Turning Pointe Pilates

I had been diagnosed with MS about 20 years ago and promptly stuck my head in the sand. After 4 falls in a year and some investigation I found Lisa and her team at turning point. When I started I could stand on one leg for about 4 seconds, after a year of Lisa and her team's very professional and very patient tutoring I can stand on one leg for over 20 seconds and haven't had a fall for a year. I am very impressed and I'm much more confident. Turning point has the added benefit of zoom classes which are excellent for keeping continuity of your program. I can't recommend turning point enough. They are great.

Really love Lisa and Monica and Turning Pointe Pilates. They are knowledgeable and offer a great variety of options and classes. I have experienced improvement in my physical strength and capacity and adore the zoom option. Thank you Lisa!

Lisa is incredibly knowledgeable about the beneficial effects of stretching and exercise on the human body and is an excellent Pilates and dance teacher. She has a beautiful spirit and genuinely wants to help people to be strong, fit and pain free. I would recommend her classes to everyone and I’ve seen first hand how she has helped so many people.

I gave up ballet at the age of 5, after a few terms. So I was surprised when a friend suggested learning ballet. As a not so graceful mid-life woman, all I expected was a bit of a laugh. What I discovered is that it's never too late to become a ballerina. Lisa is full of encouragement as well as careful instructions to help you look after your body. And I've noticed my balance and coordination are improving. I highly recommend Lisa's ballet classes, whatever your age.

Turning Pointe Pilates Studio is a serene oasis from the world outside.The windows face onto a pleasant garden with Buddha and Ganesha helping to centre us.Lisa is a very experienced teacher of dance and Pilates. She is also very caring and has a good sense of humour.Her classes are professional, motivational and also a lot of fun. She provides personal attention to every participant.I would highly recommend this studio.

For the first time in my life I am witnessing parts of my body gain strength and muscle that I never even thought was possible, such as my notoriously non-existent calf muscles. Also, my overall strength, stability, and flexibility has dramatically improved and my body truly craves the practice! Thank you so much to Lisa and the team for all the changes your guidance and expertise has created for me and for also providing a supportive, enjoyable and nurturing experience. Pilates is a practice I will do for life thanks to you!

Whenever I finish a class at Turning Pointe Pilates I feel stronger, more flexible and energised. Lisa's passion for movement is infectious as she shares her extensive knowledge in a way that is so easy to understand. I highly recommend Turning Pointe for anyone wanting to get more in tune with their body and the way it can move!

Without question Turning Pointe Pilates changed my life. I could barely walk 2 years ago with excruciating back pain. I now have none, can exercise regularly and lost over 10kg as a result. Lisa and her team tailor your workout to your body’s needs and personal goals. I will be a life long member of this studio.

Since February 2020, I've worked with Lisa & Monica at Turning Pointe Pilates to get moving again after a long standing hip & foot injury & they have been incredible. I was 8 out of 10 with pain and had been for some months & through the very specific exercises i do with them, i am now strong, stable and am 2 out of 10 pain level - in just 3 months with 3 x sessions per week. It's just amazing not to be in pain and limping. I had spent 3 years with physio & massage therapy getting very temporary relief (for a few days) but always ending up back in the same place. Thank you SO much, Lisa & Monica! I can't recommend Turning Pointe PIlates highly enough to correct movement and strengthening.

Since joining Lisa’s small group Pilates sessions a couple of months ago my hip pain is decreasing and I am able to enjoy walking again. She is helping me to understand my body so that I feel more confident to better manage my Parkinson’s. Her skill and experience together with her enthusiasm make for great classes.Yvonne Beacon Hill
