"Looking forward to more sessions in the coming weeks"

Great session with Priscilla. It’s nice to be able to continue with weekly pilates sessions during this period. Self practice takes alot of discipline and sometimes I just run out of ideas what to do. Now I simply book a class and I’m guaranteed a good hour of workout with clear instructions…no muscle is left out! Looking forward to more sessions in the coming weeks.

"If I were not at home I would hv thought I was at the studio"

I jus want to drop you a note to thank u for setting up the online classes. I attended Tabby’s wed barre class and Jane’s sat shoulder and hip class. Both classes were great! The teachers were very professional and honestly if I were not at home I would hv thought I was at the studio – the quality of instruction was as gd as if we were having face to face classes in the studio. Granted there are limitations of online classes but I feel the teachers were doing their best to observe and correct our postures.

I worked up to a sweat and felt my muscles stretched but sore – something I hvnt felt in a while.
Thanks once again and I look forward to attending other classes!

"An effective stretch to move every part of your spine after long hours sitting at your desk"

If you’re looking for an effective stretch to move every part of your spine after long hours sitting at your desk, this class surely will help you a lot. It involves a lot of nice stretches and I feel I can release a lot of tensions in my body afterwards.

"My spine felt liberated after the session"

Unwind the Spine was not a fast pace or high intensity session. Instead we were guided through a series of movements to stretch and lengthen our spine and other parts of the body affecting the tightness in our back. This might sound odd but my spine (or I) felt liberated after the session. A nice way to end the day or the week. Thanks, Kris!

"Daniel’s acute attention to detail provided correction and the small class means we can perform advance moves safely"

Before the Circuit Breaker, I have been attending Daniel’s SAM class on every Wednesday at the studio. Today, I am grateful that I can attend the online class for me to continue my quest for handstand. We worked at strengthening the shoulder girdle and wrists, and spent a lot of time to stretch the forearm – which is essential to prepare for handstand. Daniel’s acute attention to detail provided correction and the small class means we can perform advance moves safely. Join us every Wednesday at 8am.

"Bodytree Pilates is not just a typical fitness company"

Tabitha is a very professional trainer. Well knowledge in body anatomy and alignment, hard working and truly cares about people. In group classes, she always make sure she finds time to chat with students after the workout is completed. A friendly and encouraging teacher that teaches us patience and self love. One of her main teaching is small efforts goes a long way.
Indeed if we rush for results, got injured we will have to rest and recover, taking us many steps back.
To go further into learning fitness, I decided to go for private personal training where the trainer understand your problems and limitations as well as strengths to create a customised plan. I understand what all of you might be thinking. Personal training?! Isn't it expensive? Are you sure? Group classes can workout too. Let me say it clearly, it was the best decision I ever made.
Bodytree Pilates is not just a typical fitness company, they are a holistic fitness and wellness studio where trainers have a real calling to help improve lives.
It not only helped me attain my fitness goals but also my long term gastric issues. Wait what? gastric isn't that for doctors? Let me explain.
From Tabitha’s simple ” how are you feeling?” question, I shared my problems. Tabitha listened to my woes and with her good knowledge of holistic wellness, I was recommended to a pain relief clinic.
To put things into context, I had gastric issues since 14 years old and for more than 10 years of visiting specialised gastrology clinics and endoscopies, no doctors could tell me what is wrong. All I was given is medicine to ease the symptoms. Of course eventually, no medicine worked.
The simple act of listening and caring from my trainer freed me from belief that I will never find health and led a normal life. It was simply just gluten intolerance (Celiac disease) and I am actually a healthy young person!
Bodytree trainers indeed have big pool of knowledge and it is worth the personal training price.
Onto the topic of fitness, I found out that what i have been doing was against my body type/condition. From the first few P.T sessions, Tabitha was able to assess that I am a very mobile body and that is why I always get injured with workouts at home or even guided yoga studios. What I need is to strengthen endurance muscles that are useful in holding postures and simple day to day activities, muscles that we never know about, rather than big muscles with big movements that we know of normally. Example a bird dog pose hold versus a burpee.
Would you imagine a holding pose on a mat could be harder than a burpee? Neither was I! Thanks to the good knowledge of my trainer on body anatomy, I could gear myself to a strong body now that I have the right direction.
I truly hope for more people to question and probe more in their health and well being. The freedom to health is so precious, no money or job promotion can replace health and wellness. With health, money and job fulfilment will eventually come, have patience and have love yourself.
I highly recommend trying out Bodytree group as it is definitely a good place to start understanding your problems and then treating them.
Lastly, cheers and a big thank you to Tabitha whom helped me find solutions to my body issues, giving me confidence and hope for the future!

"Happy to report it was thoroughly enjoyable"

Really enjoyed the online class experience. Have to admit that I was skeptical initially as I imagined virtual class won’t give me as much as actual classes could with teachers correcting your movement verbally and physically. Happy to report it was thoroughly enjoyable. Daniel was quite clear about everything from the start till the end and catch even small details of my movement. While I do miss physical presence of teachers, this is the best class we could get under this unprecedented pandemic situation. Thank you Daniel!

"That was one sweaty workout….."

That was one sweaty workout….. and was my 5th today.
So I was like half alive.
It was a good practice & the lifting off leg is tough.
Good to see you again & will meet on your next Zoom.
Miss you & take care.:‑X

"I like the privacy but kinda miss the peer pressure hahah"

Hi Vera,
I am very happy to be able to get back to my Pilates routines. Sharing with you my views of the pros and cons of online classes from my perspective:
– Save on the traveling time, great
– Limited equipment at home, need to improvise
– Communication with teacher is at a distance, not sure if u could hear or see me clearly. I managed to fix my screen mirror issue so I should be able to see teacher n the movements better in the next classes
– Limited feedback to check posture n movements. I miss the mirrors in the studio. Will try to set up 1 at home. But will help if teacher give more feedback.
– I like the privacy but kinda miss the peer pressure hahah

Overall, it’s a good start. My back (between the scapulas) already started aching this morning 🙂

"It was my first online session, and much better than I expected."

It was my first online session, and much better than I expected. I was worried about how different it’s from offline class, but quite easy to follow the movement or check my postures via screen, and most importantly great encouragement for me to stretch myself a little bit more, which I can’t do so by myself. Looking forward to having next session.

"My whole body is energized now"

Looking forward to the next class.

"Her instructions are always so clear that I feel there is not much difference to being in the studio."

Ever since the virus hit the world, I have been stopping my pilates class. It has been a good 3 months that I have not been attending classes. The fact that PBT offers these online classes is really good and makes me feel motivated to go back to the usual healthy routine. Wanting to start slow, I tried the Stretch Flow class with Priscilla. She is really good and her instructions are always so clear that I feel there is not much difference to being in the studio. After 1 lesson with her, I feel much better with the aching back as a result of WFH during this period. Body isn’t so tense and tight after the workout. And I sure know where are my pain points and weak points that I have to work on. Looking forward to the next Stretch Flow Class with her!

Thanks Priscilla! 🙂

"He was able to navigate and correct every one of us when required"

Absolutely enjoyed the class – it was as tough as working out with Daniel in the studio. He was able to navigate and correct every one of us when required. Looking forward to the next progression and work my way to an effortless handstand! 😉

"I don’t know how nothing goes past her eyes, even online!"

"Kris was very clear with her verbal instructions so the class was easy to follow. She also made corrections on my movements – I don’t know how nothing goes past her eyes, even online!

"Your instruction are very clear."

This is my very 1St lesson on barre cardio.
I enjoy it very much & your instruction are very clear. It really burn the butts while on the standing pose.
Great that PBT have this online group practice.
Keep the good work.

"Burned my glutes, quads and upper arms big time."

The class was great and burned my glutes, quads and upper arms big time.

"I will most definitely attend this class again."

Great class! I have been looking for ways to increase mobility in my thoracic spine. The exercises were really effective in helping me recruit all relevant muscles required to build strength and flexibility in the middle and upper back. Tabitha always provided the right verbal cues to help me go further when she thought I could. I will most definitely attend this class again.

"I honestly thought this was fantastic!"

Hi Daniel, thanks for the handstand beginner class this morning. I honestly thought this was fantastic! I never imagined it would be possible to provide individualised coaching using Zoom. Honestly thought there would be a cast of thousands in the class and I could hide in the back row 😅. But I was really pleased to have such clear guidance remotely. I did learn that it’s not a good idea to have my dirty feet on a white wall though…Next time I’m wearing socks 🤣

Hopefully my shoulder can hold up for another session. The warm up works really well for me. Thanks again
