Testimonials
“Wendy’s classes are the perfect antidote to a hectic working week. She manages to allow us the mental space to breathe and stretch whilst also challenging us to build on and develop new Pilates moves. What’s more, I no longer suffer from lower back pain…brilliant!”
“I joined Wendy’s classes last winter, and after four months have found that problems with my stiff back and right leg have diminished considerably. I am regularly the only man in Wendy’s classes, but can recommend them for all mature gents whose mobility and flexibility is perhaps deteriorating a little. Pilates is definitely not just for ladies!!”
“Wendy’s Pilates classes are well-paced, thoughtfully planned and always helpful in loosening up and stretching stiff muscles…they work well on Zoom, so we’ve been able to access them from all over the world when we travel.”
“I have done Pilates with Wendy on a one-to-one basis on Zoom for a few years. Wendy is very professional and knowledgeable. She is very caring and understanding of any physical limitations. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her as a first-class Pilates teacher.”
“Pilates with Wendy always makes me feel relaxed and much more flexible! Her guidance is very clear and she gives other options if you can’t manage a particular stretch/movement. Thanks Wendy, your sessions really help with my joint problems.”
“I’ve been attending Wendy’s Pilates classes for almost six years now. As someone who has a prolapsed disc and has suffered back pain for many years, when moving to Basingstoke I was anxious about finding the right Pilates teacher. I found Wendy via www.bodycontrolpilates.com and haven’t looked back!
Wendy is so mindful of injuries and adapts exercises and classes to accommodate these. She is welcoming to new members, talks through every routine, and ensures we are all doing the right moves. I haven’t suffered from back pain since moving to Basingstoke and I put that down to Wendy’s classes and diligence. I couldn’t recommend Wendy highly enough!”

“I really enjoy Wendy’s Pilates classes – she has a very calming manner and is very careful to ensure that each individual attendee’s needs are met.”
“I highly recommend Wendy as her Pilates classes are for everyone, adapted to individual needs and taught in a progressive way so you do more than you think you can and gain all round (and core) strength which has kept me free from back pain, and helped me improve from injury. Fun classes, relaxed atmosphere, fantastic teacher!”
“Before I joined Wendy’s Zoom Pilates classes, I was rather doubtful that remote sessions would be effective. However, I’ve found that Wendy’s instructions are so clear and precise that I can be confident that I am carrying out the exercises correctly. I feel wonderfully exercised and stretched after each session and I think my posture has improved as a result.”
“I have been doing Pilates with Wendy for 5 years now. When I started I was pregnant as I suffered from a bad back. Wendy is, and always has been, very accommodating and, despite me initially joining a group session, made sure exercises were switched up to suit my situation. I’m not sure I would have got through pregnancy without these sessions!
I have been doing 1-2-1s for some time now, the sessions are fantastic and I have noticed a huge difference in my strength and general Pilates technique. The sessions not only improve my physique but help with general comfort for my back and muscles. If there are things that I particularly want to focus on for a session, then there is always tonnes of flexibility to accommodate what I require on that day. I would highly recommend Wendy’s sessions.”

“I’ve been attending Wendy’s Pilates class on a weekly basis since receiving a term of classes as a gift about four years ago. The classes are different each week, allowing you to do as much as you can or want to do, and always fun. Nice to have a break at half-term, but always enjoy boing back to get those muscles stretched out and working.”
“I love Wendy’s classes as she always talks us through the exercises in detail. ‘Do X but mind that Y doesn’t happen.’ This means that we always get the most out of every exercise we do. I always feel thoroughly stretched at the end of a class!”
“I had been looking for a Pilates class for ages so I was very glad to find Wendy! I’m no spring chicken but Wendy assured me that age doesn’t matter in Pilates. I find the classes very enjoyable and I’m always made to feel welcome. Wendy teaches clearly and will always help you out if you’re finding something difficult. Having said that, the moves are easy to follow and you can feel it doing you good!”
“I’m a new joiner to Pilates and Wendy has been so welcoming and very knowledgeable, explaining the class formats and how best to participate for my level of fitness and Pilates competence. I’ve seen an immediate benefit in my posture and core strength, with Wendy taking time to provide tailored guidance. I am really enjoying the classes and highly recommend them.”
“I have been attending Wendy’s classes for a number of years and find they are a real benefit to me, both mentally and physically. I would really recommend Wendy as a teacher because she is sympathetic but pushes you when she knows you are capable!”
“I love Wendy’s classes. She is a great teacher. So patient and really understanding of all needs. I have really benefited with core and other strengths. I really believe this is such a benefit for all sorts of things and hope that people will realise said benefits.”
“Wendy is a great teacher. Classes are designed to help with our medical conditions. We have fun and I always leave feeling better. I would highly recommend her.”
“I started doing Pilates with Wendy when I had back problems about four years ago. The back problems are now better but Wendy has certainly helped me with flexibility ever since and it was wonderful to have her support all through lockdown using Zoom.”
“I was looking for something gentle but effective for my arthritic hip and found it with Pilates. Wendy has clear instructions and is very patient, a good workout without the sweat and tears!”
“Our Pilates classes with Wendy, who is extremely professional, are very rewarding, well taught and enjoyable. Wendy is very good, not only does she keep to time as some have to go to different commitments, but she will take time to help if you have a particular problem. I always look forward to our classes and I highly recommend them.”
“I really enjoy Wendy’s Pilates classes! Having a few movement problems, I go to the class where I can sit, stand or use the floor for exercising depending entirely on how I feel, and that flexibility of choice is important. Wendy’s style of teaching is good as she demonstrates and helps individuals when necessary. I am gaining more and more flexibility and inner strength as time goes on and will definitely continue for the foreseeable future!”
“I find Wendy has a very calm manner and cares about her clients getting a good experience of her classes. The number of people in the class is kept low so that Wendy can give individual attention. The exercises are gentle but, come the following day, I know I have had a good stretch and work out! I would highly recommend the classes and find everyone there very friendly.”
“Wendy’s classes are always fun to be part of. She is very attentive to individual needs and makes sure we are all placing ourselves correctly to get the most out of each exercise. I have been coming to these classes almost eight years and have noticed great improvement in my suppleness. Thank you Wendy!”
