Testimonials
Lorraine is a wonderful inspiration to take more exercise, and stave off reduced mobility, offering gentle weekly guidance (via Zoom at present) to correctly stretch and use my body to recover its flexibility and rebuild my strength to combat years of sitting in front of a screen all day. She is brilliant at motivating me to achieve more, and I am even contemplating walking the South Downs Way, a long held ambition of mine. Keep up the great work, Lorraine!
Toni - Meeting Place Wiston. Online Zoom Pilates and Legs,Bums and tums classes.
I would like to say a big thank you to Lorraine for her Pilates and Legs, Bums and Tums classes via Zoom, during lock down. It would have been easy to not bother with classes, but Lorraine always goes that extra mile.
The classes are really good fun and I look forward to face to face sessions again in the future.
Thanks Caroline
Caroline - Meeting Place, Wiston Pilates classes and online Zoom classes
I have been attending Lorraine’s Pilates classes for 15 years or so. Lorraine is welcoming and friendly and always takes the time to give people alternative options if they find the exercise hard or have an injury. I have always very much enjoyed the classes and would thoroughly recommend Lorraine and her classes to anyone thinking of joining. During Lockdown I have been taking part in Lorraine's online Zoom Pilates and Legs, Bums and Tums class, these too have been very enjoyable.
Nicki - Meeting Place Wiston Pilates class and Online Zoom classes
I would like to say a big 'Thank you' to Lorraine for her Zoom classes for Pilates and LBT which have felt a lifeline of normality and a feeling of community during lockdown.
These classes are varied and always enjoyable.
Many thanks Lorraine, I really recommend your classes and they will be a good combination with face to face classes when they return.
Margaret - Steyning Leisure centre Pilates and Online Zoom Pilates and Legs, Bums and Tums.
I have been doing Pilates with Lorraine for many years now having previously had lower back problems. Her classes are friendly and small in numbers allowing individual attention if required. She is also happy to adapt exercises around any particular issues you may have.
The Zoom classes have allowed me to continue Pilates during lockdown as well doing Legs, bums and Tums which have also provided me with a routine during these difficult times.
Madeline - Tuesday Meeting Place Pilates class and Online Zoom classes
Since going to Pilates with Lorraine over the last few months l am now able to do exercises l could hardly attempt before. I also feel confident in Lorraine's class to try various ways of the same exercise as she is very attentive and helpful making sure you are attempting then correctly. My core strength has improved and l think about my posture more. Thank you MC

Hi Lorraine,
This is to thank you for your excellent class which has been extremely beneficial to me. As I explained to you yesterday, I broke my arm/shoulder ( right proximal humerus ) 04/12/12. My consultant warned me that movement would be restricted and that there probably wouldn't be any improvement after 18 months. Since starting your class, over a year ago, I am happy to say that there has been continuous improvement in my mobility, far more than I had expected.
Mary French - Friday morning aqua class - Steyning
This is to say how much you are appreciated as a teacher of aqua aerobics at the Steyning Leisure centre, where I attend your classes on Fridays. I have been coming to these classes for 6/7 years and through regular attendance keep myself fitter. Thank you for putting so much effort into the variety of exercises and pushing us hard! It makes an interesting change for me from the gym routine and I feel that it is a very beneficial class to do alongside my Gym circuit, some of the exercises are similar and therefore reinforce the training, which includes some work with the personal trainers doing Viper weights. Good luck with the rest of the year and see you soon!
Felicity Burnet- Friday morning aqua class - Steyning
Thank you Lorraine! I have been attending your class 6 weeks now and really enjoying your class. I read/heard that if you do Pilates 2/3 times a week... You will feel the benefit after 6 weeks and after 12 weeks see the difference!!! Well I am definitely feeling more flex able and toned!! Today I realised that there are so many positions I can do with ease which 6 weeks ago we're impossible to do!!! Thank you Lorraine so much....roll on 12 weeks time!!
Fay Williams, Pilates Steyning Leisure centre
I am a 'senior' and four years ago asked Lorraine to try to get me fit,more supple and generally keep old age at bay for as long as possible,
Well I am older but fitter now than I was ten years ago. Lorraine comes to my home once a week and I love every session. She constantly comes up with fresh ideas to keep the sessions new and interesting always a challenge but with good results. Thank you Lorraine

I have been attending Lorraine’s Over 50 Aqua Fit class at the Pavilions in Horsham for over seven years. Even after this time I still thoroughly enjoy her class. It is never the same & with the variety each week you do not have a chance to get bored. I always come away feeling that I have had a good workout & it is fun. Lorraine always encourages you to work at your level so you do not feel hopeless if you are unable to do any of the exercises. Everyone is very friendly & Lorraine certainly has a happy class.
Marilyn Scrivener, Horsham.
I have been attending Lorraine's 60+ pilates class for over 2years now and have found it really helpful as I suffered with reoccurring back problems for years and was worried about exercising but Lorraine is so encouraging and careful and lets you go at your own pace, she is always cheerful which helps to make exercising an enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend trying pilates with Lorraine.
Sandra Boorer, Sullington Pilates classes
I have recently joined Lorraine's Pilates class in Steyning. Lorraine finds out from you what you can do and any problems you have she adapts the exercise for you. She encourages you and makes you feel at ease. The hour goes quickly and I really enjoy the class.
Sue Sullivan- Body Matters, Steyning
I am doing pilates for the first time and really enjoying the sessions with a brilliant instructor. When I return from Dubai in June I’ll be supporting Lorraine in her Breast Cancer event. I also very much enjoy aqua fit, lots of hard work - good !!
