Community {{Testimonials}}

Don’t just take our word for it, here’s why our graduates love Body Maestro

I have been doing Renee’s classes for 15 years now and they continue to be enjoyable as well as challenging. Renee is an excellent teacher, with a dance back ground she really understands the body and her teaching is creative with a great flow to it. She has taught me through 3 pregnancies and postnatal stages, tailoring her exercises to personal specific needs.

I’ve been working with Renee for 15 years, she is so passionate about Pilates … Her attention to detail and the quality of her work and courses are amazing! Best of the best!

I have recently completed Body Maestro’s online Pilates Reformer course and I can’t recommend this highly enough! I’ve completed over 1500hours of Yoga and Pilates training and this has been one of my favourites!

The structure of the course is extremely easy to follow and Renee teaches everything in a very clear, concise way. Her energy is engaging and her passion is inspiring and infectious!

I’ve already taught 2 classes not even a week after completion and feedback has been great! Living in a rural town, online is the best option for me, so I am very grateful for this affordable, easily accessible and comprehensive training!

Thanks so much Renee! My boss Narella from Club Aquarius did your Barre Attack course 20years ago! It’s a testament to you and your product that it is still going strong and expanding all these years on !

Renee is a truly brilliant teacher. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I did Renee's Barre Attack course a few years ago and loved it! The course was really easy to follow with the way it was structured and I felt capable and confident to teach classes straight away. I'm now doing the Body Maestro by Renee reformer course and it's amazing. The structure is the same as Barre Attack which is making it so much easier to navigate. Renee has such a wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise ☺️💛

I have recently completed Renee’s Reformer Pilates course and as always it was exceptional and of a very high standard. I love Renee’s block system as it makes the exercises easier to learn. Her

demonstrations are clear and easy to understand. Highly recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and the best part is, that you can go at your own pace, no pressure whatsoever.

Your number one fan.

Cath A 😊💐

I recently completed the Reformer Pilates course and couldn't be happier with my experience and purchase. Renee's block method is very unique and easy to follow. It makes class planning a breeze. After much research, there are a lot of courses on the market for Reformer, but this is honestly the only one you need! I highly recommend it.
