What people have said about Julie...
I’ve been attending mat based Pilates classes at Physiofit since 2011 and have always found Pilates to be an excellent way of keeping strong, fit and flexible. My instructor, Julie Murgatroyd, has always been mindful of the abilities of each member of the class whilst encouraging each of us to fulfil our potential.
In 2021 I was diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatica , a condition that causes pain, stiffness and inflammation in the muscles and joints. Following my diagnosis I was struggling to maintain fitness and Julie recommended Reformer Pilates classes. Julie took it upon herself to understand my condition and with her patience, care, understanding and professionalism has been helping me through this difficult time in the Reformer class.
My fitness has improved generally and my strength in particular and Julie has shown me that there is a way through this and with her encouragement I know that I will continue to improve as she has not only had an impact on my physical health but also my mental health. I found that loosing my fitness made me feel very gloomy, however, with the improvements I am seeing, thanks to Julie, my outlook has become much more positive. I now feel empowered to work to regain my strength and fitness to pre- diagnosis levels.- Susan. Feb 2022
