What people say about Karen:
"Overall, I would encourage interested people with difficulties in balancing to explore this class.
I have been attending Epsom Strength and Balance, Wednesday class. When I started, I had real difficulty in balancing, requiring walking poles and now no longer need to use walking poles.
This is a great improvement.
The class has been useful. I found understanding the movements hard, though it has become easier over the sessions. …
I recommend that people who are interested in joining talk with Karen to discuss their learning needs and style."

"Thanks for the class today! ... 'The Strength & Balance class has helped me enormously. I was at low ebb before that, with a progressive hip and leg problem worsening. It frustrated me that I could no longer do Pilates, which I used to enjoy, as I couldn't get up off the mat!
We use chairs for support, but the exercises in the class are by no means a doddle. But I don't ache nearly as much as I did when I started, and the classes energise me, rather than tire me out.
I'd recommend them to anyone who's looking for a way back into exercising after a setback", Julia F

"I joined ESB about four or five months ago and find it is such a friendly class. Karen motivates us to do our best and although it is hard work it is so rewarding.
It has helped with my flexibility and I can now bend my knees which wasn’t possible last year due to my osteoarthritis. My balance is also better which has given me confidence that I can improve my condition. I try and do some of the exercises at home as this is the best way to get the most out of the classes. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to improve balance, posture and their confidence", Jo H

"Thanks to your encouragement/expertise my balance is certainly tons better than it was when I first came to your classes... I feel confident that when I take time to get from A to B without going mad & rushing especially on curbs & steps I should be okay.
Thanks for all your help in the past. I know where I can find you... ", Racheal R
