The Clinical Pilates Studio

Mary is so knowledgeable and her sessions are really helpful and fun. I would highly recommend her!!

The course was excellent. The planning and preparation work complimented the on line sessions perfectly. Mary is a source of in-depth knowledge and professionalism within this subject matter and I look forward to doing some more training with her in the future.

I can't recommend Mary's teaching highly enough. She is a highly skilled practitioner with many years of experience and her movement guidance is consistently insightful, constructive and proactive. In my one-to-one sessions, I feel confident and inspired. Following Mary's instruction both in the studio and in my daily life has enabled me to take back control of my movement and adopt a whole new approach to my body and my experience of pain.

I have been seeing Mary following some ligament surgery to my knee. She has been instrumental in my recovery & rehabilitation. I also do one of her classes which helps enormously. Mary has a wealth of experience, and is always so kind & understanding. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Having recently attended the Reconnect to The Pelvic Floor course, I can honestly say that Mary Thornton is a fabulous educator.Mary’s courses are packed with exercises that are backed via the theory & research.Being on the course has not only enabled me to understand the changes within my own body, but to also share the knowledge I have gained with participants within my classes.I felt comfortable to ask questions & to share my experiences. Mary is very supportive & has a fantastic teaching style.You will gain so much more knowledge & understanding by attending this course & thoroughly recommend this course.Thank you Maryx

I have attended Mary's classes in the studio over the years and it has kept me mobile after a long history. Now, in lockdown, Mary has developed her online classes on Zoom which I consider a highlight in my week. Her classes are both friendly and as challenging as each person feels able to manage. Her style and technique allow everyone to enjoy and participate. She also has some wonderful classes on YouTube. As a physiotherapist she knows exactly which movements suit each individual so the class is personal as well as all encompassing. I am so grateful for Mary and know that we are very lucky to have her. A light in this dark time to keep us all going. Thank you, Mary

I have benefitted considerably from Mary's understanding care and recommendations for exercise. I initially saw Mary because of a spinal fracture and I still follow her practical advice and exercises and my spine/posture is definitely improving, something I was told by the MSK consultant wouldn't happen. I also regularly attend one of her classes and find it great fun and extremely helpful. I always leave her sessions feeling happy and positive.

I have been to classes and one to one consultations at the Clinical Pilates studio since having a baby, both have been fantastic! Mary is very knowledgeable and experienced, and has really helped me with my postnatal recovery and general fitness.

I have been going to Mary for 14 years. She is a very knowledgable, dedicated, and inspirational teacher. She is always so supportive and empathetic to how one is feeling. She has prepared me for, and helped me recuperate from a hip replacement very successfully. I feel so much better after my mat work classes and my sessions using equipment in her studio. She has seamlessly adapted to online teaching during the epidemic which has been a godsend.

Mary is a superb pilates teacher - encouraging, kind and totally knowledgeable and professional. I always enjoy her classes and feel really good afterwards.
