Testimonials

What our students say

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.

Karen EcclesPilates From Within

Amy is that rare find– brilliant business woman, inspiring teacher and fabulous community builder. Whenever I visit, whether it be at her studio or conventions, I see and feel the care and confidence she instills in all of her work.

Karen Frischmann

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.

Becky

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.

Andrea Maida

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!
