Testimonials
Sophie’s input towards my students has been tremendous and invaluable. As a dancer herself, Sophie understands the needs of my students. She has taught the importance of core strength which has helped them improve their posture and flexibility. She has explained various aspects of anatomy which helps in dancing and this has made them understand their own body movements.
As their dance teacher I can appreciate difference these sessions have made in their movements and how they execute certain steps effortlessly due to improvement in their overall strength and flexibility. Cannot thank her enough.

Denise
Our daughter is getting very valuable, practical help from Sophie to gradually build her strength and stamina as part of her recovery from Long Covid.
Sophie is able to augment and support this through an individualised and holistic approach, assessing our daughter’s current pain levels and physical capabilities currently carefully and thoroughly.
We cannot recommend Sophie highly enough. She not only has a wealth of knowledge and expertise and beautiful surroundings but is also incredibly kind and easy to talk to.
The therapy sessions are contributing to the reduction of stress, trauma and tension and are looked forward to and result in a much brighter and happier girl.

I just love my Reformer sessions with Sophie at Equilibrium. From the moment I stepped into the studio there is a relaxed, informal vibe that leaves me with a positive mindset.

It’s been nearly two years since I have been working with Sophie. Initially started through zoom lessons during covid pandemic which I enjoyed but once I started working in her studio I have truly loved each session. I used to have chronic back pain which has become significantly better.
My core strength has improved which helps my work and more importantly the endorphins released makes me happy.
Despite being with Sophie for over 2 years now I still have a sense of trepidation before each session but Sophie’s infectious smile, her enthusiasm and the elation at the end of the session makes it all worthwhile.

I started 1:1 tap lessons with Sophie having no previous dance experience. I have developed many skills and grown confidence, thanks to Sophie’s effective teaching methods and patience. I would absolutely recommend Equilibrium Chester to anyone interested.

I went to see Sophie after being diagnosed with sciatica. Sophie assessed my needs and worked out a plan to ease my pain, as well as improving my posture and flexibility.
I cannot recommend Sophie highly enough, she has a high degree of knowledge and is a professional lovely young lady. Sophie is committed to her clients.

I have been going to one to one classes with Sophie since Spring 2023. I do Reformer and Ballet. I love the fact that Sophie challenges me to push myself to the point where I’m now finding myself in remission from a long-term illness. I Absolutely love the one to one as I feel that it is tailored completely to me and my needs. Sophie fun, and we laugh, a lot! We also work very hard and I have built strength that I never thought I could. I love it.

I started Pilates with Equilibrium just over a year ago after having had a back injury. Over this time, Sophie has guided me through exercises to build up strength and develop my flexibility, which has really helped get back the mobility in my back. I have really enjoyed our sessions! Initially she was catering sessions based on my ability, whilst bearing in mind my back injury. Sophie has been patient, encouraging and motivating. She now encourages me to try new advanced exercises, which I am really enjoying! Having a busy work schedule, Sophie is very accommodating and is happy to do online and face-to-face sessions. Would recommend her to absolutely everyone who wishes to develop strength and flexibility!

I started doing Reformer Pilates with Sophie last year to strengthen my back and neck following a suspected slipped disc. The 1:1 has been fantastic, my flexibility and core strength are really improving, my partner has started to join me and is already noticing the benefits. If you’re looking for a friendly and inspiring instructor in a beautiful environment, get yourself booked in.

I started Pilates with Equilibrium with my partner to get more flexible. Since starting, I feel noticeably more limber and look forward every week to our online session. Sophie is an engaging yet relaxed instructor, and helps us both get the most out of her exercise regimens. I injured my hip a few years ago, and since starting, I’ve found it feels better thanks to the mobility and control afforded by training in Pilates. I’d absolutely recommend her classes to anyone who’s interested!
