Success Story

So for everyone out there getting used to their new regime of working from home and know their desk and chair and computer angle is not quite right. And you know you have to be isolated for the next 3 months at least. So how are you going to get through this.
I firmly believe movement is medicine so don’t forget to move daily and if you are not sure how to do this – then read what my client faith taking the plunge By doing a weekly dose of movement with me on line though zoom and thought I would share what she gets out of it….

She first tried a Zoom session when she had a bad cold and preferred to remain at home rather than walk to the gym. Additionally “I have now used it multiple times while I’ve been in California taking care of my Mum.”

Faith really wanted to be sure to continue with her Pilates practice on a regular basis; Zoom offered that option.

Faith was hesitant about being able to connect online and unsure about how the interface would work.
“I was also concerned about how Sue would be able to correct me without being physically present.”

When I asked Faith what had the process of working with me has being like on line vs face to face This was her fabulous reply especially in the current situation we all find ourselves in “Really not that different at all. Sue is a master with her cues. She is incredibly observant and right on it when things need to be adjusted. I suppose the only downside is that we aren’t able to use the reformer but the mat classes are challenging and good fun”

The best result faith has got from working with me on line which should make every one sigh with relief is “The ability to keep going with my Pilates regardless of where I am, what time zone I’m in.
So in conclusion I asked faith would she continue to do on line again or return to face to face why and would you use the other option?

I will continue to do both. I really enjoy the face to face, getting out, walking to the gym etc but I will absolutely use Zoom as well for the flexibility and accessibility. And currently it has helped incredibly with both my mental and physical health”

Movement is Medicine so join the on line movement to help you do more than just survive but rather thrive through the challenges that lie ahead.
