LifeWorks with Karen & LifeWorks Studio Avis 

I've been a member of Lifeworks with Karen since the start and don't know how I would manage without her and her amazing classes.

Karen is so much more than a fitness instructor however she is brilliant at that and at giving clear instruction and guidance and ensuring she knows about any previous injuries / surgeries or niggles. She tailors her classes to suit everyone and is constantly checking very subtly so as not to embarrass that the correct techniques are being used.

She is also a life coach and I have attended a couple of her group coaching sessions during Covid when her expertise and her way of gently reframing things to help thinking really came into play.

I cannot recommend her enough. Just give her a call and feel confident that you've taken the very best first step.

I really enjoy Karen’s Pilates classes. She is a very knowledgeable instructor & knows our strengths. She works us hard whilst making the classes good fun.

Great instructor (Nicky). Very motivational and knows her stuff

Really enjoyable class, Hayley has a lovely way of sharing her Yoga knowledge and I felt very comfortable.

Wanted to try as a form of flexibility exercise as have several joint problems, struggle with leg crossing but was encouraged, very much at my pace.

My daughter and I attended the class , it was our first time trying Pilates .
The group was not too big (8) Karen the instructor made us feel welcome and we both really enjoyed the session .
We will be back after our holiday

I approached Karen as struggling with pain and mobility in my hips, it was really getting me down.
I have received personal support from her and have joined the Pilates classes and soul circle.
I feel welcomed and certain that I will feel an improvement in my health and strength .

Excellent, encouraging classes, though they are hard work - but that’s the point I guess. Karen is always very supportive, even though I’m quite a way behind the others!

Lovely group, great teacher and alot of fun.

Karen has a knack of exercising each individual to the max while making it fun at the same time so you come home feeling refreshed and energised.

This was a wonderful two hours in a lovely studio, held by a sensitive, experienced space holder, where five of us shared a sound bath, breath work and cacao ritual. This is my second experience and I have already booked my third. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I signed up to the Soul Circle class with Louisa in order to learn some breathing techniques, but was pleasantly surprised that it was so much more than that. The class was women only, there were only 5 of us, so very intimate. We were able to share our stories in a safe and nurturing environment with no judgement.
I’m almost loathed to give it a review, as it felt like a really special secret club! I did attend with a friend, but felt a strong bond with everyone in the room by the time we finished. The breath work was profound… just amazing. I will definitely come again. Thanks so much, Louisa, and thank you Karen for telling me all about it when I bumped into you in the Tesco’s car park! 😀💕

It was a great experience, I still felt the exercise, up to three days after and that was just a taster session. I really felt it in my core.

Karen creates a warm and welcoming environment; she leads the class in a positive way and the session leaves you feeling confident that you have completed a great workout to the best of your ability.

I had a wonderful experience in the Soul Retreat session with Louisa last weekend. I felt so relaxed and balanced after the session.

Amazing experience, felt amazing afterwords. Gave 4 just because I got triggered, I should have mentioned some of my mental health

The classes at Lifeworks are just great. A nice variety from Pilates, yoga, strength work to breathwork. The classes are never too big and the teachers are great and always attentive and offering alternative moves if needed. There is a lovely Lifeworks community and I definitely recommend their classes.

Love love love Karen's pilate classes. First time in what seems like years that I managed to join one of her in-person classes. And I'll make sure it is the first of many. She is so so GOOD at explaining every movement, taking into consideration everyone's level and ability to follow (remember in my case) instructions. Karen's so observant and considerate, gently suggesting improvements, helping you focus and really push yourself. Such a wonderfully welcoming and kind teacher. Felt incredible after the class.

I love my classes with karen. The studio is clean, bright and the music always makes you hum along. Helpful when exercise is not a natural activity. Karen is enthusiastic, friendly and fun. Go along you enjoy it

Karen is great - a genuinely knowledgable and fun instructor, who seems to find a way to make it appropriate (and challenging) for everyone. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a friendly, supportive environment in which to meet your fitness goals (whatever they may be).
