I have attended several workshops for teachers with Liz Chandler and all have been superb. Such a wealth of knowledge imparted with clarity and a mind to practical application. Liz is thorough caring and practical. The last workshop I attended though was just amazing. I learnt techniques that have helped an old shoulder injury which several physios have not been able to help me with. Techniques that I am now using with clients to amazing affect. I cannot recommend Liz enough. She is just brilliant!!

I had a wonderful 1:1 with Liz Chandler today. Some mat pilates and on the reformer. My back feels great and I feel very fluid and relaxed. Can't recommend Puremoves enough for their expertise and determination to make a difference for their clients.

The classes run by Pure Moves are fantastic. Over the past two years I have taken Pilates with three different Pure Moves tutors on different days and evenings when I was free. They were all great, -super professional and fun. There is a lot of individual guidance and advice, and a range of classes for different abilities. I also really like the way they have an online ClassSwap so if you can't make a class you never miss out, you just swap into a different one. Over the past year they have run Zoom classes throughout the lockdowns, this has been a real support and a much better experience than

If you are thinking of taking up Pilates or looking for a new studio I highly recommend Pure Moves. I've been a client for a few years and its a wonderful centre for learning Pilates. The teachers are highly accomplished, professional and encouraging. The studio has a warm, friendly feel and I've made two fantastic new friends within my class!

Pure Moves is an excellent home for the best pilates you will ever experience, with exceptionally highly trained teachers, who are all lovely to boot. The experience is really personal, and you're welcomed into Pure Moves whether in a mat class or a 1 - 1. There are additional studios and services, all in the beautiful studios. Great top of the range equipment, super hygienic too. Absolutely recommended, whether you have never tried pilates, or are a dancer with huge experience of body work. I can't recommend Pure Moves highly enough!
