Testimonials

  • “Diana is a highly talented, intuitive, multi-disciplinary trainer and teacher. She constructs a programme to work with you and your changing needs. For the past five years, we have done a mix of fitness training, Pilates, massage and zero balancing. She always makes the workout interesting, challenging and fun. Diana is lovely to work with and never lets you down. I highly recommend her.”

    Kirsten Harle Pilates Teacher



    “I have known Diana for over 10 years and it is a wonderful friendship. She is a very reliable and excellent trainer. Her exercises and treatments are extremely helpful to me physically and mentally. Long may it last.”

    “Opening the door to Diana on a dark, miserable day is like letting in a fresh spring breeze. Her warmth and enthusiasm for teaching Pilates is fabulous and effective – try her and see. You won’t regret it.”

    E Harrison Retired costume designer



    “I positively look forward to my weekly antenatal class with Diana. Both baby and I have definitely benefited from the classes and, being pregnant, I always feel in very safe hands as each exercise is closely monitored on a weekly basis. Every week the session is slightly varied which keeps interest and motivation levels high – the hour just passes by in a flash. I always leave feeling physically and mentally energised topped off with a good dose of happy endorphins! I'm now looking forward to Diana getting me back into shape once the baby has arrived.”

    “Diana West has been my personal trainer for more than 10 years. She has kept me fit and interested enough to persevere with the gym where other trainers have failed. Diana has helped me achieve my fitness goals and I could not recommend her more highly.”

    Jenny Dowling Cookery Teacher



    "Thank goodness Diana introduced me to Pilates some 12 years ago. Now in my mid-sixties, my body and quality of life continue to benefit from our weekly sessions. Always positive and professional, Diana has the ability to customise her sessions to individual clients' needs and abilities. I recommend her highly."

    Martin Wood Retired CEO



    "I already knew Diana as a highly qualified pilates instructor and personal trainer but it wasn't until I injured my shoulder that I learnt about her other skills. Visits to an osteopath and chiropractor had helped to some extent but it was a combination of Zero Balancing, which I knew nothing about, and sports massage that really did the trick. A lesson in anatomical knowledge delivered with a smile, grace and professional skill - I know where to go next time. Thank you Diana!!!"

    Peter Rogers Film Producer



    "I have unreserved praise for Diana's coaching and teaching skills; her variety of experience, her constant positive encouragement mixed with new challenge, and her very practical approach to individual circumstances and exercise needs. My only regret is not meeting her sooner."
