I've been attending Dawn’s Pilates classes since 2018, but for the last two years, I've had the privilege of working privately with her due to a lower back injury and issues with hyper-mobility.

Dawn is an extraordinary instructor. Her depth of knowledge is immediately evident, and her ability to adapt each session to my specific needs on any given day is unparalleled. Whether I'm having a good day or dealing with limitations, Dawn tailors every exercise to ensure I’m both challenged and supported.

Her direct approach keeps me focused, but it’s her sense of humor that makes every session enjoyable, even when she's pushing me to do things I didn’t think I could. Dawn’s expertise combined with her unique ability to make each class engaging and effective has been instrumental in my recovery and overall fitness journey.

If you’re looking for an instructor who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely invested in your progress, I cannot recommend Dawn highly enough. She’s truly one of a kind!

Dawn has a wealth of experience and is an excellent teacher. I highly recommend her classes to both beginners and those with experience as she caters for everyone. I have really benefitted and got stronger, toned up and become more flexible /mobile from attending Dawn's classes. They also help improve your mental health and well-being. Plus her classes are always fun as she has a great sense of humour which is a bonus.

I have been having one on one sessions with Dawn for 4 months. I started with a 1 month package and was so pleased with my progress that I signed up for a further 3 month package. Dawn's attention to detail has helped me with corrective muscle use and alignment which has helped improve 2 long term injuries. In addition my body shape has improved and my strength grown considerably.

The studio is a lovely calm welcoming space. Dawn is an excellent, knowledgeable, highly experienced teacher who brings light and laughter to all she teaches.

Dawn is the BEST!

As a Pilates newbie, I went in with very little knowledge and I was a little nervous about what to expect. However, Dawn’s passion and positive energy meant that I wanted to give it a try. When doing my introduction session, she made me feel very relaxed, and she clearly explained everything I needed to know.

My first session was great! I knew the basics from the introduction session, and I also learnt new things. I have been attending Dawn’s classes for 2 months now, and I can really feel the benefits. It has improved my balance, flexibility, posture and my body looks and feels more toned.

Attending classes has also boosted my mood. It’s great fun socialising and working out as a group. It doesn’t matter what stage you’re at, Dawn makes sure everyone feels comfortable, knows what they’re doing and what you want to achieve.

I really recommend Parkstone Pilates! 😁

Having arrived at parkstone pilates as a complete novice and fairly weak following knee replacement, Dawn has worked her magic and after 10 weeks i can see/feel a huge improvement in strength and agility. Rerormer pilates is definitely accessible to everyone and i highly recommend Dawn as instructor.

Highly recommend Parkstone Pilates Studio!

Dawn is the best! As a complete newbie to Pilates, from the introductory session to the current group sessions I have been attending it has been great!

Each class, no matter the experience level, I have learnt something new and always felt so comfortable! Not only am I noticing changes in such a short space of time, it’s a really great social too!

Highly recommend Dawn and her lovely studio!

I met Dawn a year ago when I started doing hot yoga with her and did an introduction into reformer Pilates. Since then I have followed her to her beautiful studio where I attend a variety of the classes she has on offer. She is a fab instructor who is motivating, funny and has a wealth of knowledge.
