years ago and because I am still working I always go to class once a week and then when possible I do another class.
What class(es) do you do?
I do a Barre and Mat class
Why did you decide to do Pilates?
I decided I had to be more active and had taken some Pilates classes years ago. I read a few articles and realised this would be a good way to easy myself back into exercise … I have tried going to a gym but didn’t enjoy the experience.

Why did you choose to come to Sandrine’s Pilates?
By recommendations, and intrigue as I was passing the studio most days going into Tunbridge Wells, the advertising was very powerful to go and investigate what was going on.
What is the main improvement you have experienced in your everyday life?
I am a different shape, weight loss and a stronger core, which means I never suffer from back problems.
How would you describe the studio and the teaching?
t is very friendly and accessible,everyone goes out of their way to make sure your needs are met and you are happy. If one is tech savvy then the process of booking classes would be so easy, that having been said Brendon is always there to guide one. It has also introduced me to a lot of lovely new people who are now friends.The teaching is very professional and the teachers are knowledgable and you need only ever go at the pace that is comfortable to you.
What are the positive benefits you see doing Pilates as a regular form of exercise?
The benefits as one gets older is keeping supple, being focused and helping with concentration and anything that helps with getting and manage getting older has to be a big, big plus.
