    As “old crocks” in our mid 60’s the wife and I decided to try Pilates. My wife suffers from Scleroderma and I have had back problems for s number of years. After less than 6 months, all I can say is “what a difference” Of course there is no cure to Scleroderma but my wife is much stronger, can get down and up off the matt without help and her joints are more flexible.And as for myself, I can go for an hours walk along the streets and get home with no back discomfort at all. I have not had an ounce of back problem for nearly 4 months and as Pilates strengthens my core so any chance of backache disappears into the distant past. If I had known 3 years ago what I now know I would never have waited do long to put myself into Bianca’s hand.

      Well I like to say that a Wednesday at 6 at Mint Condition studio is my little piece of heaven.Since discovering the benefits of pilates, my life has changed quite a bit. I first started with pilates in a gym, in a class environment, which worked pretty well at the time because the instructor kind of gave me the extra attention that I required. I guess that I should enlighten you to the fact that I have a disability – cerebral palsy. For those who are not aware, it is a disability which affects people differently. I am one of the very fortunate, I only have to deal with stiff muscles and this is irritated by the cold or stress and effort of getting around.Since starting my one-on-one classes at Mint Condition, I have been able to manage my stress more effectively and am also able to move with more ease as my range of movement has increased. I really just want the ability to move with more ease and I know that I am getting just that, and more from my sessions. Oh, and being a woman, we all want beautiful bodies, and I can see the changes. So that is a bonus.

          Hi Bianca, Just a short note to thank you so much for letting me join the classes while here on holiday. I was impressed with both your knowledge of Pilates as well as of the human body. You were a really patient teacher and explained everything so clearly. Once again many thanks. Please feel free to use this as a reference if you wish; I wish you well with your pregnancy and the new baby. Hope to see you again when I’m next in South Africa
