Tracey’s sessions focused on strength and interval training. Tracey felt stronger at 60 than ever before.
Sessions included a mix of outdoor strength and fitness so that Kate can keep up as a busy working Mum.
Fatma struggled with knee pain so we managed it with Pilates and low impact circuit training.
Since starting with Dana it has made me more aware of my fitness levels and well being. Making me more active and feeling better about myself. I joined the Pure Pilates Membership so I can access classes in my own time. Dana is happy and positive which is very encouraging.
Highly recommend
Dana is so encouraging and motivating. She tailors the training to really suit you and pushes you to succeed. She really listens to me and is always on hand when I need her for a little motivational boost! Not just about the physical fitness but nutrition and mental health balance too.
Highly recommend!
Having tried different classes and Personal trainers I have at last found a really good fit with Dana. Her approach to training is holistic with great attention to the whole person. Dana is an extremely knowledgable trainer and each package is tailored to individual needs/niggles.
Working with Dana has been transformational for me in terms of both physical and emotional health
Frequently asked questions
Yes definitely. I love to help people start from whatever level they are currently at. We will discuss your current niggles/barriers/goals and create a program for you which I can adapt during the sessions. Please don’t worry.
I would always recommend that you speak to a healthcare professional, especially if it is quite recent issue. During the booking process, I will ask you to complete a consultation form which gives me information around your medical history so I can ensure you are safe to exercise. Pilates is generally great for managing niggles and pain.
Yes, Pilates is a gentle, restorative way of strengthening the body. It is low impact and most of the exercises are done on the mat. I will guide you through the Pilates principles and the fundamentals which will soon become very familiar to you.
To begin with no, as it’s important that we learn the basics first such as muscle engagement, the breath, postural alignment and pacing. As we progress, I may make suggestions of small based equipment I think that would enhance your sessions.
Of course! During the pandemic, I would often meet clients on parks or in their gardens. You will be surprised at how much you can do with a park bench.
Sessions are 50-60min which includes a catch up chat, warm up, main session with progressions where appropriate and cool down stretch.
Majority of my clients are around Beeston, Chilwell, Bramcote and Wollaton. If you are outside of that, just get in touch.
You don’t need to be fit to start. You just need to be ready to begin.
