Testimonials
Nada
Nada suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome and joint pain.
Pilates classes she tried previously were much more fitness-focused and didn’t do much to improve her conditions.
She joined my classes about a year ago. She loves the precision of movement that I teach and now feels much stronger.
Laura
Elena's programme is excellent! I work in an office and I sit down for 8 hours or more a day. For the last few years I've been suffering from leg numbness. Elena's classes truly help my body move in varied ways that I wouldn't usually do e.g. rotations in hip joint, and that really helps to release pressure from my sciatic nerve. I highly recommend Elena as your teacher, she makes the classes so enjoyable and you learn so much about your body! 10/10!
Kelly Tassi
I always look forward to every session with Elena. Having been a proponent of high-intensity exercise for years, Elena’s classes complement HIIT and running perfectly and helped me become stronger, more flexible, perform better and recover faster. Short daily sessions are perfect to do “on the go”. Longer classes are fun but challenging and I can feel my body improving from week to week. Elena is very knowledgeable and thorough instructor and every class has a very nice flow with a great combination of strength and flexibility postures. Move & Reboot Pilates is a must for me!
Nigel
Nigel has been attending group classes twice a week for over 6 months. I love his very honest and understated testimony because it fully aligns with my philosophy and promise to you:
I don’t have a magic exercise that will “fix” you in one week, but with consistency and commitment, you will see steady progress, which will stay with you for life!
Louise Jones
Within just two weeks I already started to feel the difference and now, after a couple of months, I can not only see that I am standing better, but I have zero back pain!! I can get up and out of bed in the morning, without any pain – I never thought I would feel that way again.
Nicola Kaye
Elena has a great way of explaining things and she works with each individual's limitations. Where certain moves or postures are too difficult for someone, she will always find alternatives that work. Gone are my concerns from previous classes elsewhere, where I have often felt discouraged by my inability to 'perform' a certain move or posture. I've really noticed the difference since taking it up and, touch wood, have been injury free since March, despite doing more running and cycling than ever!
Frequently Asked Questions:
-
I can’t repeat it too many times: when it comes to treating lower back pain consistency is the king!
Your problem didn’t happen overnight: for years before you ever felt any pain, your body has been shaped and moulded by your postural habits.
Staying in one position for long periods means that muscles and tissues adapt to that position by “fixing it”, making it fairly permanent. For example, when you spend a lot of time sitting, muscles at the back of your body become long and weak and muscles at the front become short and tight. When you finally stand up, your body still retains that shape, without your realising. This puts increased pressure on your spinal disks. Over time this can lead to disk bulges and even bursts.
Sounds scary? No need to worry! This can be reversed through consistent behaviour change: i.e. regular movement breaks.

The short answer is: forever. But don’t despair! The minimum commitment to the programme is 5 weeks. Why? Based on our work with many, many clients it takes a minimum of 5 weeks to start feeling meaningful difference to your symptoms.
However, that’s not all! After 5 weeks you start liking it!! Yes, that’s right! Your body starts developing a habit of getting its daily movement snack and it starts craving it. After 5 weeks you can either continue with us for as long as you wish or break away and go on your own.

Yes, that’s true, these days we are literally drowning in a sea of freely available information. There is so much of it, that most of us eventually get confused and give up.
It takes years and years of education and experience to effectively filter that information.
You can spend months following leads without getting any results or you can trust the experts and get the result you are after with a minimal investment of time.
-
There are plenty of pre-recorded programmes out there. We don’t sell videos. You can get through for free on the internet. Our programmes are taught live.
This means we keep you accountable for showing up every day. This means there is always back and forth communication between us and other group members. During the programme, you can reach out to us at any time with any concerns or questions (..unless it’s a question of what to do about your ex, in which case you are on your own…).
Not only it has a completely different energy, but more importantly, it motivates you to show up: day after day.
-
Unlike 1:1 physio appointments, our programmes are group-based. They are designed to be safe and effective for people with most back pain related issues.
It is important to have an individual diagnosis and treatment plan, however, we know that when it comes to treating back pain, consistency is the king. Without actually doing the exercises daily over a significant of time any positive outcome of treatment is likely to be short-lived.
Move & Reboot programmes will complement and enhance any routine that you currently follow and prevent your back pain from getting any worse.
