I have been visiting "The Core Studio" for over two years, and have found Jane's expertise and assistance a huge help in complimenting my other training. In particular Jane has helped me prepare for, and recover from, a cycle ride from Land's end to John O'Groats, she is also currently helping to prepare me for two triathlons in the coming months.  Jane's own experience in Triathlon competition is no doubt invaluable, but she has also helped my work on my flexibility and core strength both vital... especially as I get older!!!!

I first met Jane when she moved into our village and became a near neighbour and I soon realised that she was one of those special people that one rarely meets in life as I saw her raising two lovely children, teaching Pilates whilst training at all hours, and competing successfully in major Iron Man competitions. I had retired from business and was conscious that my weight was increasing, my fitness levels decreasing and I needed some help. I hugely admired Jane as an athlete who knew what she was teaching as she was herself a shining example of physical fitness, so it was a no-brainer to ask her if she could help a 67 year old man who was overweight and unfit. Without hesitation she took me on and we began one to one sessions in her studio and the transformation over the next weeks and months was life changing as my posture improved, my core strength developed so that my long term back problem disappeared and I lost weight in the process. I am now 74 and Jane's oldest client but she tailors her teaching to my fitness levels and I still benefit from her help. I have no hesitation in recommending this amazing lady to anyone of any age. She will change your life.

Working with Jane on core strength was definitely challenging but surprisingly achievable. She keeps a good eye on her students and is ready to correct poor technique or if need be, modify the exercise depending on the students ability and flexibility. I definitely credit her classes to helping me achieve a PB in my Ironman race and giving me greater awareness to self correct poor posture across all three disciplines.

I had never tried pilates before I met Jane. She taught me for four years in Dubai and really helped my core strength after having my second baby. Pilates lessons became a challenging but addictive workout largely due to being able to feel the results of the classes very early on. I only wish Jane hadn't left Dubai!

Jane is without doubt the most professional, knowledgeable and inspirational trainer I have ever worked with. When I first met Jane I felt sure she would help me achieve my goals and I was right! With her encouragement and inspiration I have not only lost considerable amounts of excess weight, but trained to run a half marathon in two hours, vastly improved my core strength, my posture and overall well being. I have achieved a level of fitness I never thought possible. I have no hesitation in recommending Jane to anyone who wants to improve their fitness, core strength, posture or how in general they feel about themselves.

Sometimes in life one is fortunate enough to meet “special” people who inspire you and simply make your life better. Jane is certainly one of those people. Not only she was the best female amateur triathlete in the Middle East and has been undefeated for many years, she is a Sports Specialist, a Pilates Instructor and most importantly a superb mother of two beautiful children. Her ability to multi task and strike a balance between her family, profession and passion for sports speaks volume of her character and determination. I had the privilege to be Jane’s training partner for 3 years and trained together for countless hours of swimming, biking and running and together we have competed at two World Championships and many local and international races, and achieved fantastic results. They say that it is easier to train with others and share the pain. It is definitely true and in my 20 years of triathlon I have never had a better person/friend like Jane to train with who can push herself to the limit and yet managed to do it with a smile on her face. Jane is greatly missed and is very hard to replace and I wish her all the best in her move back to the UK.

Jane taught me before & after a serious car accident in Dubai. Her dedication to me and my needs was no different, before and after the accident, although the requirements differed substantially. This showcased her knowledge and understanding of what and how pilates can make a difference to every person who practices it. Although a very pleasant and fun person to train with, Jane takes her classes seriously and ensures that you get the best out of her and her experience. Jane is a true inspiration and lives what she teaches. She comes more than highly recommended!
