ANDREA MAIDA

“I highly recommend working with Amy Kellow and her company, Everybody Pilates, without reservation. EP creates a wonderfully positive and productive environment in which their instructors can thrive.

My first experience working with Amy Kellow and her staff was in 2013 at the Classical Pilates Convention in Windsor. As producer of this conference, Everybody Pilates took care of every aspect of the event with poise and ease, anticipating the needs of both attendees and presenters.

I returned to the convention again in 2014. There were a few more variables to juggle and teachers were assigned additional workshops to present. Again the organization and cool demeanor did not waver and the resulting event was even better than the previous year.

Everybody Pilates is professional, respectful and efficient. As a presenter I felt great support from the staff. My schedule and duties were clear and Amy made sure there was always someone available should I have a concern or question. I am very much looking forward to participating in this year’s event in Portsmouth.”

“I am very excited to have been selected to attend the Masters programme with Amy next year. Originally contemporary trained, I met Amy in 2012 and there began my classical Pilates journey. I recognised that the classical system was the key to understanding the true intention of Pilates but initially it felt intimidating and overwhelming. Her training background is exceptional having completed the Work and Teaching the Work with Jay Grimes, and with a vast amount of teaching experience with clients and teachers alike. Amy has so much to offer to anyone with a genuine desire to learn, consistently supportive throughout my time training with her, she has always strived to deliver the best Pilates education possible, making learning authentic classical Pilates approachable and fun. The Masters Programme is exactly what I have been waiting for to bring together my classical training and experience to date and to take it to the next level. I consider Amy to be my mentor and my friend and I would not be the teacher that I am today without her. Her passion for the Pilates method shines through her work and to everyone that she shares it with.

Amy has been a big inspiration to me both personally (in my own Pilates practice) and professionally (in my Pilates education). She is the hardest working person that I know but that doesn’t stop her from motivating and encouraging other teachers, staff and clients. The content of her courses is second to none and she’s a wonderful mentor. She is always professional and holds true to her beliefs whilst being welcoming and understanding of others. She has provided lots of support and advice with my ongoing transition into the franchise and I look forward to continuing working with her in the years to come.”

“The Everybody Pilates Master Mentor Programme is an absolute game changer. It has taken my personal practice and teaching to another level. Amy has a wealth of knowledge and experience and shares it with you in such a way that enables you to truly understand the classical syllabus. I am only halfway through the programme and already my teaching and personal practice have reached a whole new level. This is the best decision and investment that I have made in myself, and I am full of gratitude to Amy for opening up this opportunity to me.”

“Every Tuesday morning you can find me in my studio, ready to accept a Skype connection with Amy Kellow. Although Amy is in the U.K., and I am in Walnut Creek, California, I always know that she is about to give me another “ah-ha” moment in my Pilates journey. It is like receiving a small gift each time. Amy always brings her keen eye and unique teaching abilities to each session. She has a contagious smile and refreshing since of humor, that compliments her expert instruction. I highly recommend Amy’s Skype sessions. Even though you might be miles apart, it will feel as though she is standing right next to you. I love Tuesday’s!”

“I have been going to Everybody Pilates for several years now, having been recommended after some physio on my back. Going regularly has improved my posture and core strength amongst other things. Kerry, Anna and Annie are extremely knowledgeable and helpful plus the classes have the added bonus of being varied and fun!

I would definitely recommend doing pilates with them.”

“Just loving my Pilates with Kerry at the moment; she’s ensuring the class is interesting using a diversity of exercises, and equipment, to challenge and motivate us. Kerry is a fab instructor giving us clear instructions and guidance to improve weekly.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Mike on my Classical Pilates course with Everybodypilates which started in 2021. Due to the Covid restrictions at the time all my 1 to 1 lessons were online. Mike was very thorough in his teaching and his ability to see where improvements were needed were addressed by me even though I couldn’t see my errors, Mike’s eye for detail was very precise. When I finally got to the studio I realised that Mike’s delivery for the online 1 to 1s had made me a more efficient instructor because of his previous attention to detail. He is such an experienced teacher and his knowledge of the classical system and his precise skills are a credit to the Pilates system. Highly recommended for any Pilates sessions.”

KAY P.

“Mike is very good at listening to what his clients have to say and he responds with a programme of pilates that accommodate to his clients needs. His professional attitude and demeanour is maintained while always being pleasant and focused. He observes physical weaknesses, addresses problems and notes progress which  is valuable.”

“Anna is a wonderful pilates teacher and I love her classes. She is very experienced and knowledgeable about Classical Pilates, so you are learning and developing with every class. She is so supportive, and because gets to knows her clients so well, she is able to direct her teaching to our individual level and bodies. Anna’s classes are always relaxed and fun, and I always come away feeling well stretched and like I have had some quality ‘me’ time.”

“Anna has been teaching me pilates for several years. Her teaching skills and the ability to explain the “mechanics” of the exercises has really contributed to my progress in terms of strength, balance and posture. Anna’s relaxed tyle and positive personality, coupled with her in depth knowledge of pilates ensures that I look forward to, and enjoy, every weekly session.”

“Audrey is an amazing person. Listens to any concerns I have that day and we adapt to make sure I feel safe and comfortable. Having chronic illnesses and doing any type of exercise makes me nervous, but this is put at ease as soon as I’m with Audrey. We always have fun and a laugh, and I’ve made so much progress! And it’s all because of Audrey over the last couple of years. Thank you!!”
