Balance Pilates

In September 2016 I came to Libby with ongoing lower back issues in hope that she could help strengthen my core enough to continue surfing without pain.One year on and I am no longer in pain after surfing and I solely contribute that to Libby .Libby is a professional instructor that has personalized my therapy .Libby also worked in with my Osteo updating him on my progress.The classes are fun and the clinical Pilates is enjoyable for the results achieved .The studio is always clean and tidy.I would recommend Balance by Libby to anyone.

I can very confidently recommend Balance by Libby at Palmwoods for those who want to build core strength, improve flexibility and fitness or may have musculoskeletal problems that require rehabilitation. The limited small group mat classes (5 max) and the individual equipment sessions ensure that participants are carefully guided and monitored for their individual needs. Libby and her instructors are very, very knowledgable about the body and Pilates techniques and are able to adapt exercises to personalise the routines. Libby stresses the importance of listening to your own body and working within its limits. Over the last six months with Libby (and Julie) I have developed an awareness of many of my muscles and the work that they do. I have been able to strengthen the muscles around my lower back which has alleviated some of my chronic pain. My flexibility has improved amazingly and I am therefore able to be more active. I enjoy the hour connecting with and working with my body guided by such professional, caring instructors who are so obviously passionate about what they do.I am so grateful that I found you, Libby.

I can thoroughly recommend Libby. Libby really cares about your individual needs, carefully planning what is the best Pilates routine for you and conscientiously checking that you are doing each exercise correctly. A genuine, caring person and health professional.

After years of lower back pain and weakness I am finally becoming strong and balanced again since starting Pilates with Libby a couple of months ago. I have previously done Pilates with a few different instructors and I have found Libby to be the best by far. She is very professional and I know I am really in good hands when it comes to the technique of Pilates. My personalised program has reduced my pain dramatically and I can feel and see the results all over my body. Libby is such a lovely person to spend time with and I walk out of each session feeling great. Love Balance by Libby!

I have been doing Pilates with Libby for a bit over 12 months now and have found it very beneficial for my body. I also play netball and go to a high intensity gym which can be hard on my body, my hour of Pilates seems to 'put my body back together' while also working it hard. Libby makes the class fun and is always mindful of any injuries or soreness that you may have and changes your program to suit.

I have been doing Pilates with Libby for several years now. I was a bit nervous about trying it, but learning Pilates techniques with Libby has become an integral part of my health and wellness journey. I have tried other Pilates classes, but the personal approach which Libby offers each of her clients keeps me coming back. I have found Pilates pulls together many of the other types of exercise and therapies I have tried over the years. Libby has helped me keep moving through injuries - and we always have a laugh. The classes are varied and stimulating and I can't recommend her studio highly enough. If you have never tried Pilates - this is the perfect place to start! (I'm 61 years young by the way!)

Stephen and I have attended weekly Pilates classes for over 12 yrs. Emerging muscular skeletal problems and other health issues necessitated remedial action to manage any decline in overall fitness levels.Physiotherapists and Pilates exercises have helped tremendously to maintain a good level of health. Since joining Libby's Pilates classes she has continued with a very similar exercise regime. Her attention to detail and correcting faults ensures the achievements of our health goals. She will consult closely with medical professionals to develop exercise routines commensurate with medical advice. Her classes are conducted in an atmosphere of individual care and understanding particularly when exercise routines may not always be able to be performed easily. The studio is equipped with modern equipment and easily accessed from the road by anyone with walking difficulties.

I am so grateful to have met Libby as I had become a cranky lady with aches and pains and an osteopath who shook her head in disgust at how I was letting my body seize up. Having been an avid pilates student for years previously, I was skeptical but Libby's individual & continual assessment has ensured my recovery to full mobility, with still heaps of pilates challenges ahead of me as I quite literally go from strength to strength. So if you are looking for an individually tailored pilates session in a fun environment with a really knowledgeable instructor, I would strongly recommend you contact Libby before she gets totally booked out!

Libby's pilates classes have a strong focus on breathing and getting in tune with using the right muscles in your body rather than a fast-paced gym atmosphere. Classes with Libby are always in a happy, positive environment and we always have a good laugh. I highly recommend this studio.

Libby has been fantastic in helping motivate me towards better body health. Libby keeps my programs fun and fresh and I look forward to my time at her modern tranquil studio. Her knowledge and positive attitude keeps me on track. I'm so grateful for all her advice and help with addressing my neck issues. I might live on the other side of the Sunny Coast but am happy to travel to see the best!
