INTRODUCING CHRIS

Chris Thompson has been practising Pilates since 2002 and completed training with Body Control in 2014 as a Pilates and Reformer Certified Teacher, and is qualified to teach Matwork Pilates.

As member of The Body Control Pilates Association (BCPA), Europe’s largest professional Pilates body, Chris participates in annual development programmes to continually improve and develop her knowledge and skills.

Chris offers regular classes that run alongside school term times, where sizes are strictly set to a maximum of 12 and are very much ‘hands on’ to ensure correct alignment and posture at all times. Private sessions can be booked for yourself or to share one with a partner or friend.

Attention to detail is the key to getting the most from your classes, but I also believe they should be friendly and enjoyable!

I firmly believe that you have to give a little back to your body to get the most out of it. I am a mum, a runner, a tennis player, a cyclist, a skier and a dog walker. All of these have made me really appreciate the value of doing Pilates on a regular basis. Like lots of people, I found that as I got a bit older doing sports and life got harder on my body, and I started to get niggling aches and stiffness. Pilates has enabled me to manage my own body without giving up the activities I love, and that is a real inspiration in my teaching.

The 8 Principles of BC Pilates

Very clear instruction and careful observation that exercises are being carried out correctly. I have been working on exercises I can remember in between classes and already feeling good results. Venue is lovely as the hall has recently been renovated and is warm. Chris inspires her clients to want to do their very best! ( G.F.)

Brilliant mens class on a Thursday evening. Highly recommend Chris and her approach to Pilates. (Mr M.H November - 2019)

Mr M.H
Have only been doing Pilates with Chris for 4 weeks, but I am impressed by how she is able to have several students with different problems and have them all doing exercises that are right for them. So far, I feel great the day after my class and only wish I could remember the exercises to do at home. Hopefully that will come with time. ( J.F.)

I love my pilates class with Chris from Zoetic. As a relative 'newbe' I was slightly anxious that I wouldn't be able to keep up, but Chris explains everything in a clear and friendly fashion and within a few weeks I was attempting the slightly more advanced movements. I thoroughly recommend the class. (Anne)

I haven't been to Zoetic Pilates before Chris began these classes, but now I am hooked! It's fun but serious as well, as we make our bodies work to get stronger and more supple!! Definitely to be continued! ( M.J-D.)

"The "Boys" classes on Thursdays are a highlight of the week. Chris' enthusiasm, patience and expert teaching is really helping my creaking joints to move freely again. It is also great fun and a relaxing atmosphere after a long day ( Mr.I.)
