The MENEZES METHOD is vastly different to regular pilates in many respects –
e.g. We use the B-Line® not ‘navel to spine’, Stable Spine(TM) (as opposed to Neutral Spine), The Performer® – a new concept in rotational movement using the Pilates reformer, with movements based on the Art of Contrology®. Our unique SpinalCore® system of exercises to strengthen your core and stabilise your spine.
What stands out about Allan is that he doesn't take a one-size-fits-all approach. He carefully assesses each person's needs and designs exercises specifically for us, making every session both effective and challenging in the right way.
After three months, I feel noticeably stronger, my core stability has improved, and my lower back pain has significantly reduced. Allan is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping his clients achieve long-term results.
I highly recommend Allan to anyone looking to improve their strength, mobility, or recover from back issues through a personalised Pilates program.
Allan is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his work. His attention to detail throughout the session was awe inspiring.
I’m incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to learn from someone with great experience in injury and rehabilitation.
Thank you for having me in the studio!
What truly sets Alan apart is his attention to detail. He notices the smallest adjustments in posture and movement, and those small corrections make a huge difference. I have tried other classes before, but nothing compares to the level of care and expertise he brings. It genuinely feels like he works magic, especially when I walk in with discomfort and leave feeling lighter, stronger, and more aligned.
I drive nearly an hour each way, twice a week, just to attend his classes, and that alone says everything. It is absolutely worth the time and effort. The improvement in my back pain has been remarkable, and beyond that, I feel more connected to my body and more confident in how I move day to day.
The atmosphere in the class is also welcoming and supportive. Alan creates a space where you feel comfortable, regardless of your level, and he encourages progress at your own pace without any pressure.
If you are dealing with pain, recovering from injury, or simply looking for a highly skilled Pilates instructor who genuinely cares about his clients, Alan is exceptional. I am so grateful I found this class. It has made a real difference in my life.
