I’ve been enjoying Amanda’s classes at Bodycore Pilates for many years. Amanda is so knowledgable, and makes her classes varied and great fun. In March, when lockdown was introduced, Amanda moved her classes online, she did this straight away, I don’t know how she managed it so quickly. To say this was a life saver sounds dramatic, but at such a… scary time, to have Amanda’s classes to look forward to, truly was a slice of normality. Now back in the studio, Amanda is now offering both Covid safe, in person classes and online , which is brilliant, with the changing

Have been going to Amanda at Bodycore Pilates for years. She really knows her stuff and has got me through some tough times. Always available for individual advice and always checks on your health status before any lessons. Being clinically vulnerable, Amanda doing the Pilates classes online since March has been a real plus for me. I’m not great at… catching them live (except 9.30 am Mondays!) but I love catching up with them at a time to suit me. I know she’s always there for advice on the phone or by message so this will keep me going until next year. Can’t recommend

I have been attending Amanda’s classes for many years, including through two pregnancies. Amanda is an exceptional instructor - so knowledgeable and she gets to know her client’s strengths and weaknesses so she can tailor advice to individuals. She’s also such a lovely, friendly person and I always leave her classes with a smile. I have always loved the classes but the way Amanda has adapted to online classes throughout the pandemic has genuinely kept me sane! I would 100% recommend Bodycore Pilates Wirral!

I've been attending Amanda's classes for over 11 years now. I am much stronger than I was, despite being older! Amanda knows her stuff, and yet she is always on the quest for new knowledge about the body, and always passes what she has learned on to her students. She has also been a God-send during this pandemic - keeping all her members supplied with online classes when we couldn't get to the studio. Please ask about beginner's classes - you won't regret it!

I started Pilates classes about 18 months ago and feel I have improved so much. Classes are varied and enjoyable both online and in the studio. Amanda is so knowledgeable and experienced that she corrects your position even online when she can’t see you! Throughout this difficult year the classes have helped me to stay well in both body and mind! I recommend Pilates for everyone and you couldn’t have a better teacher than Amanda! 😃

Never dull, always varied, Amanda's classes are fab. I'm a regular for 10 years now and Amanda's teaching keeps my middle aged wear and tear at bay as much as possible. Pilates has made a huge difference for me and I'd recommend it for anyone with back or other joint problems or just general wellbeing. Amanda's thirst for developing her knowledge and expertise is really impressive - pilates geek level 10. She's also quite funny - sometimes😄
