Report
To be in the care of Trevor Blount and his team of most highly qualified and very attentive teachers is to be in heaven. I have been a client at Trevor Blount Pilates for well over 15 years. He has seen me through many physical challenges over those years. Three pregnancies in three and a half years, which is very taxing on the female body. He has assisted me through multiple sports injuries. I was an Epee fencer for several years, so I had injuries over the years. I am 55 years old and incredibly fit and able, despite my injuries, due to the care and attention that Trevor and his amazing team

I have been coming regularly for two years already, following my second pregnancy. But I am a classical ballet dancer too so besides helping to get back in shape, Trevor and his wonderful team persistently help me fix all the disallimenments which is was not aware off whilst strengthening my entire body in every session. Amazing team and athmosohere, and how lucky to be able to learn from Trevor alone!

This is a very professionally run studio. The teachers are all very well trained and keep up to date. They can help you if you have an injury and also educate those of us who just want to become more aware. The studio hours are great for those of us who work (early mornings, late evenings and weekends) and the location is very handy for tube or bus.
Trevor, Alex, Kathryn and the team are just fabulous!

I started Pilates at Trevor Blount after a lengthy illness that left me tired and out of condition. Three years later I feel strong and fit. The instructors are excellent - every session is different and expertly tailored. An essential part of my week.
