Robin carried out a postural analysis and tailored the classes to my particular requirements. He has a natural enthusiasm and a deep understanding of the subject. He is an excellent communicator and makes learning a great experience. The studio is set in beautiful surroundings and Robin has created a very peaceful space, with first class equipment. I would recommend without hesitation.

Robin’s clear and relaxed teaching style allows you to understand the exercises as well as benefit from them. He is an expert in identifying imbalances or other areas to improve and gives you points to work on after the session. The beautiful garden views from the well-equipped studio complete the experience. Highly recommended.

I started sessions about 6 months ago, I am very impressed with Robin's knowledge, enthusiasm and the way he explains things. I have done a mixture of group and 1-2-1s, I feel that my posture has noticeably improved, my waistline has been revealed plus my arm strength increased. Robin tailors his lessons for the attendees which keeps the experience fresh and interesting. He is very enthusiastic and conscientious about her role as a Pilates instructor and this makes me feel challenged and satisfied. I would say to anyone that has tried Pilates, if you really want to understand and benefit from this form of exercise look no further than the classes Robin runs.

Robin is incredibly knowledgeable and his sessions are very relaxed, yet focussed. I’ve been working 3 times per week 1:1 and attending 2 group seasons via zoom and the change in my core muscles, body shape and strength is remarkable. His zoom classes are so engaging and safe, he uses terminology that we all understand and relate to. He’s worked with my teenage son as well changing his posture beyond recognition focusing on his “tech neck” I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Robin and the Cotswold Garden Pilates studio.

Really amazing Pilates teacher and lovely location for lessons. Has really helped.

Excellent one to one, after I was the only one booked, so it was a treat to have this kind of attention. Brilliant session and really helped me personally with posture. Very good for anyone like me with back issues.

Execellent teacher made it all very clear, easy to follow and he does help us with tips. It was just what I needed. Thank you!

Great class with Ian - very focused - knows what he’s talking about! Felt stronger afterwards.

Brilliant class thank you Robin! I will be aching tomorrow I’m sure! 😄

Great class with lots of description of form and body position. The way the instructor describes posture really helps you visualise and understand what you need to adjust with your body.

Fantastic class, Robin is a great instructor and really good at explaining all movements and correct posture to adopt for the future, would highly recommend.

Really brilliant class and teacher. A very calming and approachable style of teaching. Lots of really helpful instructions making sure you really make the most of all the movements and feel all the benefits. I've done a lot of pilates online and this one really stands above the rest, thank you!

I've been doing pilates on and off for about 20 years but found I still learned a lot in this class which was also very enjoyable. Guidance is very clear and relaxed. Best pilates class ever, would highly recommend.

Despite this being Robin’s first week of virtual classes, the class was extremely easy to follow and Robin explains everything very clearly and has a great focus on form. Will attend again.

Great class, working on posture and alignment .

Brilliant class, clear instructions, & the tech neck style addressed my personal muscle issues.. 100% will attend again, Thank you Robin, much appreciated.

Great and thorough pilates class. Robin is very knowledgeable and it helped me learn things I didn't know, even though I have been doing pilates for a while now.

A great pilates class with Robin. Really clear instructions, as much as I love all the core work that pilates usually covers, it was great to focus some time on my neck and shoulders, feel about 5cm taller. Thank you, I'll be back soon ☺
