To say that pilates, or more accurately, The Pilates Place, has improved my life would not be over stating things. I have an old injury that has severely restricted the sort of exercise I can undertake and at last I have found something I can (attempt to) do and a studio where the instructors, led by the wonderful Jackie Lim, are not only fantastic at what they do but ensure everyone feels that they are having individual tuition, even in the group classes. I can honestly say I have seen a real improvement in my body both in terms of strength and shape and although I still have a lot of hard work ahead of me, as one is constantly learning new movements, it never gets boring.
I cannot say enough good things about Jackie's Tras Street Studio and even when I am dragging myself there on a Saturday morning (well, lunchtime if I am honest) I always end up feeling 100 times better when I leave and marvel at Jackie's good humour and patience, no matter how late or early the classes or how long she has been teaching that day.

I have been having chronic pain in the cervical and thoracic spinal area of my back for the last 6 years. This injury started when I had a piriformis injury in my butt when I was training for my marathon run then.
I had seeked treatment from orthopedic doctors, sports doctors, aryuvedic physicians, tui na, TCM physicians, massage, acupressure physicians; all of them has 'successfully' failed to heal me.
When I first met Jackie Lim in 2010, I decided to give it one more attempt since pilates is mean't to resolve spinal structure problems.
I am glad to say I am now 90% healed. I don't get the constant chronic pain that used to be so debilitating. I like to say a big thank you to Jackie to help me on my path to full recovery.

"For a few years now I have experienced lower back pains that make it difficult for me to walk. As a result my exercise routine had to be limited to weight training and bicycle pedalling although I would like to be able to do some aerobic exercises.
Close friends of mine noticed my lower back condition and highly recommended that I should try Pilates exercises and referred me to Ms Jackie Lim, a dedicated Pilates instructor practising in Singapore. Ms Lim agreed to give me a course in Pilates and it has now been several months of twice weekly Pilates exercise and instructions which I have found to help me immensely by strengthening my core and developing greater body flexibility.
At age 83 and fully occupied with my professional work, I am now better at standing upright and walking with far less pain and effort prior to the Pilates lessons. I am convinced that by continuing with Pilates my body strength and flexibility will continue to improve and I will enjoy even higher quality of life and general well being.
It also give me great comfort to note that ms lim continues to improve her professional skills with Pilates by occasionally attending special lectures and seminars given by visiting international experts in the fields as I can anticipate even higher state of art training from her in the future."

“I took up pilates in the hope of finding a cure to my upper back pain. After 1 ½ years of pilates sessions at The Pilates Place, I must say that my upper back pain is now cured and I also have a better posture!! Thank you Jackie for being a patient & constantly motivating instructor, even at 8am sessions!!"

Dear Jackie,
I'd like to thank you, your trainers and Laura for making my Pilates training
in Singapore such a wonderful experience.
For the 6 months that I trained with you while I was living in Singapore, I
looked forward very much to each of my training sessions at your studio.
With your guidance and instruction I made a huge leap forward in my health
and fitness, and I feel so much better for having trained with you.
Whether I participated in the private sessions or the group classes, I enjoyed
the friendly, professional and experienced instruction of you and your
trainers. I always found your studio to be well equipped and ready for each
training session.
I wish you and your studio great success for the future.
Sincerely,
Brian Miller
