TESTIMONIALS
KRISTY HUNTER: “I have just completed the Reformer Instructor Course at Addicted to Pilates. I couldn’t recommend it more to anyone wanting a nourishing and welcoming environment to learn in. Oli, the Studio Owner and Teacher throughout this course, doesn’t “teach” in the traditional method of learning. Instead, the intensely passionate Oli, “shares” her knowledge, “imparts” her skills and “praises” your accomplishments as her own. With a perfectly balanced ratio of theory to practical, this course went so fast and I was sad when it was over. I am now planning to enrol in the Mat Pilates Instructor Course so I can soak in some more pilates inspiration to share with the wider community.”
