Caroline is as good as a pilates teacher gets. I would say she is the best in the world, but I haven’t tried them all yet. What I do know is that she is better than any I have been to in London. And I often drop into London pilates classes if I need one up there. I find these teachers disappointing as they don’t adjust or even point out the essential things that I know from Caroline’s classes are really important. She is very strict and very funny. I used to think pilates was a bit boring but it is far from that at Caroline’s. Oh, and my back, which was twinging from a bulging disc, and my hips that were groaning from I don’t know what, are really good now. Which is a huge relief. She is excellent, brilliant, amazing. I wish we could clone Caroline so that lots more people could have her as their pilates teacher

Caroline is a fantastic teacher, committed to helping you develop and improve your health and fitness, whatever your age or level. Her classes are challenging and fun; I would wholeheartedly recommend her.

Caroline’s classes are brilliant, always challenging but a lot of fun. I am beginning to feel improvements in all the joints that have given me trouble for many years

I have attended Caroline’s live classes for 2 years, and have really appreciated her attention to detail, knowlege and experience, and the small classes. I have seen my own improvents but she will push me on to new limits. Every part of my body gets a work out in the classes.
I am now feeling stronger and fitter… and with some core strength at last!
I regret not starting pilates sooner. Thank you Caroline for being a superb teacher

Caroline has extensive knowledge and is an expert teacher in Pilates. She highlights the importance of exercising for health, wellbeing and relaxation. Her kind and sensitive manner detects needs of individuals with painful and troubling health needs enabling them to accomplish individual goals. She is a great encourager and has a fun sense of humour. Thank you Caroline for being you

Fabulous. Caroline knows exactly how to tailor the class to each participants needs and does so with encouragement and humour!

Caroline’s classes are amazing! She knows everyone’s weaknesses and strengths, and she knows if you cheat too. There is no sneaking anything past her! If you want to get strong, really properly strong, in your core, and get to know your own body and what it needs, then you need her classes. I feel taller and straighter after her classes, and she has spotted so many little things that I do that have kept my body in bad positions for far too long. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to invest in themselves for life. Also she’s hilarious….but do NOT laugh in class, you will get told off for not concentrating!

I can’t believe how lucky I am to have joined the Pilates Life classes. Caroline is an exceptional Pilates teacher! She has an expert knowledge and gives incredible attention to every individual ensuring that each movement is done safely and effectively. Caroline teaches in a uniquely inspiration way making every class both challenging and enjoyable helping you build strength, flexibility, and confidence. Oh, and not to mention the studio is in the most beautiful setting in the South Downs adding to the overall sense of well-being.

Pilates with Caroline not only significantly ameliorates the shape and condition of one’s body, but also, her delightful sense of humour invariably lifts one’s spirits.

If your well-being matters to you.

If you want to feel strong again.

If you want to stand tall and move freely and confidently without pain then go to Caroline.

She has helped me and many of my patients achieve all of the above. With her expert knowledge and skill she is the Go To Pilates teacher for me and many more.

Put simply, Caroline is the best.

Pilates sessions with Caroline are seriously entertaining. Classes are small so that you cannot escape her scrutiny with the result that you are stretched beyond your own expectations. But there is plenty of gain without pain and Caroline is creative in making each session engagingly different. Beneficial outcomes are quickly realised following a very thorough process of well adjusted routines. Nothing worth having is easy!

Caroline’s and Rebecca‘s seriously professional coaching approach is made completely enjoyable by good humour and the understanding of our different ability.   The care and attention they give to the individual in their group sessions is remarkable, reassuring and rewarding. We always leave feeling lifted in spirit and taller than when we arrived!

Hugely appreciated!

I started Pilates with Caroline in October 2023. It was a big thing for me not having done any exercise for years due to back issues and I absolutely love it. No one is more surprised than me! I have a sedentary job and bad posture due to bad habits. I love Caroline’s style of teaching; she is tough but very caring and helpful. She is aware of everyone’s ‘niggles’ and adapts the classes and moves accordingly. I look forward to going and can definitely feel myself improving.  Highly recommend.

If you are able to come along to Caroline’s Pilates classes then lucky and blessed are you – you are about to meet one of the best Pilates teachers on the planet. My osteopath recommended Caroline to me because of recurring lower back problems and I can honestly say that even after only 8 months of her classes, Pilates has really changed my whole way of thinking about my body and strengthened me mentally and physically in ways that I couldn’t have predicted. The depth, variety and seamless flow in Caroline’s teaching is quite exceptional and she still manages to tailor exercises to the needs and limitations of each individual and make the classes extremely good fun. Add to this the exquisite setting and you have an unbeatable mix. I really couldn’t recommend Pilates Life to you more highly.

Caroline is a brilliant and inspirational instructor with the fit, lithe body of a teenage ballet dancer. This is obviously annoying or aspirational depending on your point of view. However with wit, humour and empathy she helps you realise levels of fitness and suppleness you thought you could only dream of. Caroline seems to intuitively know both what you’re capable of and how to make this happen and so enables you to live life to the full in a fit and healthy body. I am particularly grateful because soon after I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis she pointed out I could “use it or lose it!” (the expletives are missing!) and showed me exercises I could comfortably manage. I do these in conjunction with Iyengar Yoga and ten years on am still mobile.

Caroline is a wonderful person and has done lots of things before any of us had thought of them or they were trendy including becoming a pilates instructor. Im sure to do one of her classes in the fantastic setting of the Crowlink studio would be an amazing experience…although be warned, she wont let you slack off!

Really enjoy the classes, Caroline is a great teacher, has done wonders for me.

I’ve only recently joined Caroline’s Pilates and now look forward to her Monday morning class. A lovely teacher and I appreciate the individual input she gives, so as to get the most from each exercise.

I have been going to Pilates with Caroline twice a week for over a year now. Each lesson is focused and she manages to individualy bring out our own strengths and weaknesses. She even knows when we are moving incorrectly when her back is to us! We also have a bit of a laugh and I certainly feel much stronger and fitter, it’s all excellent.

For more than thirty years, ever since I was in my teens, I have pursued physical fitness in one form or another. I have not found a regime that works quite as well as Pilates. I don’t have muscles now that I didn’t used to have. What I have is muscles that work more efficiently and co-operatively than they used to do, with visible results being a happy by-product of that. Everything that my daily sedentary deskbound work routine inflicts upon my body, all the kinks and bends and hunches and aches, Pilates undoes. Caroline teaches with diligence, patience and the occasional biting wit, bringing improvement to students of all ages and abilities in an enviably appointed studio on the south coast.

I always thought pilates was a soft option. Carolines are like boot camp! I have had back problems for years but my back problems have almost disappeared. Caroline really pushes you to your best while keeping a very vigilant eye on your safety. Have been crying laughing which is an added bonus. These classes are amazing.

The only upside of coronavirus is finding Caroline’s lessons. I really enjoy them after a day at the desk and my husband has also become a great fan. Straighter and maybe a little more bendy now after a few classes I would be happy to recommend Pilates with Caroline to anyone. If her studio ever is allowed to reopen I would love to attend.

I was already in my sixties when I discovered Pilates. Didn’t have my first lesson with Caroline til 2007. It was a revelation! Made me realise all my previous teachers had been incompetent – verging on dangerous. Her lessons always leave me feeling somewhat tired – but inspired. My arthritis (exacerbated by 30 years of several hours competitive badminton every week) has steadily worsened – more so over the past two and a half years when Caroline was too many miles away for me to attend her classes – she had always been mindful of my limitations – protecting me while still encouraging me to push myself with moves I could achieve and improve on. Thirteen years later, having become accessible through online classes, she still amazes me. These days I approach her classes with a mix of optimism and trepidation – but after eight weeks of consistent classes I find my confidence has increased and the arthritic joints are not just less painful – they are unbelievably more flexible. All I can say is – Thank you, Caroline!

I started pilates with Caroline 3 months ago, as a real beginner, and it has already had a huge impact. I feel so much more flexible already and my chronic hip flexor pain, which I’ve had for 7 or 8 years, has disappeared. I am a surgeon and spend long hours standing at sometimes difficult angles but pausing to re-align myself is so much easier to do now and I can sense that I am developing the core strength to maintain a good posture for much longer. For the first time in many years I am proud of my body and what it can achieve. Caroline does wonders! She is funny and strict in turns, and immensely astute, spotting from the back of the room what I may be doing wrong. Her classes have a great pace and are always varied and challenging – you can really feel them working. I have had back pain in the past and am always wary of hurting myself with poor stretches or core exercises but Caroline is clearly a real expert and everything we do in class feels safe and effective. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

Caroline is an inspirational and dedicated teacher, she concentrates carefully on each person in the class attending to thier own individual strengths and weaknesses. The results are quite phenomenal! I can even reach down to put on my socks now….

When I met Caroline, I was in pain with a damaged muscle, in my right arm. I had a limited range of motion and had to cease swimming, as I could not lift my arm to shoulder height; meeting Caroline changed my health and my life. With regular practice of Pilates, my arm has long since healed and I am swimming again; I saw an improvement within 3 months and this was due, in no uncertain terms, to Caroline’s dedicated, excellent teaching. Having had good teachers, for various interests that I pursue, I recognise excellence and with no hesitation, I can say that there simply could not be a finer, more committed and compassionate teacher of Pilates. I am so lucky to have found her. Caroline does not teach a class, without being able to see every student, where she can properly correct alignment of the body; all delivered with Caroline’s wry humour (always welcome during class). If anyone believes that Pilates is an easy option, or that it’s a ‘bit like Yoga’, I encourage you to try Pilates with Caroline; your health and wellbeing will thank you for it.

Caroline is the best Pilates teacher I have ever had! She is challenging, fun and above all extremely knowledgeable and therefore very safe to work with. I trust her implicitly, unlike other Pilates teachers I’ve had in the past who have encouraged clients to take risks, Caroline ensures everyone is safe and working within their abilities. She watches constantly and makes adjustments. My back is transformed since starting with Caroline, much more flexible, pain free and mobile. I can’t recommend Caroline highly enough, thanks so much for all the hard work!

I’ve been doing pilates online with Caroline since the beginning of lockdown and I have found her classes to be very therapeutic both physically and mentally, not to say challenging. She has an extraordinary ability to make each member of the class feel special with personal attention given to each & everyone. I have done a lot of pilates/yoga/fitness in my time and she is by far the best teacher I’ve come across. She gives very clear instructions and always pushes you. She’s also lots of fun.

Professional progressive pilates classes in a beautiful studio.

Great teachers are very rare and Caroline is one of them. Professional, experienced, inspirational. How lucky are we to have found her.

Best Ever Pilates teacher!!!

Outstanding Teacher

I was a very sceptical man who thought that Pilates was for ladies in Lycra but my wife kept trying to persuade me to go and give it a try to help with a recurrent bad back. Well I can tell you it works ! Caroline is an excellent teacher who has given me a range of exercises to help strengthen my core and back and so I am a convert. I thoroughly recommend Pilates to any sceptical men out there!
