Well, enjoying this dvd lots, so hope the next one is as good. Like the pace, the real talk – baby kicking, this is hurting etc…. keeps you going!

Look forward to getting the next one, time for a bit of change.

thanks Sarah

Thank you for the prompt arrival of the DVDs. I am just at the 2nd trimester but broke my partner into pilates with 1st trimester class last night to educate his back for carrying the child later, since he is a sportsman with a bad back. We both enjoyed the DVD and he is aching this morning!

Although I have undertaken pilates classes sometime before, I felt your approach to be very friendly and the positions were well described and watchable. After his initial introduction we are going to continue with the 2nd trimester dvd and I look forward to no back ache and an easier birth.

Thank you. Liz Pritchard

Your 2nd trimester DVD was excellent and has really eased my back pain, in fact I think that it has made my pregnancy a lot easier and I am so active! I look forward to starting on my third trimester exercises.

Regards, Viv

love it. down-to-earth, inclusive and not intimidating I feel like I could put the kettle on straight after the class to have a cuppa with Tash. I feel fantastic and quite proud once I’ve done a class

Thanks for a great ‘second trimester’ DVD. I have been doing it avidly and can definitely say it has helped with my back problems and has kept me exercising – I did alot of sport before I became pregnant and was concious that I didnt want everything to ‘go to pot’ once I was pregnant!

Best wishes Catherine

I Just wanted to say thank you so much for the First Trimester Pregalates DVD that I received in the post. Delivery was super fast & the packaging brought a tear to my eye as it was my first congratulations from anyone as my hubby and I have decided to keep our pregnancy secret for the first trimester.

I have been to Weight Watchers since January and have been on an extensive exercise programme so I was really worried when I fell pregnant that I wouldn’t be able to continue my exercise. I was equally concerned that Pilates would be too easy for me. Boy! Was I wrong! Your pregalates really challenges me and I must admit after my first workout my bum muscles really ached the following day!

I am definitely going to buy the other DVD’s you have to get me through the rest of my pregnancy. Thanks so much again!

Love Irene

Just a quickie to confirm receipt of the DVD (was refreshing not to pay over the odds for postage and very speedy delivery – thanks) and to say that I did it last night. I still manage to get to a studio class once a week but rely on DVDs for my second/third sessions as I can fit in a home work out so much more easily.

I really enjoyed the work out – I’ve done pilates since I was 4 months pregnant with my first child (who is now 2) and love it. I used to do a lot of club sport (swimming & athletics) and have always been pretty fit, so tend to find most forms of exercise don’t really push me enough, particularly pregnancy related stuff as people always err on the side of caution and take things super gently. However, the DVD wasn’t like that at all – the clam/inner thigh part is a killer! I loved it. Can’t wait for the post natal work out (and to see my abs again)!

Thanks again, Faye

My little baby Alba is now 3 weeks old and we are enjoying your DVD. Sometimes I have to do the abs with her on my tummy, but that works quite well. I really feel that it is making a difference and stretching me just enough. I’ve done pilates quite a bit before but I think that I would really struggle if not.

Having a DVD to follow is a lifesaver as at the moment she is too little for me to manage to get out to a class and leave her with someone. I was lucky and was back at my pre pregnancy weight and shape after a week of having her, but my tummy is in need of a lot of exercise to get back to being as it was. (it looks fine so long as I don’t bend over!)

I saw a write up of the DVD in Pregnancy & Baby magazine – pity I hadn’t known about it earlier, but I’ll certainly recommend it.

Best wishes

Thank you very much for the dvds. The gift wrap was a nice touch. The dvds are very good and it helps that you were pregnant at the time when you made them as it helps me relate to the aches and pains etc! I found the workout very fulfilling and I felt good from what I had achieved.

Many Thanks for your support.
Kind Regards, Zoe

I have never done Pilates before, so when I did my first session with the DVD this weekend, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was great! Your instructions were really clear, it was good to have lots of reminders of the breathing techniques, and the exercises were much harder than I thought – which is a good thing! I had worried that it would be too soft – just some stretching with no real effort involved, but instead I was shouting at the TV when doing the butt muscle exercises!!

I liked that you were honest about some of the exercises being hard, and admitting to feeling hot and bothered yourself! Some instructors put you off by pretending it’s all effortless which makes you feel like a failure straight away, but I’m really encouraged and will definitely stick to a three-times-a week routine.

Thanks again for a brilliant pregnancy exercise programme.
